Dwayne Johnson is known for his fun-loving nature. He is extremely funny and often is successful in letting the tension down in a room. Filled with charisma, humor, and wit, Johnson is arguably one of the most popular actors in the world.
His latest film, Black Adam just came out. However, as per Rotten Tomatoes, it is one of the lowest-scored movies in the entire DCEU. During its initial release, it stood at a poor 54%. However, it currently stands at an even poorer 42%.

Although, Black Adam is not Dwayne Johnson‘s official entry into the DC comics. Prior to Black Adam, he played Superman’s dog in the animated movie, DC League of Super-Pets. The film also starred stars such as Keanu Reeves, John Krasinski, Kevin Hart, and Kate McKinnon among others.
During the film’s promotions, Johnson and Hart met with Andrew Freund of ‘Dish Nation‘. During the hilarious segment, the trio continuously joked with each other and pulled one another’s legs constantly. At one point, Freund asked the duo who had more money between them.
On hearing the question, the duo keep pointing at one another. Kevin Hart kept pointing at The Rock, and yelled, “For sure!”. It was at this point, Johnson took a hilarious dig at Hart’s infamous tax problems, and said, “Who’s got tax problems?”
They burst out laughing at this, and Hart took the comment very lightly without taking any offense. Hart had fallen into tax problems regarding his lack of knowledge of tax. Hart owed nearly $500,000 in taxes.
Dwayne Johnson: Where does Black Adam stand among the other DCEU films?

During its release, it stood behind ‘Man of Steel’, Zack Snyder’s ‘Justice League’, ‘Shazam’, ‘Wonder Woman’, and ‘Aquaman’. However, after a day passed, its score only degraded. The film receives compliments for its CGI and acting. However, it was bashed because of its violence and repetitive action sequences.

Black Adam currently stands at 42%; well above, ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’, ‘Suicide Squad’ and ‘Justice League’. The film took 15 years of commitment, but seeing it at such a low score, might break Johnson’s heart. However, the response the film is receiving at the theaters is enough to make up for their sadness.
