Despite his parent's attempts to shelter him from the inescapable realities of the world, exposure to these realities ultimately took place. Unfortunately, in an urban culture devout to the beliefs lyricised by the late rapper, The Notorious B.I.G., "Either you sell crack rock, or you got a wicked jump shot," many young men easily become attracted to the allure of selling dope, referred to as 'trapping', as means of financial gain. When many of his peers were indulging in illegal activities, S.Black opted to narrate their stories. S.Black's rap career was put on hold after the untimely death of his best friend and brother, Christopher Palmer, known as 'Franky.' Following a rap career hiatus, S.Black now tells the untold account of his life and times through the release of his debut album, "Lord Help Me." S.Black's primary concern has always focused on the authenticity of being true to himself and his words as an artist while avoiding the cliche of being a mainstream rapper. "At the end of the day I'm not a thug, I'm not a hustler, I'm not a gangster, I'm just S.Black. ...Seems like nowadays everybody wants to be a rapper... I'd much rather be respected as an artist and a writer... But more than anything, I just want to be understood..." - S.Black. He is currently working on his next album, "The Perfect Tragedy."

Guess you can say there were multiple things why people were critical with this.
1. The story was a bit dated
2. The annoying kid
3. I also noticed that was an overuse of slow mo.
4. The villain sabbac was kind of wasted

5. The rock played himself again and wanted his own self-contained thing going.
6. Also noticed that the demons were pointless.

The only thing that I found consistent that people gave the movie props for was the jsa. I thought it was your average movie, not great, but not bad either.

@sadmankhan9630

I thought Teth Adam was just a normal person. But some people killed his family members. The last surviving members were him and his nephew.
The wizards granted both of them of the Shazam powers. The nephew wanted to save Kahndaq's people from those evil people, be the hero and bring peace. But Teth chose the way of vengeance and he believed that vengeance is the only way to peace.
So, he purposely killed his own nephew, took 2x of the powers and killed all the people who killed his family. Because of his blind rage, he was captured into his prison for so many years.

Comic version was FAR less altruistic. It was not his son that got the powers, but his nephew. His nephew didn't just give him all his powers, but split them between them. But Adam thought he was too idealistic and tricked his nephew into powering up Adam while he intercepted the lightning intended for his nephew, then killed him. So uh... kinda hard to root for that version of the guy.

I’m a firm believer it takes a special kind of vigilante or hero to handle some evil. You can be all powerful but evil has no bounds and it will use your bystanders, property and even love ones as collateral.(Joker injustice). Had the wizard chose black Adam originally he probably could have saved his son and restored Kahndaq. Sometimes being a noble, and good hero just won’t cut it.

This concept is best demonstrated in Marvel Comics with Mjolnir, Thor's hammer. In order to be worthy, you need to be willing to take the life of another if it is truly necessary and they are a major threat.

Just my two cents: I think they can develop Adam's characterization a bit more before the revelation that he was not who we thought he was. In his past life, Black Adam was either someone who tried to lay low to keep his family out of trouble, or someone who was oppressed to the point of complete batsh*t rage. When he was released in modern day, he did act weird but did not really show traits of someone who has been through what he has been through. He was more calm, showed unexpected compassion and willingness to help a couple of strangers that he just met, stuff that just did not seem to match to what he was before he was imprisoned.

Actually you failed to remember that he had already gotten his revenge and was imprisoned with nothingness. He was frozen just in a closed space til he was released. When he got out he only reacted to what people did to him. He didn't help those strangers for nothing, they helped him and he didn't want that mother to go thru the same thing he went thru. Plus his character ends when he decides to become the protect that country needed.

@DrPhoenixJKZ

He did have awkward behaviours, like a god flying around without knowing what to do.
But it is understandable, as he has a lot of regret, while the world he knows is long gone, including everyone he knows.
There is a part that he says "I am sorry" to the statue of his son because of he fails his son's purpose as a hero.
He does not know what he is , what he should be when he wakes up, and that is why he does not care much, and just behaves coldly.
And you know, even himself considers his power dangerous, so he does not really tend to blame the wizards for imprisoning him.
And he used to be a good father to Hurut, used to be a good person. It is not like he does not want to be a hero like his son, but just that he realizes that he can not be. But still, his purpose is righteous, so he tends to protect people and show compassion.
So, to me, this version of Black Adam is actually written good, because all his reactions feel just like a normal human.
And all this story, is about a normal person wants to do something right when being gifted godly power, even though he does not see himself a hero.

