Black Adam
Overview
Five thousand years in a tomb will put anyone in a bad mood. Teth-Adam was ancient Kahndaq's champion - a man handed godlike power and then imprisoned for it - and when he's finally freed into the modern world, he hasn't mellowed one bit. He tears into Intergang, the powerful organization squeezing his homeland, with the kind of violence most superheroes would call excessive. He calls it justice. That puts him on a collision course with the Justice Society of America, a team of heroes sent to contain him before his one-man war burns the whole region down. From there it's wall-to-wall action, powered almost entirely by Dwayne Johnson's sheer star wattage - this is his show, and everyone on screen knows it. The plot is thin, the CGI is doing a lot of heavy lifting, and nobody's pretending otherwise. But as a big, loud, mindless superhero spectacle built around the Rock doing exactly what the Rock does, it delivers what it promises. Stick around after the credits: there's a post-credits scene with a very familiar face in a cape that fans had been begging for - and in the moment, it feels like the start of something.
