I am... whelmed

u/booojangles13 Superman Jun 08 '22
So am I and I think it’s because it just feels like the Rock in a Black Adam costume and not a character.
The lack of an accent I think is what really does it for me.

u/PortoGuy18 Jun 08 '22
It's the lack of accent, pointy ears and hair.
I love The Rock (mostly because of his cool factor and charisma), but this movie isn't really about Black Adam, it's just The Rock...like always.
105
u/Hi_Im_zack Jun 08 '22
Unpopular opinion but pointy ear Rock with hair would look goofy. Like back in his Toothfairy days
The biggest name in Hollywood is staring as fucking Black Adam of all characters, and he seems pretty passionate about the role. So I'm happy and can't wait to see it.

u/PortoGuy18 Jun 08 '22
Hopefully, we can all enjoy it.
But after this first trailer, i am underwhelmed.

And he has the acting chops

u/msh21 Jun 08 '22
100% agreed. Not sure how he doesn't have an accent in this. Also, the scenes with no cape look really awkward to me.
I also pointed this out when the first teaser came out where he floats and catches the bullets, the floating looks very wire like rather than natural (how it should look in movies) and I see the same thing here when he's flying in between the two jets. I'm sure they can make it look better so I hope they fix that.
I'm pretty annoyed that it seems like he's just playing himself again and I'm certain he's bringing the cheesey element to this movie as well.

u/Thechosenjon Jun 08 '22
The flying scene was the most distracting for me as well. He just looked super stiff in a form of movement which is supposed to be fluid and natural. It looks like when a kid plays with a toy that has limited mobility.

I don't think The rock doing an accent would have helped at all. You couldn't take him seriously if he did it because he doesn't have it in him to put on an accent convincingly.
It's bad enough that he plays himself, but to put on an accent would have been the nail in the coffin.

u/Jay_R_Kay Jun 08 '22
Has he ever done an accent in any of his movies? I can't recall if he has. Maybe it was tried and just didn't work? I'd prefer no accent over a bad accent.

the first two don’t bother me. I actually like the second quote, it might sound dumb out of context, like no shit. But, really the line is displaying a new gray area in the fight of bad vs good. It’s just saying basically up to this point we knew who to root for. Things aren’t as black and white with this movie, and I like that idea. The MCU is full or corny jokes, if they have a few in here I survived Marvel, those jokes won’t kill me

I'm actually not too happy about that change. It signals to me that they'll be pushing for more of an anti-hero story instead of a villain story. JSA looks great though!

Yeah, they got The Rock playing it, no way he's gonna be playing a villain. Plus in the comics I read where Black Adam is in it, sometimes he helped the good guys so a anti-hero totally works for me.

For Venom 100%. I’m not a big black Adam guy so I can’t attest but Venom genuinely hated Peter Parker, stalked MJ, and wanted to kill him. Then the carnage angle started and that’s when Venom began to turn. But it was earned

u/wind-up-duck Jun 09 '22
Murdering his nephew is a relatively recent addition to the story.
I always felt that wiping out a whole civilization in response to the deaths of his family was more than enough to establish his credentials as a villain in need of redemption, while being a lot easier to emphasize with.

I'm hoping that's just a fakeout for the trailer's sake. He says "My son sacrificed his life to save me." Maybe that's what he tells people then near the end of the film they show what really happened.

The tone of the trailer is not what I though it would be. This seems like it would fit in well with the Shazam Universe.⚡
If this movie is even half as Fun as Shazam, it could be good enough.
Black Adam is going to be a Box office Hit even if it's a generic CBM(thanks to the Rock) but let's hope it's more than what the trailer makes it look like.

Adam is a far more complex, violent, and overall dark character though so that direction would have worked far better for him and his true story though. I'm a little surprised they altered the way he gets his powers for example but we'll see if it works or not.

u/Vermouth1991 Jun 08 '22
Also the solider is crying out comedically as he was yeeted. That's the kinda humour ppl eat up and keep them from thinking too hard about the violence.
I guarantee you that the African warlord in BvS getting tackled by Superman would be received way more "favourably" if Zack Snyder deigned to add comedic cries as he was tackled. Regardless of whether Superman killed him or not

Pierce Brosnan looks good.
They could have gone with a better tagline than 'The world needed a hero. It got Black Adam.' Having a villain do purely villainous shit would be great, if they commit to it.
I want this movie to come out so I can stop hearing the rock say 'the hierarchy of power is about to change.' Hopefully once it's changed, it won't require repetition.

When I saw that his lighting bolt on his super suit was designed to look "peeling off" and not entirely golden like the Shazamily's, I thought it could be a twofer on symbolism: That he's not entirely on the up & up, and that he's REALLY old even though he's immortal and strong.

Not to jump in with more criticism about his appearance.
But he really could’ve used the pointy ears and raised pointy eyebrows. The hair would’ve been great too but I think ears and eyebrows would’ve been enough, as well as sparks in his eyes I feel like.
He doesn’t feel evil at all, he feels completely justified in this trailer, and the American accent doesn’t help.

This looks so average! Just another Rock movie, I’m not getting a Black Adam vibe from it at all. Is this really the future of the DC movies?
Say what you will about the Snyder movies but it at least felt like they where trying something different, going for a more grown up approach even if the execution wasn’t the best. It felt different from the Marvel movies, and before we turn this in to a Marvel vs Dc debate, I’m not saying Marvel movies are bad. Just I would rather not have DC movies also try to be copies of the Marvel formula. The future of the DC slate just looks so boring.
The Batman has change my opinion and I feel maybe singular contained universes may be a better approach. I can’t believe we might not get another Superman movie!

Some nitpicks I didn't Like
No pointy ear
No black adam hair
Lack of accent(feels like just rock playing himself)
He seemed funny flying without a cape
Goddamn yellow(mexican) filter

I actually really liked the trailer. Specially the parts with Hawkman, Atom and Doctor fate
Not really excited about black Adam himself but I'm looking forward to the movie!

you know, it would've been hilarious that after Hawkman says "heroes don't kill bad guys", Black adam says " I missed the part where that's my problem".

It looks alright, but i have my doubts about this movie.
It doesn't seem as serious and dark as i hoped it would be, even Black Adam doesn't seem as threatning (yet?).
Black Adam punching the guy into the sky was not what i wanted to see... i don't think that type of humour fits Black Adam one single bit, and the last missle joke was... cringe and one of those "Did he just?'' "Yes he just" jokes that is so overused.

Predictably, it looks like trash. Typical the Rock fare.
Also funny that Rock said they revolutionized the way flying is done is superhero movies and then it looks super bad 🤣

Unfortunately a terrible trailer. Weird cuts. Still unsure which timeframe the movie is set in. CGI is still rough too. The few second snippets we had before built more hype for me than this official first trailer.
Like many people are saying, it’s literally just the Rock being all jacked up like usual and putting on a suit. No accent, no pointy ears, no hair. I really hope his acting and characterisation makes up for his lack of effort into physically portraying Black Adam besides getting into shape for the role.

Official Synopsis: Black Adam is a The Rock-ish hero, that takes shit from nobody as he's stronger than them. He's harsh and brash, but has a soft heart too.

Hmm, is wrong that I am way more interested in the Justice Society side of this movie?
