The new DC superhero film " Black Adam " starring Dwayne Johnson will premiere in North America on October 21,
This new film is highly anticipated. Dwayne Johnson's own super popularity and box office lucky positioning make the audience think that "Black Adam" will change DC's dark temperament, and may bring a family-friendly popcorn blockbuster
a week before the release. The first round of reputation of "Black Adam" by North American film media has also been released.
The first round of reputation is polarized. Superman appeared for five seconds and the most exciting
The production of "Black Adam" has been delayed for a long time, and it was even planned to be released in December 2021 at the beginning. Unfortunately, the preparations for the film were extremely tortuous and did not start until April 2021. Naturally, Not up to the original schedule
Black Adam is DC's anti-hero. Dwayne Johnson intended to play this role in 2007
But we all know that at that time Hollywood was still popular with glorious superheroes. I was really unsure of such a big villain's movie. Who would have thought that the audience is tired of watching superheroes? "Venom" Wait for anti-hero movies to start selling
DC naturally thought of Black Adam
The origin of Black Adam has many versions in DC. Judging from the movie trailer, it follows the setting of DC restarting the new 52
The comics Black Adam lives in Kandak, where thousands of years have been slave society , The ruler was extremely cruel to the people. A pair of uncles and nephews lived a very hard life. They were beaten by slave owners every day. Seeing that the uncle was almost out of control, even the gods couldn't stand it and came forward to save the two.
also gave his nephew Shazan's power to rescue the suffering Kandak people
Unexpectedly, facing the temptation of divine power, the uncle actually became selfish and killed his nephew with his own hands, stealing his divine power. This uncle is Black Adam
Such a setting is a bit too much in the movie. Judging from the trailer, Dwayne Johnson should have made changes
The nephew became a son, and he voluntarily sacrificed to save Black Adam. Black Adam killed the Sifang for revenge
Characters like this can indeed resonate with the audience
But the media have different opinions after North American. The current review of the movie is very extreme
positive review is the movie action scenes that are excellent, and can be called the best in the DC movie universe. The visual effect is good. The Easter eggs are enough to excite fans. It is definitely the best superhero movie in 2022
but there are no major superhero movies in 2022
The bad reviews of the movie mainly come from the script. The characters and story emotions of the movie are average. The real villain is a bit weak. Dwayne Johnson is like all his movies. He is invincible in the movie. The movie actually has no sense of tension, because Dwayne Johnson beats the villain without suspense
But both good and bad reviews are mentioned Superman! This iconic character of the DC movie universe
DC will give up in the past two years. The news that Henry Cavill version of Superman is getting more and more intense. It is even said that it is to enable the Black version of Superman. However, with the insistence of Dwayne Johnson, Henry Cavill version of Superman will appear in the Easter egg of "Black Adam". Although it only took five seconds to appear
still reassure DC fans
It is said that Dwayne Johnson also wants to promote the movie Black Adam vs. Superman. I personally expect it very much
Production cost exceeds 1.4 billion. Dwayne Johnson's new film is here. The mainland market has confirmed the release of
At the beginning, DC "Black Adam" wanted to benchmark Marvel's "Venom", the low-cost R-level movie
However, Dwayne Johnson is already a top star in Hollywood. With the tortuous production process, the production cost of films has exceeded 200 million US dollars, or 1.4 billion RMB. However, in recent years, DC's movie box office has been average, and the box office pressure of "Black Adam" is still very high. The pre-sale of the movie is also average. According to prediction, the box office of North America is likely to be around 50 million US dollars in the first weekend. This result is very average for a 200 million US blockbuster
However, compared with Marvel, DC has one more mainland film market
Although it cannot expect China and the United States to be released simultaneously, "Black Adam" has released Chinese trailers and Chinese propaganda materials. In the past two years, DC's movies have been released in the mainland as long as there is no scale problem, and now it has been basically confirmed that they will be released in the mainland, and the Taiwanese movies in China will premiere globally on October 19!
Dwayne Johnson himself also has a good box office appeal in the mainland market
From the trailer, "Black Adam" has excellent special effects and dense laughs. In addition, there is no major new film scheduled for the mainland film market from October to December. "Black Adam" is very likely to be airborne in the mainland New Year's holiday to save the scene. The entertainment needs that mainland audiences squeezed for a long time are estimated to meet
Conservative prediction "Black Adam" has a box office of more than 500 million
