Black Adam gets instantly trashed by critics
Black Adam scored a 55% RT rating. It now has a higher Rotten Tomatoes score than only three other DCEU projects:Justice League(39%),Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice(29%), andSuicide Squad(26%).
The majority of the criticism addressed atBlack Adamappears to be focused on the story of the DC film. The Associated Press’ Mark Kennedy stated,“Director Jaume Collet-Serra and the design team do a great job in every department but are let down by a derivative and baggy screenplay by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani that goes from one violent scene to another like a video game.”A critic also commented that,
“The idea of introducing new heroes with powers first, origin later, seems appealing on paper, but knowing nothing about the Justice Society and its members doesn’t make them particularly interesting adversaries for our anti-hero protagonist.”
