So when you're the man, everyone throws big bucks at you for the big action blockbusters. They are disposable hype movies, that do their job at the theaters, but you wouldn't choose to throw one of these on at home probably 9 times out of 10.

I believe that when he gets older, and his hype dies down, we will see him take on some roles in more serious movies and he'll really show his versatility. Until then, can't knock a man for securing the bag.

He has no classic maybe some solid movies. Jumanji is nowhere near a classic, rundown is a decent action movie but not sure why it's hyped on here like it's some great movie and fast furious crap is nowhere near classic shyt. He's capable of being in some dope movies, I don't dislike the rock but most of his work is average.

How many classic action movies have been put out in the last ten years?
Dwayne does his things in his roles. Even if the movie is trash it's not because of him it's usually just the movie itself.
Like as bad as Baywatch was, it was 100% on script, not his acting abilities.

Pain and Gain is his best role.
San Andreas was good for what it was.
His movies are good level movies. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

None. Gridiron Gang is his best movie though.

Says volumes that generally the highest rated movie he has done has been a Disney animated movie where all he did was provide a voice. Trash actor that almost always does trash movies.

rock is all about volume. he's equivalent to an nba volume scorer. he's gonna pump out as many movies as possible and be happy with an average rating and big check.

might be a hot take but when it's all said and done, i think the rock will have one of the most successful acting career ever.
