Good day all. I haven\u2019t done a movie review for a while. One of the reasons is that I haven\u2019t been going to movie theaters to see them. Several that I used to go to have gone out of business, thanks to the Fauci Bioweapon and the Panicdemic lock-downs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another I go to is still in business. It also provides food and has a liquor license. However, their prices have gone up and the quality of their food has gone down. Because of this, I have been waiting for the movies I\u2019ve been interested in to hit the online streaming services, or the networks I have on my Dish subscription. One of these was the latest release into the DC Universe, Black Adam.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When I first saw that ads for it, I thought it might prove interesting. However, other things took precedence and I missed it in the theaters. It dropped on the Peacock streaming network a couple of weeks ago, and I watched it one evening. That was 2 hours I\u2019ll never see again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To say that the movie sucked would be an understatement. I am glad that I didn\u2019t waste the $10 seeing it in a theater. Watching it was like watching a slow moving train wreck, wondering if, at the last minute, they would somehow reverse course and not crash and burn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The actual cinematography wasn\u2019t bad, and the special effects weren\u2019t awful. The script, dialog and acting? There wasn\u2019t any to speak of. Of course, with Dwayne Johnson playing the lead, I wasn\u2019t expecting Shakespearean levels of acting and prose, but the acting was so wooden that I was expecting Johnson to be attacked by a swarm of starving termites.<\/p>\n

Even the cameo by Henry Cavill was a complete waste, since it\u2019s been announced that he won\u2019t be playing the role of Superdud<\/i><\/span> Superman any longer. The film cost over $200 million to make and it doesn\u2019t look like it recouped its costs. (Of course, Hollyweird accounting so who knows?) Still, the box office receipts world wide didn\u2019t break $400 million, so once again, we have another bomb in the DC Universe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They should stick with Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Superman and the occasional Batman. (When they get him right) All these third rate comic book characters that most people don\u2019t know or even care about aren\u2019t going to put a dent into the Marvel Universe. (The Flash is due to come out in 2023 at some point, provided the star is out on bail and available for the promo tour) Well, there are some interesting films coming up this year and I might actually head to the theaters to see them. We shall see.<\/p>\n
