#HonestTrailers
“ The studio who hides the hero’s faces …because they are all about to get recast”. Best statement ever.
Can't guarantee any actor in future instalments these days, cuz all it takes is one mistype over reddit, or drunken 3am post on twitter to tank an actor's career. Funny thing about them doing that is, it kinda negates the point. Cuz r*pist or not, no one is going to watch House of Cards, without Kevin Spacey. And no one is going to watch Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny Depp. It's like, they remove these actors to save the brands, but ruin the brands by removing the actors that made them famous in the first place.
😂😂😂😂😂😂classic
@@sizlax he speak da true true
Even better is making them silhouettes so nobody will notice when we eventually black/minority wash them.
@@sizlax This is just so ironic when they holds to Ezra Miller so tight.
The bit about hiding the heroes faces is so spot on 😂
It helps disguise the fact that the Aquaman in all their intro's doesn't match the one used in the EU.
i was thinking that too hahahahahaha
That’s the only thing I didn’t like about black Adam
@@Gengrel the eu ?? Explain please
@@SeeSetJaeMiirTv dc extended universe
"Just enough PG-13 brutality to give grown men an alibi to see a $400 million dollar cartoon." Bro😂😂😂😂😂
James Gunn should just make all the new movies R-rated like The Suicide Squad
This film was fantastic
😂😂
I love how they killed the music when he said the “Autobots” line because the guy said he wanted to make it his ringtone! That’s an extra level of “We love and appreciate our fans!
"Adam Ruins Everything" genuinely made me spit the water I was drinking
How are people still making the mistake of consuming beverages while watching Honest Trailers!? Liked anyway 🙂
@@MaiAolei I don't disagree with you. That was a dumb mistake on my part
Did it though?
"really buff hot dog" got me rolling
@@saintniccage2818 yep. That's why I said it
I want so much more of Brosnan’s Dr. Fate, I felt like they cut a lot of his stuff. But he was the most interesting character to me
A Brosnan Dr Fate movie would have been cool (potentially with good writers)
Release the Brosnan cut?
Is there a way for an even semi-faithful Dr. Fate to be in something and _not_ be the most interesting character?
Honestly he felt like the main character of the movie
That's probably why he was cut so much... He was overshadowing The Rock.
My favourite part is how the Justice Societies first move is to instantly try to kill him with blatant disregard for noncombatants and then proceed to lecture him on how dangerous he is. Oh also love how this DCEU movie loves to say "heroes don't kill", which ones? Cos yours do.
Yeah, the fact they didn't even *try* to talk to the dude and get his side of things before going "I am the law" on Adam was kinda off-putting for people who *claim* to be heroes
Or how about the fact Adam comes back and immediately it’s “go capture him!” Then even at the end, “this city is now your prison!” Da fuq. He came back and literally saved the day and he’s still “your prisoner?” Some “good guys” you got there…
@@RavenEffect341 yeah and im not sure if it's on purpose or bad writing.
@@yuhyuh7603 the plot was just junk. Justice Society suddenly exists, Waller knows about them and sends them (which makes you question why she even pushed for the barely-powered Suicide Squad anyway), just to show up and push for “stability.” In a country where bad guys have tech that blows away Bruce Wayne, murder people endlessly, and keep them essentially prisoner. But oh, NOW you want to get involved when someone shows up that can help? Da fuq 😂
They went to the American school of morality...
The rubs the tip of the helmet line had me rolling...I didn't even realize til y'all mentioned it
that is why one should always watch the honest trailer. they spend time thinking about this stuff so you don't have to.
It does seem weird that the movie didn’t have Black Adam learning of Shazam in any way. Him learning that someone else has his power in the present day could have lead to an interesting storyline and conflict.
Yes, there wasn't even any teaser that they would meet in a possible sequel.
And the fact that the person who holds the power is a child against Adam losing his own child could’ve been interesting
it seems even weirder that anyone watching a DC film expects it to tie in snugly with anything else these days.
It's because The Rock only wants to deal with the big boys, meaning Superman.
