With Skyscraper flopping, does The Rock need to change his gameplan?

nicca are u insane or live in a backwards world :dahell: his whole acting career is based off his charisma. Damn near every review for his movies talk about his charisma and charm he brings to the role more than anything else.

So why all his solo films are flapjacks. Also everyone knows that reviews and awards are paid for in hollyweird. You would have noticed if you wasn't jerking off to Central unintelligence. The boy can't act his way out a wet paper bag. That's why he make so many cookie cutter cgi bullsh1ts. Dis nicca paid for him the whole village people and the blue oyster to see rampage at the village matinee.

On top of that... cats in here comparing supporting cast to actual star roles... that’s not a direct comparison

Yeah that shyt is weird. That's like saying Arnold or JCVD didn't pick the same caliber of movies as Harry Dean Stanton in the 80s

Southland Tales, Pain & Gain, Snitch and Faster were all dramatic roles to differing degrees.

You know what South land tales is a very underrated movie & is faster the one one with billy bob thornton? That was good too, different role for the rock that he pulled off well. And my favorite movie of his is Gridiron Gang, one of the last movies I can recall him actually playing a black man.

No. Who cares, he still turned in great performances.

You nikkas would rather be on a 30-52 team, averaging 27 points than on a championship team putting up 16.

Drax is more memorable a character than anything in Dwayne's filmography.

By your definition then, Rock isn't the biggest movie star in the world and doesn't earn the most per movie. His way of going about things is just as valid as Batista's. He's in a position where he not only gets to pick the roles he gets but have a hand in the production on those movies and be a genuine creative partner. So he's not going to trip if they don't all do well or if fans on the internet don't like some of them. He can't be concerned about that. He's got to do what's best for him and his career and his fam. If we don't like that? that's on us.

I'd rather be the dude who's in complete control of my destiny, with my own production company, and a leading man breh if I'm being honest. To you, Drax is more memorable than Hobbs but I'm sure there's someone out there who loves Hobbs more than Batista. Can't live your life trying to please everyone breh

Damn right:russ: Harry Dean has a serious list when you lay it all out. On the strength of Alien and Escape from NY alone, he's in the HOF. But the roles available to him vs the roles available to Arnold or JCVD? Come on now

Why is Bautista even being compared to rock?

Has Dave even had the leading role in a film yet?

Yeah Rock's competition would be other leading men right now who play in the same field as him. So that's Vin Diesel, Channing Tatum...and I'm drawing a blank
