This is the closest a superhero movie has gotten to the Saturday Morning cartoons of old. What you’re really here to see in Black Adam is the action. This isn’t necessarily the stock “superhero origin story”, but it gets close to that. It relies a lot on voiceover instead of just letting the story go. There’s a wild introduction for the character and the world that sets up the story, but it feels a bit contrived. That team going head to head against Black Adam is a large portion of the film and when they do, it’s really where Black Adam is at its best. That team includes Doctor Fate ( Pierce Brosnan), Hawkman ( Aldis Hodge), Cyclone ( Quintessa Swindell), and Atom Smasher ( Noah Centineo). The choice on the filmmaker’s and creative team’s part to include the Justice Society isn’t lost on us either.
