Some little things I noticed.

  1. Hurut’s first transformation actually has hair or it’s a shadow that looks like a widow’s peak.
  2. Helmet of Fate actually has eyes when it’s activated.
  3. ADR is terrible, especially Amon's.
  4. All battle always leads back to the throne room which can get annoying, Kahndaq is pretty big so..
  5. Cyclone and Atom's romance leads to nowhere, it just feels like Cyclone is leading him on.
  6. A ton of slow motion, which I love! It is done in a similar fashion to Snyder's. I have not seen any complains about it, I'm sure people are just biased against Snyder.

Also, I teared a little when Cavill appeared, thank you Rock!!

I don't think there was any romance or leading on. Cyclone was friendly, but never expressed any interest in him romantically.

I didn’t mind the Cyclone Atom romance going nowhere. Would’ve felt too quick if they got together immediately. I mean they could’ve teased a date I guess but eh

Leading him on??? It’s called holding conversation. I don’t think anything exceptionally romantic was coming from either side.

Bruh the attitude some guys have towards women (as far as romantic situations go) is honestly terrifying.

I think they should establish the significance of throne room more, like maybe they can activate all the magic crystal or hypnotise Kanduq people or sth

What's ADR?

Automated Dialogue Replacement. It basically means that someone's dialog has been dubbed over with a re-recorded piece of dialog. Usually when the character speaking doesn't have their mouth visible on-screen.

E.g. if Hawkman and Black Adam are talking and they need to redo some of Hawkman's dialogue after it has already been filmed, that part of Hawkman's speech will show Black Adam's reaction as he listens to Hawkman so that you won't see Hawkman's lips moving differently to what he's saying.

Snyder used slow motion for weird things while his movies were already dragging. I could have lived my life without a seasme seed slow mo and wouldn't have made a difference.

Black Adam had tons of slow mo yes but adding all that and the multiple fight scenes, what was the length of it? And what's the average length of a Snyder film?

Nobody has a problem with slow mo, i have a problem with overuse of slowmo in a movie that desperately needs to lose minutes.

I understand you liked the way Synder did things. And it's ok. You do you.

But he was given multiple opportunities to showcase his work, and millions and millions of people rejected his work multiple times. I don't really understand the need to try to disqualify other people's opinion on a piece of art just because it doesn't alligin with your 'mission'

I realize this comment is a month or more old, the slow motion is what bothered me most. I liked both Black Adam and Zach Snyder's Justice League, but the amount of times slow motion gets used is crazy. The movement being like the Kryptonian's in Man of Steel was great though