@@1Chasg If he's not interesting in Shazam, then why was he eager to play his nemesis?
It's funny that Hawkman says multiple times in the movie that a bad plan is better than no plan at all, because it seems that the philosophy the filmmakers were following was "a bad script is better than no script at all"!
I mean, with the exception of The Batman, wasn't that the thought process of these current DC action movies? I'm knew I wasn't the only one who saw that. When I could come up with better idea of how these movies should be done, there should be a monumental concern
@@Piledriver2006 Seriously. Have they not learned from Green Lantern? Oh wait. They learned all the wrong things apparently.
@@thatHARVguy the saddest part about the true fact of what you just said is that there was a Green Lantern Movie Anthology Graphic Novel that after reading it I asked: "Now why didn't they just make that the movie?"
“A manic pixie dream tornado with all the powers and charm of a human vape.” 😂😂
"From the studio that hides their heroes faces in the intro because they're all going to be rebooted"🤣😭💀 Almost died laughing. Laughed so hard & I can feel my abs. Freaking savage!
The way that the DC recasting joke was made two days before it was announced Henry cavil isn’t playing Superman anymore 😭
The whole movie felt like Dwane's wet dream: Saving maidens and helpless children by fighting Terrorrists and Demons
Lol
truly the male fantasy
😂
1:24 “come out of the cave” “Resurrected Middle Eastern savior” “Less Jesus and more Zeus” The writer deserves a raise a raise for this level of smart-azz!
Starring Dwayne “The Kool Ade Man” Johnson … legit laughed out loud at that one. 😂
Oh yeah!
Pierce Brosnan legitimately ages like fine wine. Honestly could give "The Most Interesting Man in the World" a run for his money.
I hate how hot he is, because I know for damn sure I'm not gonna look that good at 70
I know he looks good for his age. Like a hot grandpa🤣🤣🤣🤣
Irish men tend to age well look at Liam Neeson
I feel like Sam Neill is another one xD
He is too attractive and that accent doesn’t help lol
The Gold Bond joke was so layered and I love it. 😂
I didn't get it until now, thank you!
That joke was more layered than this movie itself.
Can someone tell me what it is ?
@@1992Xenomorph the movie was 1 ply toilet paper when it could have easily been 2 ply layers
@@mr_ks_gaming Pierce Brosnan has played James Bond. Also, he's old now, so one might say Mr. Brosnan is in his "Golden Years". There may also be a connection to the medicated part, but I don't know of it. Perhaps someone else can help out. ETA: Brosnan's character is predominantly gold-colored, too, so there's that.
Not only do these never fail to both entertain and *skewer* the subject matter, these may actually be getting *better* with time! Never stop the content! 👍🤣
The Snyder Cut part with the slow-mo scenes had me hysterical and is so on point.
“Only big boys are allowed to see that! Now let’s go get you a video game on our way home.” I feel attacked.
But at least you get a video game out of it.
I didn't even get a video game...
This reminds me of that pic of the girl with her nerdy bf carrying that game console meme.
Don't feel attacked. Here, let's get you a nice video game to make you feel better. And then one for me for having the bestest ideas.
i know, men will forever be children, but that's a good thing!
"Adam ruins everything" omg 😂😂😂 too good!
What is that reference to?
@@prospersikhwari5289 Adam from the bible.
@@prospersikhwari5289 I think its because black adam didnt succeed, DC is pulling out plug to all the other dc super hero movies and going back to square 1
@@prospersikhwari5289 tru TV show by the same name
@@prospersikhwari5289 A TV series called Adam Ruins Everything
03:30 power and charm of human vaps. Hilarious 😂😂😂
Thank you Honest Trailers! Now I don’t have to waste 2 hours of time and money. Freaking love you guys.
you spoiled it to yourself was an enjoyable movie just for the action and comedy in it
@@gaunterdimm7522 - Holy crap. Master Mirror. So, Geralt never confirmed whether you were a djinn or just CD Projekt Reds version of the Devil. So, which are you?
