00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:04.140
Does Black Adam deliver
epic action and good

00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:04.980
lessons for kids?

00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:06.375
[Music plays]

00:00:06.375 --> 00:00:09.613
"Heroes don't kill people."

00:00:09.613 --> 00:00:11.103
Unfortunately not.

00:00:11.103 --> 00:00:12.240
"...well, I do."

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.180
Dwayne Johnson headlines
this DC Comics-based

00:00:15.180 --> 00:00:18.120
adventure about an
antihero unleashed on

00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.161
Earth after spending
nearly 5,000 years in prison.

00:00:21.161 --> 00:00:22.920
"I kneel before no one."

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.680
Not surprisingly for a
superhero flick, there's

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:27.660
lots of violence in the
form of large-scale

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:31.320
destruction, explosions,
shootouts, and intense

00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:32.760
fight scenes with some
blood.

00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:36.060
The high body count also
includes women and children.

00:00:36.060 --> 00:00:38.040
"You're here to exact revenge."

00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:40.740
Peppered into the thrills
is the occasional S-word,

00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:43.020
plus some rude insults
and flirting.

00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:43.800
"Here we go."

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:46.440
As for messages, the
movie tries to say

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:48.240
something about the
distinction between good

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.940
and evil, but falls short
of anything meaningful.

00:00:50.940 --> 00:00:53.586
"You can be the destroyer 
of this world..."

00:00:53.586 --> 00:00:55.584
"...or you can be its savior."

00:00:55.584 --> 00:00:58.449
Common Sense says
Black Adam is OK for

00:00:58.449 --> 00:01:00.000
kids 12 and up.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.440
