Johnson’s superhero debut raked in a whopping $67 million for Warner Bros. Discovery in the United States, totalling over $140 million worldwide, to put Black Adam on a solid track toward profitability from its reported $200 million budget. Nevertheless, when it comes to critics, most Black Adam reviews refer to it as a mixed bag, contrary to the overwhelmingly positive reception it received from fans.

One person who’s more than happy with this trend is Black Adam himself. Johnson put out a tweet celebrating the current 90% score the movie has on Rotten Tomatoes, with it doing similarly well on other review aggregator sites such as IMDb (7.1/10) or Metacritic (7.5/10), despite it not faring so well on Letterboxd (2.9/5). Conversely, Black Adam’s reputation has been ravaged by critics, as the film qualifies for a 39% rotten score on the Tomatometer and it possesses similar margins on any scale that separates viewers’ opinions from those of critics.

Although Black Adam benefits greatly from Johnson’s star power, the actor is more than happy with that. He thanked fans for their support and put their reactions and satisfaction above anything else. Black Adam’s reception is one of the most recent examples of diverging opinions on superhero films among moviegoers and critics, though by far the most extreme, with Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Thor: Love and Thunder all having similar, albeit much tighter spreads.

Suffice it to say, out of those four, Black Adam is the one doing worst with critics, yet it’s also the one fans appear to love the most. Admittedly, Black Adam is far from perfect, however, it does set the DCEU on a course and brings back Henry Cavill as Superman, something that will undoubtedly have many folks excited about both characters’ future.

That’s far from the only thing Black Adam sets up for the DCEU, and on top of that, Black Adam will also be joining MultiVersus this week, which might help the game pick up some further momentum after a noticeable drop-off in its concurrent player base.

Black Adam is currently available in theaters.