I fell like they should have made a whole movie about Brosnan's Dr. Fate before this one. That character and performance was the best part of the movie and it never felt like we had enough time with him.
Well, then the Rock will get overshadowed.
Bring Fate back for some other movie. Don't care how, don't care why. Just make it happen. Insert Pierce into movie. You know it just occurred to me that he's got a similar charisma to RDJ playing Iron Man. If nothing else, have him materialize into the MCU. That works too.
@@polelix1023 That's why a movie should have been made before this. Black Adam can still be about the Rock being front and center.
Pierce Brosnan probably didn't want to be another franchise puppet. He probably was the one who demanded to the director that they kill his character off to prevent that from happening. Kind of like what Harrison Ford demanded with Han Solo.
@@androssteague Pierce Brosnan didn’t really want to leave Bond, and has said he would love to make another. I honestly got the impression he would really like it.
Definitely the most radical 90s skateboarding movie ever made
Tubular you could say
"Starring" has rarely been so perfect for every single one 😂
4:35 I'd totally forgotten about the phrase "shine them on." 😆
The Kool-Laid joke was really clever.
Yeah, I was thinking whilst watching the movie that those guys are insured. But the insurance only covers the Kool Aid Man walking through the wall.
While watching the movie I was wondering whether doors were invented during his time.
Everytime adam busts thrlugh a wal i just burst out laughing. Its so funny haha like bruh. Use a door? 🤣
"There's Adriana; she can read!" It was funny before but that's when I burst out laughing 😂😂😂.Savage! She was the best actor in the whole movie IMO.
Sarah Shahi is the only reason I would have watch it.
"Lara Soft." :D
My thoughts exactly
y'all really gonna disrespect my man hawkman
@@kristynamalikova5399 Same!
Whoever writes for this channel needs a raise and lifetime Chic-Fil-A.
I enjoyed both, the honest trailer and the actual movie, win-win here 😂
“A manic pixie dream tornado with all the powers and charm of a human vape” 😭😭😭😭
I remember when I first saw the CGI effects in the theater, and my first thought was "this would probably look a lot better if this was a video game".
I though so to, and then I watched it at home and the effects somehow improved. I still don't know why.
There was a point when filmmakers attempted to make CGI look real. Now they attempt to make it look like a cartoon.
I think the cgi was good, it just wasnt good in the context they were using it, the physics and other things werent believable. But it wasnt bad cgi by any means
Ngl, cgi/vfx Thor's lightning effects is more real than Adam's lightning effects.
@@spongeman1512 fr
5:49 "I hurut myself today." 💀
I chaperoned a field trip to see this in theaters with our school, and of all of the movies I have seen this year, it was one of them. Truly one of the movies of all time.
Underrated hilarity lmao
Wow, I have never seen a comment phrased like this. You are truly a genius.
@@KieranHunter that was one of the sarcastic comments of all time. It’s Huntin Time.
😂😂😂😂
Its Adam'ing time
Dr. Faith, a mystic who gets all "hot and bothered" whenever he touches the tip of his helmet😂😂😂
I'm so glad I'm not the only person who noticed that when I first saw this in theaters. I even said to myself Honest Trailers is gonna poke fun at that.😂
Spot Onnn!!!
HEY, PHRASING! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It just came out on HBOM and I liked it, shame it didn't do well.
The way the narrator speaks already tops the entire movie well done guy
Dwayne the Kool-Aid Man Johnson was unexpected and hilarious.
Oh yeah!
@@bentcn8511 Oh no!!
Zero interest in Black Adam... but would probably watch the Kool-Aid movie.
Every hero can be the Kool-Aid Man if they try hard enough
You were dead on with not remembering the villain. I didn’t even register the sky beam until this video.
Oh man, your title for this was SO perfect. XD
This was like my actual analysis of Black Adam made funny. 😂 Great stuff!
There's an excellent chance more people will see this youtube video than the actual movie.
That’s probably true of every Pitch Meeting video.
No doubt...I am one
@@SABRENOSE Same!
