  I mean, maybe? I don’t know this is set in the same area of DC as Shazam and while that move was fun it was very much at the kids end of the comic book movie spectrum. Also this might be an unpopular opinion but The Rock. He plays The Rock in either serious form or comedic form but it’s always playing The Rock so I can’t imagine the character development being brilliant. Lastly, Piercer Brosnan claiming that he’s been on 4 James Bond movies and they came no where near the epic nature of this film, well I sincerely hope not… remember this god awful nonsense?
  
  
  
  Anyway, here’s the featurette.

  I think The Rock announced that he was going to play this role almost a decade ago. Since then I lost interest, but this featurette looks decent and the supporting cast is solid. I wonder how they'll tie this into Shazam.

  This looks fairly decent. I'm most intrigued to see Pierce Brosnan as Dr Fate and Aldus Hodge as Hawkman, more than I am to see The Rock as Black Adam. I do wonder how they're going to tie this into the Shazam films. I really like to choice of using Murder to Excellence by Watch The Throne as the song for the trailer.

  After appearing in full costume at the start of the Black Adam panel, The Rock released the latest trailer and also gave everyone in attendance in Hall H a free ticket to see the film when it's released in America. Nothing that we haven't already seen before in any of the previous trailers really gets revealed in this trailer, it just looks like the same first and second act action sequences just from different angles. Brosnan's voice over is smooth like butter though.

  This is the best trailer they've released so far. I didn't know Viola Davis as Amanda Waller was going to appear in the film. Giving more screen time in this trailer to the Justice Society of America, and especially Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate and Aldis Hodge as Hawkman was a smart move. The mansion and jet did feel a bit like X-Men though.

  It was actually fairly decent, but my expectations were relatively low given that this film has been in development for fifteen years, and that Black Adam should really be a villain in a Shazam film instead of a hero in his own film. The Rock does what he always does in terms of providing a bit of charisma, but this time it was with a bit of a more brutal edge. Pierce Brosnan was that star of the film though, by giving the film a bit of effortless poise. Aldis Hodge was good as Hawkman by providing a different moral perspective to the film. Swindell and Centineo were good as the young rookies on the Justice Society. Shahi, Amer and Sabongui were good in their supporting roles. There are four pretty cool cameos in the film, but one of them will be the one that most people will talk about and really look forward to seeing again in another DC film.
