Rock lost this battle by giving a fukk what critics thought.
Even the actors way better than Rock have had critics shyt on a movie but the fans love it. I remember the first Matrix it was shytted on heavy then months later it was being franchised same with Star Wars and a franchise Rock belongs to Fast & The Furious.
Nah, critics always loved the Matrix. Bad example.
Rocky always been known to act like a big azz baby when things don't go his way. He's famous for that. Watch his Punk'd episode. He damn near got arrested for his ho-ish antics. It was almost surprising. That Vin Diesel feud was real too. He will turn into a straight diva.
By the way, the movie flopped
HARD. If he didn't sense that flop coming, he wouldn't have gone so hard trying to convince people otherwise. It's the old WWE in him.
I'm a Rock fan, but I have never had any illusions about the guy. I followed his career and I'd never vote for the guy as President. Pro wrestlers are snakes by nature, especially from that era.
Baywatch had two things that made it an international hit. The story.....YES FOR REAL...the story. Sure people laughed at it, but it was a drama. Some people were actually into it. And the breasts. They took out the big ol tiitiess and replaced it with a bunch of diicks. Then they replaced the story with comedy. So what was the point?
