What Black Adam Is About
Black Adam (2022) is a action and adventure film produced for Movies that premiered on October 21, 2022.
It stars Dwayne Johnson, Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo and Sarah Shahi.
What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 125 minutes and it leans into its action/adventure roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the film leans on Dwayne Johnson, Aldis Hodge and Noah Centineo to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Dwayne Johnson, Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari and Quintessa Swindell lead the cast.
Key roles include Dwayne Johnson as Teth-Adam / Black Adam; Aldis Hodge as Carter Hall / Hawkman; Noah Centineo as Al Rothstein / Atom Smasher; Sarah Shahi as Adrianna Tomaz; Marwan Kenzari as Ishmael Gregor / Sabbac.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, adventure and fantasy have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 6.1/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2022 and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with action and adventure viewers.
How Black Adam Compares
If Black Adam lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/adventure lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Black Adam is the kind of film that rewards a patient watch, with Dwayne Johnson and Aldis Hodge doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/adventure roots, It has held up since 2022 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Black Adam is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and adventure lane, the audience score holds around 6.1/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 6.1/10. Watch it if you want action/adventure you can settle into.
