I thought that was the best DC movie so far out of what they're trying to make into their cinematic universe.

I don't think critics are capable of understanding this. This is what people mean when they say some people just don't know how to turn off their brain and enjoy something for what it is.

Yeah, audience scores are usually heavily influenced by fanboyism, incel rage and all other petty biases.

Like, it wouldn't be surprising if half the reason it's so high is simply because of who shows up in the movie.

You dont have to agree with critics in general to understand an aggregate of professional reviews has more value than a completely unsecured viewer score that is frequently hit with bots to pad review scores.

The suicide squad is the only movie I've loved, not liked, loved from DC's garbage showing. Even the existence of that trash margot robbie harley quinn character wasn't enough to bring down the movie due to the rest of it being so good.

Is black adam anything like that? I only kind of liked Shazam, it's okay but I was expecting something better for captain marvel after loving him in young justice and liking him in brave and the bold/justice league unlimited

I'm not wrong. I've found significantly more validity in user scores than critic scores over the years. Barring the obvious review bombs because of hateful political motives, the audience score is much more reliable for predicting whether or not I'll like a movie.

I haven't seen TSS yet, but I'll say that Black Adam has a ton of good action, fun music, and a solid sense of humor that doesn't feel like Marvel goofiness.

For one thing tss has higher critic score than audience score for some odd reason. If there are audiences that didn't like tss, they have no taste

Audience scores in general are too vulnerable to manipulation to have any value. You'd be better off finding individuals you trust and getting their opinion

That seems to be a common consensus. Though most people prefer Dr. Fate my favorite character of the bunch was Hawkman.

saspa posted...

No. The movie has more in common with Deadpool than TSS although it's got less humor and more action. I think Deadpool is a better movie though so if you didn't like Deadpool you probably won't like Black Adam either.

Critic score aggregates are actually literally useless. You need to actually read the reviews they write. They're not being paid to write a number on paper and walk away. They write thoughtful and insightful reviews and if you actually read them you may gain a better understanding of why they like or don't like a movie and more importantly if you agree with them or not.

Deadpool? As in 4th wall breaking, hilarious ryan reynolds deadpool? I can't wrap my head around how a BA movie in any universe can have something in common with Deadpool.

Then again I don't think of deadpool and tss as that different, they're both quality entertaining comic book movies

It's a bit different as it's a fictional middle east country. Gods of Egypt is legitimately Egypt. Lol
