The Rock is about to break a Hollywood record for highest-paid actor

[get these nets]

An action star with no memorable action titles under his belt. Where's his Rambo, Commando, Die Hard, or Taken at? He's a success and a hard worker all the through no doubt about it but all true action stars have at least one defining role and movie no matter what. Not sure what Amazon is thinking with this move either

This seems like nitpicking. He is a bankable action hero. For years now, people who finance films have thought so, and they still do in 2023 to the tune of the quoted figure in OP.

This type of news also doesn't help the striking actors -who I side with- who are screaming out how they're living paycheck to paycheck and don't have healthcare insurance. They should've tried to keep this under wraps

Rock only cares about his brand and being the highest paid actor not making good movies

hate to agree with this but it's true, most of his movies are trash, I did like Black Adam though, but remember as far as action movies he was supposed to be the next Arnold, Sly or Wesley, but instead he did a bunch of forgettable family movies, smh

Good for The Rock for getting the Hollywood bag, but as a fan, me personally I wanted him to do more rated R action movies for variety, oh well

Why does it matter? People stay lining up to watch his movies.

Only 2 & 7 are valid. The rest of that shyt list is USA/TNT rerun status (besides bad boys. It’s good but not classic)

That list is full of Nukes driven by Smith my dude.

 

[Big Boss]

 

[Big Boss]

Does he even have a classic movie?

Where is his Rambo/Terminator?

Black Adam

 

[KFBF]

It'll be trash.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

is this his comeback film?

 

[Fanservice]

Racially ambiguous excellence

Nikka named dewayne Johnson, ain’t shyt ambiguous except where his hairline starts lol

 

[Vandelay]

Will has maybe 3. Care to name those 10 classics?

I was guestimating but...

Bad Boys
Independence Day
MIB
Pursuit of Happiness
I Am Legend
Hitch
I Robot
Ali
Edit: Enemy of the State
And shyt, you can put King Richard here too.

So 9...1 off. At best Rock has a Hancock.

 

[DaddyFresh]

They gonna regret it when that shyt flops.

They already regret it. This deal was made before the Black Adam flop and getting booted from DC permanently. He got them at the tippy top

 

[the cac mamba]

rock played enough of a role in Fast 5 for me to give him one classic but thats it

and how the fukk is amazon recouping 50 mil off a prime christmas movie

I feel like im watching the same shyt ive seen before just with a different movie title
His clothes his appearances the way he talks


I think i had g.i joe on and thought it was hobbs in fast and furious
