Review best movie this winter #181

Finally, that lunatic moron have prevailed. The Rock was chosen to play a superhero. A jaw-dropping big-screen spectacular called Black Adam brings together the greatest action actor and the most extravagant effects-driven genre.
To be fair, this is the ultimate blockbuster.
If you like movies of this category, you'll love Black Adam, which is now a box office smash. With Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson playing a rare villain(ish) role and wreaking devastation with a knowing smile to the camera, the movie presents a humorously murderous antihero who injects irreverence into the superhero notion.
Director Jaume Collet-Serra takes pleasure in dishing out death and destruction, from the eponymous character's skull-crushing debut to a ludicrously violent spoof of the X-super-speed Men's moments (but in a humorous way). Black Adam is a fully guilt-free guilty pleasure from beginning to finish (even the inevitable post-credits sequence and fan-pleasing cameo).
This makes Black Adam, the movie's worst shortcoming, all the more tragic. Dwayne Johnson, also known as the Rock, one of our most endearing performers, plays the part as a lifeless, heartless block. This may serve as inspiration: The film sometimes has a Terminator 2: Judgment Day feel, and the actor was often compared to Arnold Schwarzenegger earlier in his career. A skateboarding youth tries to teach Adam catchphrases and how to behave like a hero. Johnson was never an uncomfortable actor like Schwarzenegger was, despite his limited range. Even if his films often fall short of Schwarzenegger's, he has always been a far more approachable and vulnerable actor, and seeing him perform with a stone-faced expression makes us feel as though we are missing out on something valuable. Only at the conclusion of the movie, as his expressionless grimness transitions to something more like to deadpan basketball stars unblocked, does our protagonist's face show a trace of recognition. Though appreciated, it's now too late.
More importantly, Johnson's disagreeable stoniness makes it harder for him to take action. Despite the fact that we are aware of his abilities, the sometimes emotive dialogue surrounding the status of his property calls for emotion. "Just say "Shazam," and we'll all be taken home. "I don't have a home," ("We both know you're not allowed to be here," "We both know you're not allowed to be here.) You may start to imagine how much more effective and precise Black Adam might have been if he had said these things with even a hint of resentment, hopelessness, or boiling rage. It turns out that the character's refusal to feel emotion has a narrative justification. This is a weak justification, however, and it comes out as a cop-out. Even worse, it casts doubt on the scene since Johnson is so expressionless for a large portion of the movie; I would guess that he wasn't there while it was being filmed and that they merely animated his sections using a picture of his face.
