‘Black Adam’ movie review: Dwayne Johnson saves the day, despite some hiccups

The Hindu  

Though slow to get into its stride, once it does, Black Adam is fun — not OMG, eyeball-searing movie magic, but jolly good nonetheless. Black Adam Director: Jaume Collet-Serra Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari, Quintessa Swindell, Bodhi Sabongui, Pierce Brosnan Storyline: A superhero wakes up after a 5,000-year nap to find his world changed and still the same Run time: 124 minutes Among the sand and soaring cliffs of Kahndaq is a rare and precious metal, Eternium. Back to the Jaume Collet-Serra led Black Adam where the despotic king Anh-Kot, intends to use Eternium to create the Crown of Sabbac, to get unlimited power and rule the world. The JSA led by Hawkman with Doctor Fate providing irritatingly-vague predictions in hindsight, Atom Smasher eager to fill his uncle’s shoes, and Cyclone head to Kahndaq only to realise the ground reality is rather different.
