The Rock needs to play a villain. A straight up ruthless villain. And I'm not talking one of those.3rd act reveal, "ohhhhhh he's been bad the whole time." No, I mean a straight up Clarence Bodikker motherfukker.

That's the change of pace he needs. Something that by its very existence will make people want to see if he could pull it off. Something to truly pique our interest.

:manny: That said, I'm still gonna see this. Haven't watched a holiday movie in theaters. I like The Rock, Chris Evans and JK Simmons.

Problem is Rock would refuse to take the L in the movie playing the villain :heh:

The only Rock movie I remember liking was The Rundown other than that he's the king of forgettable mid. He's been in good movies Moana, Jamunji remake, and Pain and Gain (people like those FNF movies) but as a star he's tiring. He has gotten his bag several times over and established himself but with the rise of Cena and Batista his failures are sticking out more and Dwayne himself is viewed cynically as a product. He's still a charismatic likeable guy but he needs to branch out, maybe lose muscle like he did in 07' and stop trying to force himself as an action icon.

Though I still feel he got a somewhat raw deal on Black Adam, he's gotta stop making cheesy shyt for the checks and put some work in on serious craft, or link up with a good, motivated writer/director on some Coogler/Jordan time.
All of those Black Adam issues he brought onto himself. Hitpieces come out when movies flop all the time and his dictating control over aspects of a movie isn't the first time an actor has done it. The problem is that you better make sure that movie is a success when you do it.

Instead of him just taking the L and keeping it moving, he caught hurt feelings and tried doing the exact same thing again in trying to control the narrative. Even to the point of having Deadline and Hollywood Reporter literally beefing with each other, which is the first time I can ever remember that happening.

He's catching that humble and learning that what you did in the wrestling world, doesn't carry over to Hollywood and they'll tire of it at some point.

I'm talking about it not being nearly as bad as a lot of critics and others said, which I always suspected was because it was a brown man and brown citizens whooping the shyt out cac colonizers. That's not his fault. By DC standrds, it was B-tier with potential. Certainly not perfect, but again, for DC, not bad at all.

Movies are a matter of subjective opinion. What one finds a decent movie, others might not.
