Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Ok, since we can't seem to not talk about The Rock in the Matrix Reloaded thread, I started this thread in hopes that you'll bring all your discussion in here.

Ok..I mentioned The Rock's next feature is Helldorado which should start shooting this fall. What Rock's role in this movie is summarized right here...

The Rock will play a bounty hunter roaming the Amazon jungles

He's getting $10 million for the flick so you would expect a good performance out of him. No where in the article does it [EW] talk about The Rock having a role in Revolutions.

I think Seann William Scott's in that too. So book me a ticket now.

I've made a pact with myself to see everything that Seann William Scott ever made after his performance in American Pie 2.

Oh and the Rock's pretty good too.

The man has charisma, but when entering pro-wrestling the fans hated him as the good guy. I mean they hated him! To try and get him over the then WWF (now WWE) suggested he try being a bad guy. CLICK! The rest is history, and then the fans quickly adored him.

He will rock as a bad guy in this movie, you'lll see

Im a big fan of The Rock, I was when he was a wrestler and now he is a movie star. He has been in some great films and when he does a comic book movie it is going to make him an even bigger star.

All I can say about Dwayne Johnson is that his films are entertaining. He's not the greatest actor but he's not the worst either. I dont mind seeing his films. Most of them are action at least.

the only thing I can say about the rock is that he's been destroy on the mic by CM Punk in WWE in 2013


(start it at 4:25 if you are interested )

I love The Rock!

The Rocks newest role.

He's getting $10 million for the flick so you would expect a good performance out of him.



What the hell does that mean?

Whatever it means, I feel compelled to point out that it was posted over 12 years ago.

I like the Rock. He's like the new 'schwarzenegger' these days

I've yet to smell what's he cooking.

No.

He has no iconic roles or great action movies ime. I always root for the Rock to be the next Ahnald, but he just hasn't made "that" movie yet.

I really get confounded by this one, but I think they just don't make those movies anymore.

I seriously doubt that he will ever have a seriously iconic role in the same way that, say, Schwarzenegger or Stallone will. Assuming that their most iconic roles were the Terminator and Rocky respectively (for the sake of argument, dispute me if you want), those roles were star-making roles that loomed large in the cultural consciousness and so granted the actors fame by association. Johnson, on the other hand, became famous as a wrestler and basically playing himself. As such, none of the film roles he's played have really come across as iconic because they don't manage to override his existing level of fame. The closest he's arguably come to having an iconic role is the Scorpion King, and even then I'm pretty sure that they've made straight-to-video sequels without him so it obviously didn't stick.

I get your point about his prior fame. He just doesn't play any unique character or face off against a unique villain. He just plays generic action guy.

I will always say that Predator is Arnold's best role. The main reason being the Predator and how great a villain/foe/monster it is.

I guess that as far as Schwarzenegger protagonists go, Dutch is one of the better ones since he gets slightly more development than his whole commando/mercenary leader archetype would suggest. Still, I'm arguing for iconography more so than quality because the Terminator is such a distinctive character while Dutch, for all his qualities, is not the most iconic part of Predator, let alone of Schwarzenegger's career.
