Black Adam‘s release led to many discussions among fans. While many fans are convinced that DC films can be better and this is just the beginning of it, others are saying that it’s not the first best DC film. Fans are impressed with The Rock as Black Adam and are saying that he is the perfect actor to play the character. Dwayne Johnson is not the only actor who received praise for his performance. Pierce Brosnan has also impressed viewers as Doctor Fate and fans are now asking for a solo movie or show for the character.
