Poll of the Day > why is the rock in so many movies?

(+) Yeah! (+)

it's not even like he makes your movie a blockbuster success in the modern age is it?

i mean how many people expect Jumanji And Rampage to be critical hits just due to the rock
---

Because of many mens inner closetedness, they see his big muscles and go uuuhhhhhh.
---

They keep paying him.
---

He is a big name, and probably works cheaper then most other actors

I'd hardly call San Andreas "horrible." Financially, it did well. Well-enough that San Andreas 2 is in the works.

so what did people like about San Andreas?

cause by that account it makes it seem like if you make stuff explode people will throw oodles of cash at you

I heard in the soon to be released gtav for pc you can play as the rock

That Geostorm movie was a major bomb domestically so nah.

is the rock just some sort of charismatic actor or something? because I'm just not seeing it
---

He shows up, looks good, and doesn't piss anyone off.
What's not to love?

You don't need THE BEST ACTOR EVER to play the main role, sometimes you just need a body that looks good, and is fine at acting.

he's okay at acting but he's not someone You'd pin your hopes on unless you didn't really care about the quality of the film because The Rock's Mere Presence would make it seem cooler to the average person
---

he's likable and funny. he's not gonna save a shitty movie but he's fun to watch.
---

You seem to think that every movie should be made to be the best movie ever, no questions asked.
That's not how this works, sometimes you just need to make a movie.

not the best movie ever but it shouldn't be a movie that seemingly only exists to boost one man's profile
---

It's not, it's there to make money from people who just want to watch a movie, whatever movie.
You see The Rock, and you think, "this won't have random sex scenes" and then you pick it up.

You got it backwards buddy, the rock is there to boost the movies profile.

what good quality movies has the rock been in?

it only boosts the movies profile if it was such a stinker that a casual magnet like the rock would be a good pick

You know, I actually didn't dislike the Doom movie all that much. The only thing that really annoyed me about it was that the monsters weren't demons.

Fast Five was pretty good when they retooled the series, Snitch wasn't bad, The Rundown was a funny movie when it came out. Hercules was decent viewing. Central intelligence was funny, his character in The Other Guys was hilarious. And for the second sentence, nah, that's just wrong.

Sounds like you just dislike the Rock so it really doesn't matter what other people say.

So, you're saying you don't smell what The Rock is cooking?
---

I think it's because of the fact that, at some point, he made the decision to do something with his life.
---

hes popular, hes got muscles. and I guess what some would consider a pretty face. its pretty much that simple.

if what I heard is true though im upset that apparently he won't be playing black adam in DC's planned SHAZAM movie. can't really think of any other actors as good for the role other than maybe voice. I remember him saying he really wanted to do that role too.

its possible new info came out I haven't heard about to. I tend to not follow hype trains on anything. I don't see why black adam wouldn't be in the shazam. or why they'd make a movie about black adam without shazam. BA is the villain and Shazam is the hero. only way I can see it, is to give him his own movie first to build him up, and learn his backstory since hes not just a simple villain but more along the lines of the opposite of a anti hero. anti villain I guess? still loved it in the powers of shazam comics when he killed this CEO because he saw the employees protesting, and he was utterly confused as to why everyone ran in terror instead of applauding him for putting a end to a supposed tyrant/slave driver
