Despite not technically reaching the target's AC, a Nat 20 is a Nat 20, so it hits. The hit is not a crit, because of the adamantine, but the hit IS a hit. The target will take regular damage from the hit, and any other special things that the crit would have triggered do not happen, because it's not a crit.
imho

so, quick question. Man A has adamtine plate armor and a shield, bringing AC to 21.
Man B has an axe he isn’t proficient in, meaning he just rolls 1d20 +0 for his attack roll.
Man B crits, Man A’s armor makes him immune to crits.
so now, it is just a normal attack. Does it hit or no? I don’t think it would hit, but it is still a crit..
(TLDR, Man B roll a crit, which is just 20. Man A’s AC is 21. Man A is also immune to crits. Does it Hit or not?)

Haven’t used this account in forever. Still a big fan of crawling claws.
Adamantine armor turns critical hits into normal hits. A hit is a hit.
At my table, I would rule that a regular hit.
