I don't know why, it seems that there some inner studio influences in creation of DC movies where they attempt to add some extra 20% of the footage, and it results into 80% of the badness. Regardless of the director's name under the movie. They are trying to follow some kind of formula but I don't remember DC superhero movie that would excel in some way. Black Adam stands and falls with Rock.
For example, I have absolutely no interest in Atom Smasher and Cyclone, from introduction, to their fancy superhero moves, to the romantic subplot. Everything with these two characters screams testing waters for a standalone movie.
Maybe it is the inevitable result of having a superhero team movie where the focus is elsewhere, so they are just extras, with basically no involvement in the main plot. They are just there, slowing the action, prolonging the footage.
Action sequences are hit and miss. Final villain is another awkward guy with horns. Not a big step up from the other Justice League, felt longer than it was.
