I like how Rock didn’t even bother with that ridiculous fake accent and spoke perfect American


That was even more hilarious since other actors were forced to speak with broken English. But Rock was like: "Nope, dont have time for this nonsense" and was just speaking and acting as a regular American from year 2022 not someone who woke up straight from 5000 years ago.

And I also love how Rock knew English right away. Movies can pretend that characters speak their native language for few minutes and then they start speaking English because otherwise there would have to be subtitles whole movie. Like in Avatar 2. And its fine I support it.

But the thing is - Black Adam was often speaking with other character who in no way would knew local language. Like Peirce Brosnan and gang. Then Viola Davies in the end.

Movie didnt even bother with anything. It was hilarious.

It bothered with a few things, 1) it was woke as fuck, 2) it ignored so many laws of physics it was nothing but a cartoon, and 3) it ignored the comics it pulled characters from.

I could forgive #2, given it's a superhero movie.
