Sounds like every Rock movie I ever watched. Dumb story, cool movie.

It’s a poor screenplay and a poor film because of it.

So difficult to care about what is going on. I was so bored by all the constant repetitive fights and the lack of character development.

It's really sloppy. Provided you can handle the annoying kid, it becomes fairly watchable (In a cartoon way) during the meat of it with all the Justice Society stuff. It goes totally off rails at the end though and there's some truly embarrassing moments involving that kid character during that.

Also has odd stuff like the Justice League are merchandised and have comics, posters and such in this universe now. It comes off like advertising for DC products.

Did you enjoy John Wick?

The movie was enjoyable. It does have a poor script. Don't know if it was rushed, I so wish they took more time and effort with the script. There are many pros and cons in this movie. One of the top annoyances in this film was when Black Adam, who was trapped for 3000 years, woke up and had the ability to speak the most perfect American English. He did not change his accent?!? The Rock should have done so, what is the point of acting? Anyway. It wasn’t explained in the movie and only would have taken 15+ seconds to do so:

Black Adam: *says something in English to Adrianna (Sarah Shahi) for the first time*
Adrianna: How do you speak English so well already?
Black Adam: My magic allows me to speak whatever language the listener understands.

That could have easily been done. Oh, well...
