I don't consider Rock an A-list actor but he may get there this year: 5 movies, 1 TV show, WWE champ... He's having his best year ever.

There is nothing wrong with this...guy had a LONG string of films that came into #1 or 2 opening week for years.

Like if you put Rock with Kate Beckinsale..who gets top billing? Rock kind of has no problem doing whatever the role that best suits him...like in the Other Guys with Sam Jackson. Just how he is.

What is wrong with being in Jason Statham territory?

Not to mention, rock's run in children's movie was actually great for him.
Which included the incredible, witch mountain.
Where he actually still has a draw, to be interesting in his primary function.
Which is action...

Plus, he was great in the inspirational movies as well.
Not to mention, he does not have a deplorably awful film either.
Except the sequel for get shorty.
Now, he is doing a run of action that suits his highest draws from his past movies.
This thread is just pure hating, as usual.
Let that black man shine.
He is one of the few.
You, really can not have a bad gripe about on any level.
If you do,...
You are just hating, period.
Rock has done no wrong and always given high quality without fail.

Just stop hating,......

I don't consider him A-List. I'm not giving a movie he is in a chance just because he's in it :yeshrug:

Dude makes too much money to not be considered A-list. Granted, I think we can all say he's on the lower side of A-list, but it's stupid to say he's some kinda jobber or mid-carder in Hollywood.

Rock will never win an Oscar doing Fast Five or GI Joe either. Stop trolling, I am asking serious questions here. I want the guy in better shyt. Like someone said, he is in Jason Statham territory. Aren't you the least bit :dwillhuh: that his show is on TNT? How could he not get his show on a major network? TNT is nice, but he should have been on CBS or ABC with that show.



Yup, I agree 100%. this is what I was saying. I just thought he would be at the next level of Hollywood/Movies by now.

Every actor is not meant to be Oscar worthy some are here to fit certain roles. I would like to see Rock in better roles too, but his career shyts on Jason Staham. Rock has starred in several huge blockbusters over the years. Has Staham even had a role in one.

I'd say that too. A List is basically any actor that can draw in a big blockbuster movie.

Rock pretty much fits that.

The rock fans are acting like saying Jason statham territory is an Insult when it's not :beli: they refuse to hear anything but he's top box office

He's not . ( well not before fast five and journey 2 ) lets see how snitch does . Most of his movies don't make big money your getting fooled by fast fives performance . He contributed but doesn't get any more credit than vin diesel and Paul walker . That's why they get top billing, see that producer credit for vin diesel :manny: ... If you can get a movie made just by attaching your name that's what makes your a-list really as of now rock can't do that

You damn sure aren't gonna check for a movie that has a WWE star in it though. That will never be a reason you go to the movies and pay your own money for.

Anyone whos that is str8 up full of bullshyt or 12 years old.

Jason Statham:laugh:

Get to "Race to Witch Mountain" money first....PURE comedy:laugh:

What is wrong with you ?? The rock isn't the biggest star in Hollywood just stop it your being real delusional or your trolling . Your smart in the comic thread and other non- rock subjects but now your coming off ridiculous . The rock is a good actor and he has some successful pictures but he's not a-list . Jason statham gets credit in Hollywood for opening 2 franchises on his NAme . (Transporter and crank ) the rock has some nice films Jason statham does too . That's why if the spoiler of him being the next villian in fast 7 is true you'll see him up top with vin Paul , Then rock

Most of Rock's movie do like double what Statham movies do and Statham has never done Journey 2 numbers in a lead role.

And Rock is 1a & 1b in the Fast franchise now with Vin Diesel. Nobodies checking for Paul Walker, he's lucky they didn't bring Michelle Rodriguez back, he'd be 3 then :laugh:

rock is like at the cusp of a list actors, solid b and respectable but he doesnt have a single film that makes you go :whew:

i think gi joe might help but a single, dope movie that he can carry mainly by himself and hes definately a list

They rewrote the script for GI Joe 2 to build the movie around Channing Tatum after all the success he had in 2012, they went back and reshot a lot of scenes which is why the movie got pushed back a couple times..

bbbut the Rock is an A list actor and biggest draw in the WWE and in Hollywood. Why would they push a movie back just to add Channing Tatum?:ld:
