Creed III Steps Into the Ring, Black Adam is a Big Mess, Ranking the Halloween Kills in Halloween Ends

Will the superhero movie bubble ever burst? I personally don't think so, but you never know. Superhero movies continue to be more prevalent than ever, but there's a growing sense that studios are running out of stories to tell. Everyone wants the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but even the MCU has been more than a touch lackluster lately (and I say that as one of the few people who actually thought Eternals was pretty good). Now, here comes the DC superhero title Black Adam, a film heavily promoted by its likable star, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Is anyone familiar with the character of Black Adam? And by anyone I mean the general public, not hardcore comic fans. I don't know, and I don't know if the film will be any good, as I haven't seen it yet. But we have the review for the film up today, and in the newsletter below, and folks, it's not very positive.Elsewhere in the /Film Newsletter, you'll find a spoiler review for The Rings of Power season 1, an exclusive excerpt from a new book about Clive Barker, the excellent trailer for Creed III, and much more.
