When Dwayne Johnson was on tour for his heartfelt project, DCEU’s Black Adam, people saw promise in the movie becoming one of the best in the franchise’s history.

Over 6 months after its release, Black Adam is in the conversation again. What must have happened that fans are once again shocked by Johnson’s first superhero adventure?

In light of The Flash’s poor opening weekend box office collection, a user named Kam Kenobi pointed out Black Adam’s commercial success. Despite not being able to break even at the box office, and being trolled for it, Dwayne Johnson’s movie is still the highest-grossing movie of the DCEU.

Since Black Adam’s release, the DCEU has released two movies, Shazam: Fury of the Gods and The Flash. While the former was not expected to break any records, the same cannot be said about the latter. Before its release, many publications and critics had talked about how The Flash has the potential to become one of the best comic book movies of all time.

 

But when The Flash finally hit the theatres, it left the fans divided. While some appreciated the movie for its highs, others were creeped out because of the CGI in the movie. But this information about Black Adam still remaining at the top when it comes to box office numbers is also dividing the fans about the movie, after over six months of its release.

The news about Black Adam certainly shocked a lot of people as fans flooded the comments section with their opinions. Much like the debate around this movie, the comments section was also divided. Despite The Rock putting his all into the movie, one fan found his acting “flat”.

One fan expressed his disappointment with Black Adam for not having Shazam in it.

Meanwhile, one user believes that Black Adam’s storytelling could have been tweaked a little.

On the contrary, one user believes that Black Adam was a good movie. They also said that the after-credits scene is one of the best they have ever seen.
