Black Adam currently has the highest audience review score on Rotten Tomatoes for any theatrically released DC movie since The Dark Knight Trilogy. Debates are raging over the function of Rotten Tomatoes scores, sparked by the gulf between Black Adam’s critics and audience scores on the review aggregation site. Only 41% of critics gave Black Adam a positive review, amounting to a “rotten” aggregate score. The film’s critics’ consensus reads, “Black Adam may end up pointing the way to an exciting future for DC films, but as a standalone experience, it’s a wildly uneven letdown.” However, 90% of audience members who chose to review the film on the site reacted positively to it." That’s equal to the audience score of The Dark Knights Rises (The Dark Knight sports a 94% audience score). The only DC Extended Universe project with a higher score is Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which was released on HBO Max.
