Watched it the other day and, well... it's fun. In a mindless unsophisticated way.
Some of the action sequences and visuals looked gorgeous and the movie moved along at a respectable pace, so there really wasn't any time to get bored and doze off.
But most of it didn't make much sense. Like, how and when did Black Adam learn english? He starts off in his native, 5000 year old language, and when then he wakes up in the kid's room and speaks accent-free fluent english. Oh yeah, and the kid... I get why they felt they needed the kid, but every single scene with im in it was just absolutely cringe-worthy.
The music in the mid-credits scene was awful and made zero sense.
I did like Amanda Waller's scenes though, she's an interesting character, and her scenes hinted at something a bit more interesting and serious, but unfortunately they (the team around the Rock) didn't manage to find the sweet spot between the more "serious" themes and the goofy one-liners. I wonder if in Zack Snyder's hands (if he comes back) Black Adam can become a better character. I guess it all comes down to who can reign in the Rock.