Heh yeah, I saw half of the movie before I decided that it was just too stupid and boring to keep going.
Action was great, and the bass was delicious. My subs were full
An Honest Trailer for Better Call Saul is what I want for Christmas
"I'm so far beyond you! I'm like a god in human clothing! Lightning bolts shoot from my fingertips!" (Seemed appropriate for this Honest Trailer.)
Based!
That show is one of the best spinoff ever made
owned
😄😄😄😄 I like your trailers man. Honestly. You've got talent
I didn't hit that like until THE TITLE AT THE END@! That was Awesome!
"No one looks like that much off a buff hotdog" when I tell you I almost fell out off my chair laughing😂
I mean, it's not like the kid couldn't just look a lot like his day or something and thus save on an actor.
You must be new to humour.
Same hahaha I'd watch anything the rock is in tho, he's a really hot hot dog.
I could careless about the Movie but Pierce Brosnan's Dr Fate was so dope
rubbing his shiny gold helmet
*couldn't careless, could careless means you do care about the movie. Brosnan was the only standout for the film tbh
@@markbrennan212 *Bond, James Bond
Couldn't*** care less, GENIUS
Just finally watched Black Adam last night… I was genuinely more entertained by this KZhead video.

“Cash Money Birdman” was hilarious, i loved it
🎯🎯
I need that one explained to me 🤔
@@Scipio488 probably because that actor's most popular role before is a thief & hacker, in a show called Leverage. It's a good series.
@@onepieceyamato2901 No. The owner of Cash Money records, one of the most profitable black owned rap labels ever, stage name is Birdman. You are correct he was on that show. But that was not the pop culture reference .
@@quest4redemption462 thank you bro because I didn’t fill like doing it.
Black Adam constantly walking through walls reminds me of the scene from Superman II, where Gene Hackman, after watching Terence Stamp and his crew walk through walls again and again, says "Don't these guys know about doors?"
Kryptonians: highly advanced alien civilization from another galaxy Also Kryptonians: don't know about doors
@@thatHARVguy Wasn't that also a plot point in "Signs" or whichever "Scary Movie" parodied it?
“Theres Adriana and she can read” 😂😂😂
The movie had many flaws, but the crashing through walls instead of open doors is what made me laugh the most. Had to watch it at home in 2 tries: fell asleep twice in the first half, both times during a major fight scene...
Please do an Honest Trailer for Wednesday (and release it on Wednesday)
Nice idea lol
Do this or we reeee?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do it for the Wenclair fans.
You fucking genius
The worst part is not that Henry Cavill is getting recast- It's that we wanted him for so long and apparently Dwayne fought for him to show up in the end credits, Just a few weeks later be like yeah we're recasting
Feels like the actors have a better idea of what fans want than the writers / directors
@@0SilentStone0 I'm sure James Gunn knows what he's doing.
@@MamadNobari he's overrated
@@MamadNobari But is WB smart enough to stay out of his way?
@@imapotato12 Oh yeah he's overrated but Zaddy is an actual auteur who has only made masterpieces only high iq people can appreciate.
"all the power and charm of a human vape" . Thanks for making me spit my coffee.
Best one I’ve seen in a long time
The fact that you could replace the "no Black Adam sequel" news at 0:32 with the "no more Henry Cavill" news and still tell the same joke is wild 🤣🤣🤣
Black Adam is definitely one of the superhero movies of all time.
It's definitely one of the superhero movies, that seems certain.
Love this comment
I see what you did there
So, Black Adam is DC's Morbius then?
Written by a top reviewers before prologue
Its been some time since we last got a good episode. This one's great
Awesome, Honest Trailers is always on point
It took a real long time, but Dwayne Johnson finally got his own Chronicles of Riddick.
Was closer to Terminator 2, but yeah I saw his dig at Vin Diesel in the movie. Vin kind of asked for it though with that last Furious movie.
😆😆😆 ...but wait, is he set to get a "Riddick" to bring it back around a bit? Because while nothing in that franchise measured up to Pitch Black, Riddick improved on Chronicles a bunch.
