I don't understand who is advising The Rock in Hollywood

[The Great One]

I feel like he picks the stupidest fukking movies to do and is now hosting some show on TNT?

Let's take this new snitch movie that is upcoming, looks decent, but is this the movie he should be making at this point in his career? For example, I liked Walking Tall, but that movie was 9 years ago. This movie looks just like that, I just feel like his career should be moving forward not stagnating.

And what A List Actor hosts a reality game show on TNT? If he really wanted to do it, he couldn't have shopped it to CBS or ABC?

Hell Chris Jericho has a game show on ScyFy

 

[Lord Scion]

Ain't his ex-wife his business partner?

Anyhow.... I'm a Rocky fan and I'd have to agree, dude was hailed as the "next Arnold" when he first got into hollywood but doesn't have any mega hits to prove it. Sure, he's got decent hits like Get Smart, the Fast series and what not.... but for every hit he fumbles on shyt like Doom, Tooth Fairy, or Planet 51.

I think the next G.I Joe movie will be huge.... (it's got Bruce Willis in it), but he really needs that one flick where he can shine dolo and make guap.

But hell, he's making more guap than any WWE wrestler so I guess he's satisfied, but he ain't on Will Smith status.

Yeah......cuz every movie an action star makes is supposed to be box office smash hit

Glad u guys have rock on that high of a pedestal though

 

[Project Downtime]

Money is money.

Besides not every movie an actor make is a hit.

A-List?

My favorite thing Rock has done in a movie was the part he had in The Other Guys, but that was a bit part & it was comedy.

 

[Fellatio]

clooney flops all the time

Nah not at all, in fact, did I mention all of his movies? I think making Tooth Fairy and all that gay little shyt was a decent move to get him to the kids demographic.

I don't think he wants to be an Action Star anymore, he wants to do comedy and drama shyt, but he can't get those roles.

And I am not talking his movies being a hit or not, just the type of movies is ALWAYS doing.

Maybe this will be a good stretch for him.

He has an action movie dropping every month for the next four months

I don't consider him A-List. I'm not giving a movie he is in a chance just because he's in it

 

[ThatTruth777]

I think The Rundown was one of his best

He got revisionist history From being in fast 5. Like fast and furious 4 wasn't a hit he added to it but he wasn't the reason it blew up . The rock can act though so it's a plus but he was in that statham lane . Working cheapish flicks like faster . A constantly working actor which is good but not a real a-lister his wrestling profile though always helped him .

Money is money.

Besides not every movie an actor make is a hit.

That wasn't the argument though . You need some hits to be a-list

clooney flops all the time

Not really go look at clooneys last few movies they all made money and the descendants got him a Oscar nod . This is a bad comparison .he's not a action star and he doesn't do big budget action movies typically . Despite that flops are tolerated for Oscar buzz type movies anyway

 

[CM_Burns]

I think between the fast/Furious franchise, GI Joe, and that new Michael Bay flick, he's had some very good choices. He can stand out in those movies and be both badass and charismatic.

Rock becoming a true "serious actor" was never going to happen because he's not that good, and there are only so many roles he can play because of how he's built. His advisers were smart to abandon that hope and pick some good, money making action movies.
