That said, this villain is no worse than the standard Marvel villain in an origin story. The villain was not memorable and was just a big baddie for The Rock to fight in the climax. It's the best part of the film and often hilarious. The character doesn't want to back one step from his principles and just doesn't give a rats. In essence, Hawkman sets up for Dwayne Johnson to be Black Adam. To quote the Dark Knight, this battle of wills is an unstoppable force meeting an unmovable object. One character wholeheartedly believes in killing and the other is completely opposed to it. The heart of the movie comes from the moral argument between them. Aldis Hodge's Hawkman is a great straight man to Dwayne's Black Adam. I hope for a Doctor Fate solo movie with Pierce Brosnan. Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate is quite the scene-stealer, providing gravitas that grounds the conflict at hand and adds another level of seriousness. You get to know this team in the midst of the action, wondering about their origin stories or how they got their powers. The current culture has become so comic book literate where the story can just introduce a superhero team, the Justice Society of America, without any introduction. What Black Adam does is downright wrong, but it's entertaining as heck to watch it play out. As the numbers increased, the movie set itself in a tonal sweet spot that Marvel won't go near and Sony hasn't quite achieved with its Spider-Man villain films. My mouth dropped at Black Adam's kill count. Dwayne Johnson carves out his own superhero niche with his anti-hero, a concept which the film wholeheartedly commits to. While Black Adam isn't a groundbreaking top-tier superhero film, it is an entertaining superhero movie that makes it up with the charm from star Dwayne Johnson as an anti-hero and guilty pleasures including non-stop action, irreverent humor and a high kill count.
