WOKE Critics DESTROY ‘Black Adam’, Face NO ACCUSATIONS Of Being Racist!

In a continuation of Warner Bros. Discovery’ particularly rough year, their last tentpole release of 2022, DC’s Black Adam, has been met with near-universal panning from legacy media critics – and curiously, none of them have been decried as ‘racist’ or had their actions described as ‘review-bombing’ for disliking a film with a non-white lead.

WOKE Critics DESTROY ‘Black Adam’, Face No Accusations Of Being Racist!

Since awakening from his slumber on October 21st, the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson passion project has, as of writing, amassed one of the worst critic scores of the year, as calculated by twin review aggregate sites Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes.

On the former, the Justice Society of America-starring feature currently holds a 41/100 score based on 50 reviews:

While on the latter, the thoughts of 223 critics have left the film with an equivalent rating of 39%, thus officially bestowing Black Adam with the not-so-coveted title of ‘certified Rotten’:

Yet, upon reading the actual reviews themselves, it seems that that critics held far less of a favorable opinion of the film than the above averages could even suggest.
“Dwayne Johnson is at his most uninteresting (muscles in spandex) as an ancient Egyptian bodybuilder who must learn (like Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy) that sarcasm is cool and that (like Arnie in Terminator 2) torture and murder is not,” dismissed The Times’ Kevin Maher. “Pierce Brosnan appears as a Doctor Strange knock-off called Doctor Fatek and the whole thing is buttressed by some ugly political revisionism.”

Echoing a particularly common criticism echoed among tired comic book movie fans, Glen Weldon wrote for NPR, “It seems both obvious and inevitable to note that, this many years into superhero cinema’s ascendancy, novelty comes at a premium. Even so, Black Adam seems perfectly content to pick over the wilted remains of the superhero-movie salad bar.”
“It seems both obvious and inevitable to note that, this many years into superhero cinema’s ascendancy, novelty comes at a premium,” he further discussed the film’s tired formula. “Even so, Black Adam seems perfectly content to pick over the wilted remains of the superhero-movie salad bar.”

The New York Times’ Maya Phillips similarly wrote the film off as “a dull, listless superhero movie that hits all the expected touchstones of the genre under the guise of a transgressive new antihero story.”
“If, as the credits roll for Black Adam, you’re still stuck wondering what defines a bad hero or a good antihero, know that at least the film clarifies one thing: What makes a bad hero movie,” she savagely concluded.

Continuing this line of ‘soullessness’-based criticism, The AV Club‘s Phil Pirrello admitted, “Black Adam unfortunately resembles large chunks of what came before: A brooding, weightless CG punch-a-thon, shot with the same grimy visual style of previous Snyderverse entries in the DCEU.”
“A movie full of under-cranked, slow-mo action (it’s really okay to let this aesthetic go, Warner Bros.) and over-plotted world-building that delivers more information than emotion because the movie struggles to ground this world on the backs of characters worth emotionally investing in,” he added.
