Name one movie the Rock has done on the level of Terminator 1/2, Total Recall, Predator, or any of the Rocky's outside of 5.

Don't talk, just name them. :unimpressed:
I'm not putting him on the same level. But I'm saying is what other action stars are putting in the same kind of work

The comparison can be made (action stars who aren't expected to give oscar-level performances), but Arnold and Sly still gave us truly great films despite their limitations.

Rock's been in Hollywood for 18 years and has nothing to show for it but box office numbers that didn't come until well after the fact.

At some point, people are gonna get tired of the nonsense. Some already are. :yeshrug: Ya'll have killed better actors for far less. This dude gotta stop getting passes sooner or later.

Rock made an attempt with Southland Tales, Faster, and Pain & Glory. But you gotta remember, the 80's were a different time for movies in general.

So I've been told this is pretty much one of those ridiculous 80s action movies with current technology. Is that true?

Hobbs is straight comic relief now.. I remember when dude first showed up on the scene he was nothin but brute force and attitude

My guy Idris is basically the Winter Soldier and The Rock was Captain America pulling a helicopter with 1 hand

Statham is Falcon
