DC’s #BlackAdam Rock! Lots of action, characters you’re immediately into and great pacing. Dwayne Johnson strikes a good balance between menacing and villainous, but also empathetic. Especially like Hawkman from Aldis Hodge and Doctor Fate from Pierce Brosnan. More JSA movies please! pic.twitter.com/YSCco9zYA3

#BlackAdam is DC’s most action-packed movie to date. It’s a nonstop thrill ride, it’s all about spectacle, and it knows that. Ther3 barely had time to breathe or even talk. @TheRock is a perfect Black Adam and Pierce Brosnon is a standout characters. This movie has fans excited! pic.twitter.com/HxCYYNw11w

Black Adam is everything I could have wished for and more. A Snyder-esque antihero spectacle that offers big action and impressive positioning. Dwayne Johnson became Black Adam, the character he was born to play. Centineo & Swindell looks very interesting. #BlackAdam pic.twitter.com/V1tY0liyph

#BlackAdam is built on some epic, non-stop action. It immediately made me want a sequel with a smoother story.
When it moves, it’s a direct shot of adrenaline. The characters suck, especially Teth-Adam and Doctor Fate. This is a shit movie. pic.twitter.com/XeMFgcB3OG
#BlackAdam is a game changer! ! This is the #DCComics movie I’ve been waiting for & it didn’t disappoint others. @TheRock As brutal as Black Adam! This is what I want Black Adam to be like. The action in the movie is non-stop & see #JSA It’s a thrill on the big screen! pic.twitter.com/NigTxsfmd7 — Joseph Deckelmeier #BlackLivesMatter (@Joelluminerdi) October , 11
[email protected] in Fabulous in #BlackAdam, which includes tons of real-world touchstones (most impactful is that it strengthens in depressions period demand for heroes). Director Juame Collet-Serra laid out the cornerstones for a larger, grander universe. The action is lively and the scale is grand. pic.twitter.com/pDBkSHRDrI — My horrible name *isCourtney Howard (@Lulamaybelle) 1580366878148788224October, 35
#BlackAdam It was hard to get a foothold at first, but once the Justice Society got in, it got more interesting. Dwayne Johnson’s antihero brings an interesting new dynamic to the DCEU. Stereoscopic visual effects. Weak bastard. The end credits scene got the biggest reaction. pic.twitter.com/qbVmWkYLjv – Matt Neglia @NYFF (@NextBestPicture) 1580366878148788224October, 35
#BlackAdam is a massive DC outing. The action was brutal, and Dwayne Johnson delivered on his promise to turn the DCEU in a different direction. The story itself has its ups and downs, as certain scenes don’t quite work out as expected…though there are moments that fans will love. pic.twitter.com/0TTwyiC2fS — Austin Burke (@theBurk3nator) October, 35
I have seen #BlackAdam ! It’s one of my most anticipated movies of the year, and it didn’t disappoint. The action sequences are incredible, especially JSA’s action sequences. The rock smashed it into Black Adam. The ending of the movie makes me have high hopes for the future of the DCEU. 1580363006059630592 pic.twitter.com/ vd0Zy11lWT
