10 Comic Book Movies Critics & Audiences Couldn't Agree On

10. Black Adam

There are movies that have been stuck in developmental hell, and then there is Black Adam. The news was first broke of the Rock’s casting as the titular anti-hero way, way, way back in 2007, 15 years ago, within a year of Robert Downey Jr.'s casting as Tony Stark.

This became something of a passion project for Dwayne Johnson, who took his usual full-on approach to the creation, production, and marketing aspects of any of his projects, but dialled everything up another notch. Imagine waiting 15 years of your life for something so important to you, only for people to dislike it.

This was exactly what happened with Black Adam. After so much excitement and anticipation, the latest DCEU picture released to a meagre and officially rotten score of 55%, and has since fallen to an abysmal 40%. However, then the audience scores came in and the story couldn’t have been more different.

The Rock’s DCEU debut, at the time of writing, stands at a monstrous 89%, which is higher than any other DCEU movie to have ever been released in cinemas (it still falls just shy of the Snyder Cut, but more on that later). However, it's impossible to say whether Black Adam would have enjoyed such a high score had it not been for that post-credit scene.
