According to Rotten Tomatoes, a movie critic site “Black Adam appeared in a single 1945 issue of the original Fawcett Comics’ The Marvel Family as the Wizard Shazam’s former and failed apprentice.
“Seeing promise in the young Egyptian warrior named Teth-Adam, the Wizard granted him all the powers he eventually gave Billy Batson.
“But when the power corrupted the then “Mighty Adam,” who used his abilities to kill the sitting Pharaoh and assume the throne, the Wizard dubbed him “Black Adam” and cast him out into space some 5000 light years from Earth.
“Finally returning five millennia later, Black Adam extended his anger to Billy and the rest of the Marvel Family.
“But that first story ended with a certain finality; the character ages rapidly to death when he is tricked into saying “Shazam” and relinquishing his powers.”
However the popular movie critic did not release a score or critic about the movie as it has not been released. Once the movie has been released, there will be professional criticisms about it as well as the viewers’ opinions.

Trailer
Reactions
Although the movie is yet to be released, there are mixed reactions from people all over the world.
Some persons feel that the the trailer did not do justice to movie.
Here are some of the reactions gotten from Black Adam’s post on Twitter.
Whoever made this trailer did a bad job. Music does not match the energy. So much going on. It looks like a good movie but trailer didn’t give me the super hero vibe at all.

What’s the point? How many other ways are y’all going to come up with ways to separate and divide our “Human Race” the only Race of Earth humanoids left.. ?

More comic book crap! What happened to movies about real life that required real acting. Example: Twelve Angry Men. The entire movie took place in one room but it was a great movie because there were actors, not models in super suits and cgi monsters.

Hilarious the amount of energy people put into the comments. Watch it, or don’t. Who fucking cares? It’s a movie. That’s all. It’s 2 hours ish of your life where you can suspend disbelief and enjoy a story.
