I don't think so. Word of mouth is pretty good. I just saw it, and while it haf a few issues, it was WAY better than I expected it to be.

94% Google users. I find that of all the different score/ratings sites, the one that seems to align the most accurately with if a movie is good or not is the Google user score. Now, I don't know if it's just coincidence, because we all know that scores/ratings can be manipulated by people and by critics, but from what I've seen, that particular movie ratings source seems to most closely reflect how liked a movie really is. So, again, I don't know if it's just coincidence, or if it's genuine, but that is what I've noticed over the years.

I'm sure this particular score at this particular time will change though as the movie only previewed yesterday.

The imdb rating is fake!

More BS from known troll!

Easy pal, rating this 10 is what is trolling.

Neo Nazi is butthurt! Rating holding at 7.2.

reply

Yep. Over 10,000 users rated this a 10.

This film is terrible, deserves to be no more than a 6 on IMDB

reply

The 10* are being ignored, look how much it's adjusted.
There are 10K 8* votes, that will be the peak next week.

Also working in the favor of Black Adam is that audiences aren’t entirely shrugging it a B+ (the same grade as DC’s other darker IPs, The Suicide Squad movies), 4 stars from general audiences, and 90% from kids under 12 on Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak and 89% on the Rotten Tomatoes audience meter. This despite the fact that critics found Black Adam entirely confusing, now at 41% on Rotten Tomatoes.