Bro, this movie was good. Idk why people didn't like it? I get that Black Adam was always a supervillain and not an Anti-hero. But this version of Black Adam is my favourite. He has a cool backstory at least to make him a perfect anti-hero. But he isn't exactly an Anti-hero too. He is a hero to Kahndaq. But he is also coming towards other cities like Gotham/Metropolis. Superman will stop him then and soon, he will meet Billy and his family.

Know the emotion is there, scenes like this just feel to rushed and not enough weight to them. Know this movie meant a lot to The Rock.

@darrylatkins5049

I think I'm the only one who hates this change. I liked Teth being more villain than anti-hero, still very much one, but more evil and self-serving. The dude only saves Earth because he believes it is rightfully his for the taking. That is Black Adam. Humans are too weak to be empathize with and spared and not conquered. That is Black Adam. But I get what they're trying to do with him, I just don't think it's as interesting

Yep black adam killed his nephew after his nephew shares a portion of his powers with him because black adam thought he was essentially not good enough to do what had to be done so took all the power

The movie is based off the new 52 revised origin of Black Adam, the version you are speaking of is from the Shazam series that came after the comic this film is based on. Both films are comic adaptations but from different series merged into one movieverse. The BA film takes elements from both stories and merges them into one with Shazam taking more from the newer series.

The line from the trailer makes much more sense now
Awful how his son died right after he saved him
Adam was left with nothing but pain, heartache, hatred, and revenge
He’s all powerful but never claimed to be a hero

This version is damn near an exact representation of the revised Black Adam story from the New 52. They changed a few things but this was actually a pretty faithful adaptation with very good changes. BA was a selfless hero but he still retained a severe no nonsense policy - The Rpck played him perfectly from the comics

Black Adam kills them when they teleported him to them after he killed the king. The wizard Shazam was the only survivor and he managed to imprison Black Adam. It's in the movie but the colors and speed of the action make it hard to see what is happening but BA kills the rest when they summon him.

Never understood the traditional idea of the Hero=no killing
Just because you shouldn’t doesn’t mean you ‘can never’. In Injustice for example, Superman was right. How many innocents would still be alive if Batman actually killed The Joker instead of arresting him?

Superman or just a man, one can blame a husband/father for killing his wife/child’s killer. I always thought a real hero was the one who did what no one else was willing to do; make the tough choices…the anti-hero.

@xGhouly ruthless yes but personality of the character he play was dumb, especially been taught by annoying stupid kid. I am sorry for talk like that, but this movie try to make black adam to be like terminator john connor relationship but fail completely.

Reason why terminator follow a kid teaching because he was a robot and not have any feelings system at first.

But here, teth adam was born as human, he had a son who got killed. And when he meet the kid he should dicipline and belt that kid for troublemaker he did to his mom (take a look how kratos teach atreus)

@Sinar Baru 1228 it’s all good 👍🏽 I respect your opinion and honestly I know many black Adam fans or dc fans expected more and changes but it’s okay be happy he got into the big screen!

OK The Rock, the only thing you need to do for this role honestly is develop an accent for the character and grow a widows peak or use some make up. Honestly this is probably going to be the easiest role on the planet for you to do.
The Rock: Nah, doing it as is.
Look Rock, see the comic book right here? We already changed the race of the character to whatever you are, we still don't know. I mean fine we won't do the accent, but at least allow us to do a widows peak? Right now you look like the Rock doing a terrible cosplay.
The Rock: Nah, doing it as is, more money now.
Sigh.... Alright start production on The Rock: Starring Black Adam.

We chose our champion wrong. Said the Wizard to Billy Batson.
The entire movie depicted that the Rock was the wrong choice. Whereas, it was his son who was the chosen wrong as he chose to save his father rather than saving Kandahq. And his father utilised the powers for vengeance. The kid was maybe pure in his mind and heart but his emotion brought Black Adam to the world.

Say what you want about the Rock being fake natty or any of the other multiple controversies he’s faced over the years, no one can say anything about him not being a perfect casting for Black Adam. Man is built like Black Adam from the comic books and the DCAU. It’s a shame, we probably won’t see the Rock portray Black Adam again. I guess at least we will always have comic books and the DCAU. The DCAU is a godsend, it’s truly remarkable how bad the DCEU is especially with the DCAU being so brilliant. We were bless, with great shows for Batman, Superman, the Justice League and no one can knock Kevin Conroy. As much as everyone love the Nolan trilogy, Kevin Conroy is still the one and only Batman, everyone else is just imitation.
