Combining the worst aspects of JUSTICE LEAGUE and SUICIDE SQUAD, the latest entry in the DC Cinematic Universe, BLACK ADAM, is an object lesson in how to spend a quarter of a billion dollars to make a tedious, uninteresting movie that seems to be much longer than its two-hour running time. The only worthwhile thing in this movie is Pierce Brosnan’s turn as Doctor Fate. I don’t think Pierce Brosnan could deliver a bad performance if he tried.
Wait, I spoke too soon. Brosnan was painfully awful in Mama Mia. Okay, amend that to, “I don’t think Pierce Brosnan could deliver a bad performance if he tried, provided the part doesn’t require him to sing.” Seriously, the guy can’t carry a tune in a bucket.
The only way BLACK ADAM could have been worse is if the script had required Pierce Brosnan to sing. If your choice tonight is between watching BLACK ADAM or cleaning the litter box, clean the litter box. Your cat will thank you.
Yes, I know I ran this review as part of a mass review a few weeks ago, but this one is so bad, it’s worth warning people twice.

I watched it. It definitely wasn't good. It was better than some of the crap I had tried to watch prior, like the Disney+ Willow series. I made it through one of Sorsha's sentences, which weren't in the same accent as the movie. So I bailed. The Nicholas Cage version of Left Behind made a amillennialist out of me in a hurry. So, Black Adam was like the first morsel of food from a dumpster after wandering the wastelands. I choked it down and didn't vomit.
“If your choice tonight is between watching BLACK ADAM or snorting the litter box, snort the litter box. It’s a less painful death” <— Fixed that for you.