@@Strykar86 don't you DARE compare T2 to this hot garbage
@@dRoscoAZ 😂 Yeah, I meant that D Rock "wanted" this to be like T2 so badly and well, it fell flat. Like his acting.
@Strykar86 Oh gotcha. I don't think anything he's ever done, or ever will do for that matter, will match up to T2. Imo
Good to know that I'm not the only one who thought this is more of a video game than of a movie 😂
That was the best!!! Loved this 🎉😂😂😂😂😂
"Under the symbol of Rockefeller records" 😂 " Adam ruins Everything " 🤣
Self High Five. 💎
Okay the final credits “Adam ruins everything” was killer!
This is the best Honest Trailer in A REALLY LONG TIME!!! Dr. Fate killed it tho! Best part about the movie.
the "I Hurut myself today" got me
I love how dc has two sides, one is trying to make quality stories like the new batman, and the other half saying "LET'S MAKE A LITERALLY INVINCIBLE CHARACTER WITH NO WEAKNESSES, that's an interesting story right?" Also great video guys! keep up the good work
Lol
In their defense they gave adam a weakness, just absolutely ignored it.
@@souless88 If you mean the Eternium. I'd have armed all my soldiers with it, to at least slow him down. They just kept going at him with normal munitions.
He is invincible because Dwayne has in his contract that he can't loose a fight, which is so dumb
Ikr? I feel like there's a power vacuum within DC that has split the studio into two with people who are making good content versus ones who are just cash grabbers and make generic watered down stories.
It's so great seeing Hawkman in this movie. I was so disappointed he wasn't in the Justice League movies. He looks fantastic!
I want Hawkgirl in the justice league like the cartoon
@@KaraiNinja05 Hawkgirl fits way better
He is an underused character, people seem to prefer his wife. He really felt the brunt of that in the Justice League cartoon, they even took his origin story away from him.
He looked great ... but did they give him a huge power up?? I don't recall him to be anywhere near that strength level.
and they really screwed him over in legends of tomorrow... and series is supposed to be DC's strong suit
This is fun. Also in the end if you're not familiar with the movie nobody knows anymore who's fighting who 🤣🤣🤣
3:29 "with all the powers and charm of a human vape! I'M SO DONE!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man, I hope Aldis Hodge finds his place in a good franchise. He deserves it.
Him and Pierce were the highlights of the movie. The kid and the mom were so effin annoying
Entire justice soceity was good, Hopefully Lord Gunn dont ignore them
Yeah character could he be? Black Lightning/Vulcan in a Justice League movie? I think he would've been a better Falcon than Anthony Mackie.
Leverage

That intro hits hard lol the faces for recast
Idk why but literally everything he said about Pierce Brosnan and him playing Dr Fate makes me love him and him playing that role even more 😂😂😂
sky beam needs it's own trading card, I'd read that bio, especially how it changes all those magical colours.
I love the South Park "and he's gone" shout out. Classic
Adam Ruins Everything was probably the best title you‘ve come up with in the last couple years 😂
"Under the sybmol of Rockafella records" had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣
Can’t wait for THE OFFICE Honest Trailer!! 😄
I remember reading a comment saying “it’s so awesome that we finally got to see the rock in a serious role for once” I think about it every day
Surprisingly I loved Cyclone and Atom Smasher a lot in this film. The whole Justice Society in fact.

I can't believe what i've just heard... On 6:35 , Honest Trailers Guy said "Tea who you yeah bunny". When you say those words in one sentence, it sounds like this sentence in Polish language: "Ty chuju Jebany". It literally translates to "You fucking Dick" In English. Bravo to whoever managed to make Epic Voice Guy say it.

6:43 The line from taken was the best 🤣
"From DC.. the studio who hides the heroes faces in their intro because their all about to get recast" 😂😂😂 Absolutely killed my lungs
Love the fact you maintain the same standard over the years.
His best part of the video always is when he names the characters or the features of the movie in his way. 'The Snyder Cuts' was on spot... I realised it while watching the movie.
