Poll of the Day > Do you like this person: The Rock

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was pretty neutral with him as a wrestler and a crummy action movie actor (the scorpion king). I don't know how or why he's pretty much the biggest name in Hollywood right now, he's likeable sure, but his acting makes Arnold look brilliant. He does seem like a good guy who would actually take time to chat with his fans and I respect that he arose from the absolute bottom, but his movies just aren't for me. If someone asked me what the worst theatrical movie I've ever seen was, the tooth fairy is the first thing that comes to mind. Overall, I would say I'm definitely neutral.

Donald J. Trump: 32.3%

No, but I don't like any wrestler, rapper or pop musician that moves into movies and gets roles that should be left to professionals/upcoming actors that have put in the work.

what about The Tooth Fairy seemed like a 'quality' movie?

anyways, check out They Live. That's a quality non-actor movie.

his catch phrase thing always really confused me. I hate people who do that.
---

Yeah, but if he actually becomes a serious contender for president I'm going to hate him.

Do you like this person: The Rock

As a wrestler he iconic and I very much enjoyed his promos, wrestling and storylines back in the day. I still get chills when he makes the odd appearance now and then in wrestling.

As a actor I can't say I have any issue with him. Such as in The Fast and the Furious franchise he's great.

I didn't watch his run at the time and I don't like his current persona, but going back and watching some of his older stuff he's pretty talented. He's a decent enough actor, but he never seems to do serious roles and I'm not sure he could carry a drama. He seems like a heckuva nice guy irl from a lot of the stuff I've seen.

...overlooking that the Rock is himself a professional who put in the work.

I can detect the aroma of things he prepares in a kitchen

Uh. Hyperbole like this will only serve to discredit you.

I think he rocks.

He seems like an all-around fantastic person.

How is he not professional?
---

The only thing he fears is paper
---

I'm sorry, is the Rundown not the best movie ever? Because it's the best movie ever.
---

I want to like him and I try to, but can't. Indifferent.
---

I didn't like him when he started out a wrestler. Then he move on to movies, and i didn't give him any respect. (come on Doom!) But now that i have seen interviews and started to see how he's a really cool guy; i really like him and wish him the best.

also i really like to hate his movies, but he is a great actor. I feel like he will one day get a role that will win him an academy award.

So in other words the professional actor should let the professional actors do it instead?

OK...

It doesn't matter whether or not I like the Rock!

I didn't have strong feelings about him. But I loved Moana so I like him now.

Your Welcome!!!

Started off not liking him, but he just kept growning on me. Didn't really like Baywatch but I can't really blame him for that. Over all, I've liked more of his movies then disliked them, and he seems like a cool dude in real.
---

I didn't care for his wrestling persona, I don't like too many of the movies he's been in, but he seems like an alright person so I'll go with yes.
