 Re: BLACK ADAM - The Rock is a superhero Thegun wrote: It’s funny how much I don’t trust review sites anymore I use to care a lot about IMDb, RT, cinemascores, etc. I just feel like they have moved from a source to a novelty at this point. More than half of reviews are from people like us at this point. Non bias is definitely in the minority now. I totally agree. The only one with any semblance of respect is Metacritic, and thus that one's not as publicized. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: BLACK ADAM - The Rock is a superhero OMG there is this guy at coming soon Jeff something. He might be the worst reviewer of all time. He just claimed scream 3 was second best and Halloween ends 3rd best off the franchise. He is not the only one. That site is an absolute joke now. Anyone of use can take that’s 37k job and do it better

Re: BLACK ADAM - The Rock is a superhero As long as they back up their opinion, I don't mind. We all have some surprising preferences when it comes to movies. The ones you've got to watch out for are the ones whose opinion lines up perfectly with IMDB, because they're just phony film fans. But I haven't read a review in years, must be more than a decade. I only check Rotten Tomatoes as a way to help gauge a film's chances at the box office.

Re: BLACK ADAM - The Rock is a superhero If Black Adam was a Marvel film it would be considered a bomb.
But because its DC we can ignore that it has a similar budget and will likely finish with similar numbers to Eternals

Re: BLACK ADAM - The Rock is a superhero Movie critic system still feels more honest/less groupthink-y to me than either TV or music critics

Skeptical it will play closer to F&F films. Feel more likely it will play like The Batman if it actually gets released there

Re: BLACK ADAM - The Rock is a superhero Films need to be budgeted assuming they won't play in china at this point

Re: BLACK ADAM - The Rock is a superhero If you go back far enough EVERYONE at some point said something that the Chinese government would hate. It's just an excuse to not show a big Hollywood movie. The real reason is that it's an American blockbuster.

It is out on itunes today, but WB is not putting it on Max the same day as they have with all their other films. That's probably smart as it'll get a little more mileage out of its box office run.
