Has The Rock surpassed Will Smith in popularity?

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

Will's name stands on its own. Anyone can recognize his brand right off the bat.

The thing with Rock is that he's all over the place and is only relevant when associating with other popular actors.

That's true. I like the Rock but it seems like he will literally take any role put in front of him.

 

[Will Ross]

He bigger than will now. But not touching will in his prime.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

To be fair to the Rock tho, his trash movies are usually never his fault. Dope ass action and charismatic lines can't save a shyt script or shyt co-actors.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

No. The rock only been hot for like 7 years mainly due to the fast & furious movies.

Will Smith was putting up huge #s on the music scene & the film industry at the same time.

Will is Mr. Blockbuster.

But Smiths peak was prob>>

Average actor though

But that's a part of what makes you a great actor, picking roles. Knowing who your co stars are and reading the scripts.making sure they are good movies. Every actors makes clunkers but the ratio of good to bad movies is what people remember

 

[O.T.I.S.]

No

Will actually got classics under his belt.

Rock probably has made MORE movies by now

But Will has better quality movies and even shown better range (Ali, 7 Pounds, etc).

Will movies used to crush the summer.. Rocks movies have yet to do this.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I think Rock has a better grasp up on the current social media generation, but to Will's credit he has done incredible keeping his relevance and name brand still around. Him launching a youtube channel was genius and Fresh Prince still being the sitcom standard helps him great too.

And Will JUST got on social media

I will say that I enjoy Wills movies much more than the rocks. I Am Legend was good, Ali, Independence Day (back in the day), both Bad Boys but mainly the first, MIB, etc.

I like maybe like 2 Rock movies honestly and theyre not even his biggest movies. He’s not bad but im never checking for his shyt.

 

[Master Teacher]

what type of stupid ass question is this, no. Will Smith been poppin since the 80s the Rock is not as famous as him

 

[Benefited]

does anybody go and see a movie because The Rock is in it:respect:?outside of wrestling fans that answer is a no,and wrestling fans will literally watch anything.
