Black Adam | October 21, 2022 | New Line | Don't worry, it's a hit. Dwayne Johnson says so!

This movie could’ve used some better editing. That’s my big takeaway. All in all, it’s a pretty standard superhero movie. There’s nothing really unique about it or noteworthy about it. It really does feel like something that should’ve been made back in 2014 or so. 
 

I’m not entirely sure how general audiences will respond to this. I think the crowd at my theater liked it, and the mid-credit scene got some reactions, but I don’t know if this is the kind of movie that would get a strong rating on Cinemascore.

Ya, I kinda agree with this. My theatre liked it but I assume if you’re there on preview night you’re either a dc fan or cbm fan in general. Maybe this gets a B+?

Superman vs. Adam is going to be a major event film. That is all.

Sorry ahead of time to @Eric Adam and the mods if things go sideways now. My bad. I wasn’t trying to stir anything up. 

Nobody's said or done anything stupid so far, so it's cool. And as long as people keep it that way, we're fine.

Looks great on screen.

I really didn't enjoy this. But I can't stand Dwayne Johnson, so no surprise there.

Define "major event film".

Maybe if they build it a few years it will be a major event film for dc standards(maybe Aquaman numbers?). If they just go right into that for the next movie then it will be like BvS all over again. It should be BA destroying Shazam and then Shazam and Superman teaming up to fight BA.

Superman vs. Adam...Sandler. The kids will love it!

[HouseOfTheSun]

Pretty good tbh. Nothing innovative but I’d watch a sequel 

[Flip]

Holy shit this is really going to be a good crowdpleaser, went from 85-90 audience score in like the last 30 minutes

[elcaballero]

Hadn't checked the RT score all day, didn't realize it's fallen so much. Sounds like the audience reception could be okay, though?

[Seth Irskens]

Really Enjoyed this Movie! Here's our short movie review of it as well!

90% from verified audience score, this should translate to A right?

A- but I would wait a day.

Yeah, from the early looks of it, this is going to be one of those "On the cusp" A-/B+ CS movies. If JW Dominion could eke out an A- with its low ComScore and exit polls, I could see BA pulling it off. Let's see what tomorrow's Thursday previews report says.
