‘Mr. Rock, Your Reign Has Ended’: Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Scorpion King’ Gets Slammed by Netizens After DCEU’s Flash Becomes an Instant ‘Disappointment’

Dwayne Johnson wrestled for eight years in WWE before deciding to switch to Hollywood. He landed his first big screen role in the 2001 movie, The Mummy Returns. It was a small yet crucial role in the movie, which later landed him the lead role in The Scorpion King, the next year.

The movie was a box office success as it gained three times that of what the filmmakers invested in making the movie. However, it also received severe backlash from the fans and it was reportedly because of its ‘poor’ CGI. Now, 21 years later, once again fans are lambasting the movie for its poor graphics and comparing it to the DCEU’s new Flash movie.

DCEU didn’t do justice to The Flash

The Flash 2023 movie hit the theaters on June 16. It was one of the much-anticipated movies of 2023. But it looks like the movie failed to create an impact on its audience. Considering the fact that it’s 2023, and the movie belongs to DC Extended Universe, fans thought that its graphics were not up to the mark.

In fact, they compared it to The Scorpion King which was released 21 years ago, when there was still advancement going on in the field. It is safe to say that The Flash movie soon became a disappointment among the fans and led to people making fun of Johnson’s 2002 movie along with it.
