Black Adam
- I want to say that I don't know why this movie exists. It's just... damn near a parody of superhero movies from this century
- AM I missing the point? Was it actually a parody?
- But sadly - Hanlon's Razor suggests not...
- It really does seem like some movie exec types really are as simple-minded and as cartoonish as worst estimates, and said "Um, yeah, like - Marvel had a Black-Superhero, and it did really well, so... let's do that?"
- Throw in a shit-ton of other characters that I'm sure DC-
comic-sorry-"graphic-novel"-fucking-nerds will recognise and understand, but nobody else will... - And we get a horrifying B-grade mixtape of X-Men vs Black-Panther vs Guardians-of-Galaxy
- With tit-watch: zero
Just atrocious.
1 under-utilised People's-Eyebrow out of 5 under-utilised "can you smell what Black Adam is cooking?". 's.
Or 1 stupid-henchman who decides that firing a gun at an obvious "meta-human" is a good idea, minutes after seeing the lack of effect... out of 5... locals who suddenly decide that an uprising against literal agents of fucking hell is sweet, after enduring decades of oppression by dumb-ass south-african mercenaries. -

I have a feeling it is better than this…….
I think the narrator of the trailer makes the movie even worse than it is.
What’s even more scary is I actually remember seeing it as a kid.

Lucky I’ve got @Bones to audit that thread and point out my discrepancies.

Nicholas Cage through the years
I still find it weird that the only time he had a full head of almost natural hair his skull was on fire.

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre. Directed by Guy Ritchie. Starring the Stath, Aubrey Plaza, Hugh Grant, Carly Elwes and Josh Hartnett.
This was actually really fun, it's the Mission Impossible movie I've been wanting where the team has a mission and they do it and don't wind up being double crossed by their bosses (although they do have a competing team).

4.5 Waymonds out of 5 Evelyn’sBloody hell. Sounds like the bizarre dinner conversations I once had seem to have with the truly weird woman I dated a couple of times after I split up with the Ex.
