Yeah, I thought Black Adam was the best of what DC has done with their cinematic universe so far.

Just to note: Telegraph is a far right newspaper.

They're not as sensationalist as Fox News or OAN but take their views on Superheroes and "The crazy things the kids like nowadays" with a pinch of salt, doubly so when talking about black people

They're like a rich granddad who is mad every time a gay couple walks by

It is going to do gang busters no matter what. I won't be seeing it, but I know it will do super well. So all the bad reviews won't do any to the bottom line.

If you think black folk, for a movie like this, are going to trust traditional critics' evaluation of it...

the same thing happened with the first one

Unlike Black Adam whose production was pretty uneventful this movie had been in development hell since the beginning. As much so as the flash movie even.

So it being terrible isn't that big of a stretch.

Hell I don't think it should even have been made without recasting Chadwick. Otherwise they shouldn't at all in my opinion.

These critics don't know what they're talking about. MCU movies have always been and will always be amazing blockbusters. They're basically telling people 'stop having fun'!

That makes a whole lot of sense then that they hate Wakanda Forever. It's starring mostly black people.

I'm going to see it Saturday and I'm sure it's going to be great.

Hmmm not that im defending them but the mcu is in a tough spot it seems. Put in too many mcu references "too much mcu world building", not enough "it doesnt connect to anything"

I hope it has black male representation. So far there as many white male main actors as there are black male main actors.

No. Critics can usually see/play things before the general public. First public screenings will be on Thursday night.

I think it's weird when people use one review to try to make a point, like they already had some kinda bias for or against it, and they're using it validate their stance.

Far right news site aside, I really don't have high hopes for this movie. I think the quick move to Phase 5 next year tells me Kevin Feige just wanted to get this phase over with, and the laundry list of things that plagued it will culminate into the execution of this movie.

Well there are definitely less than in the first movie. We'll see how it turns out.

Yep. Already a user in this topic doubling down in how bad the movie is, from just this one review. It's like damn your bias is showing lol

Be careful what you wish for, they recast the black guy in Sense8 (similar reasons) and the replacement actor was far inferior

The original casting choices are generally made for a reason

Also lmao at topic title, how could you possibly have high expectations if you've seen the first

That doesnt mean quality, just that 92% of reviewers liked it.

Meta critic is much better for this.

meta critic is worse for shows and movies, better for games

less reviews go there so some fanboy/hater review can drastically alter the overall score. Some genre inherently review better than others.

A movie is less of an investment than a game, less money/less time. the thumbs up/down approach is much better where as for games metacritic is better

my take
