The Rock by ManosTHOF	Sep 14th, 2006 02:09:30 PM
I'd like to see him succeed. He'll always be the People's Champ though ;)
Does anyone like his acting... by movieman742	Sep 14th, 2006 02:10:04 PM
because I don't. He has been in only 2 good moives, but not because he was in them. The Rundown, and Doom. The Rundown wasn't that good but I actually like it. Thought it wasa pretty funny with Sean William Scott and Christopher Walken doing some funny stuff. Doom was fun to watch. Knew going in it wasn't going to be a "good" movie but it was fun to watch. He needs to find an acting coach or something.
Always did like The Rock by Grendel745	Sep 14th, 2006 02:12:57 PM
Something about the man when he does interviews and such. Not just the charisma that he has but the fact that he seems to have a deep love for whatever he does. The part about celebrities and role-models makes me wish more celebrities had that attitude.
movieman742 by Lou C.	Sep 14th, 2006 02:24:24 PM
Yeah, actually I do think he's a pretty good actor. I thought he was terrific in The Rundown. I also thought Walking Tall had potential, if they made it about a half-hour longer and called it something else. Calling it Walking Tall and saying it was based on a true story really made it seem worse than it was. Because it wasn't that story at all. If they had just called it something else and gave the characters around him more depth, it might have had potential. But I think he's generally good in anything he's in. I just hope he continues to strive for better material.
i gotta say by occula	Sep 14th, 2006 02:31:01 PM
i really do like the rock. good guy, articulate, bright, focused, relatively skilled, and he's a positive role model if nothing else. good for him.
Gridiron Gang Bang by ImJustABill	Sep 14th, 2006 02:33:11 PM
Give me a break.. this one time wrestler can't act his way out of a wet paper bag... i have yet to see one movie of his that was worth 2 shits. Just go home Dwayne Johnson... Just go away!
The Rock rules by Toby___Wong	Sep 14th, 2006 02:54:03 PM
but I wish he would make some surprise appearances at some WWE shows. He is still the MVP of wrestling.
On his acting... by Childe Roland	Sep 14th, 2006 03:02:08 PM
...I saw flashes of potential in The Rundown, but he is absolutely the best part of Be Cool. His performance in that is funny and nuanced. He got into that character (gay cowboy, in case anyone didn't see it) and inhabited probably the only watchable scenes in that film. He also demonstrated a real flair for the comedic in his Saturday Night Live hosting stint. I don't think he's a great actor, but he could be a suprisingly good one who's typically fun to watch. It's early in his career yet.
the Rock always comes into Best Buy here in Ft. Lauder by future help	Sep 14th, 2006 03:14:50 PM
-dale...and buys pretty cool CD's.
The Rock is great... by SG7	Sep 14th, 2006 03:16:05 PM
...now make another Scorpion King movie. That was an awesome b-movie summer blast. We need more like it.
Gridiron Gang = The Rock's attempt to get an Oscar by Bean_	Sep 14th, 2006 03:55:10 PM
Not gonna work.
The Rock is the best actor by leesheri	Sep 14th, 2006 03:56:57 PM
to come out of Wrestling. Hands down.
"The part about celebrities and role-models makes ... by grosshair	Sep 14th, 2006 03:58:18 PM
... me wish more celebrities had that attitude." Yeah me too. And adults in general. :)
Really great guy by DeCypher44	Sep 14th, 2006 04:01:55 PM
Every time I see or hear him in interviews, he always leaves me inspired. Honestly. And I wish more entertainers shared his attitude about responsibility. It's refreshing to hear.
nice attitude and being positive by SnakesOnABicycle	Sep 14th, 2006 04:18:42 PM
does not make you a good actor, or even action star. theres just something about the guy thats off. maybe its the vanderbeek sized always shiney head. maybe its that he cant seem to find or deserve a decent vehicle for his so called talents. its not even so much one thing, its just the guy doesnt have "it". arnold had it. sly had it sometimes. segal and even van damme had it. maybe "it" is a hint of danger. and i think every piece of shit the rock's been in, he just comes off like a teddy bear. he doesnt do anger or the 'im gonna kill you' death stare well. kill someone in real life rock, then you'll have my respect. maybe one of those kids.
FIRST!!!!! by brycemonkey	Sep 14th, 2006 04:32:04 PM
Oh, wait... massive delay... not first at all... must... kill... myself.
Rock's best performance = Scorpion King by brycemonkey	Sep 14th, 2006 04:36:15 PM
Although he isn't terrible in Be Cool, Childe. He's still at his best when stripped down and kicking the shit out of anything that gets in his way. Of and leesheri: check out a little movie called They Live to see the best performance by an ex-wrestler. The Rock's acting is better than Hulk Hogan's though. Brother!
And what is the Rock cooking? It smells like... by brycemonkey	Sep 14th, 2006 04:38:40 PM
Gym.
"arnold had it. sly had it sometimes. segal..." by Childe Roland	Sep 14th, 2006 04:53:53 PM
"...and even van damme had it." It was at that moment that the talkback quietly began to collectively question the poster's credibility. Some of us wondered if, perhaps, he was putting all of us on.
I hate how this has become it's own genre... by DanielKurland	Sep 14th, 2006 05:05:58 PM
And maybe I'm just being cynical, but the whole "coach of a rag tag inter-racial football team overcoming adversity that is based on a true story" is getting incredibly tired. They're all virtually the same, and I really can't see why there is such a demand for them. I suppose the same argument can be made for other types of films, but all of these are so specific and seem almost identical. I guess I'm biased, but does anyone else agree with me, and is sick of these?
I don't care by Nicholas Rage	Sep 14th, 2006 05:09:51 PM
what you haters think. I like the Rock. No he's not the best actor, but he is a lot of fun to watch. The guy is incredibly down to earth. I wish him much success.
No Spoiler Warning!! by monorail77	Sep 14th, 2006 05:33:45 PM
Thanks, morons. I don't know anything about this story, true or not. Now I know plenty. Sure, I'm a moron too, for reading, but I kinda forgot until half-way thru the questions. Yep, I'm an idiot, but if there'd been a spoiler box around the link, I would have stayed away entirely.
the easy answer to not using other's questions is... by s0nicdeathmonkey	Sep 14th, 2006 06:44:14 PM
to now write a transcript. rather, you should WRITE AN ARTICLE...you know, like real journalists do.
Childe Roland by SnakesOnABicycle	Sep 14th, 2006 08:28:48 PM
Oh come on! Above The Law, Hard To Kill, Marked For Death, Under Seige, early Segal!? Bloodsport, Kick Boxer, Hard Target Van Damme!? Double Impact two for the price of one Van Damme!? Rocky Sly!? Terminator Arnold!? ..... You're right, I should say I was just joking... Too bad I was not. - I do however agree with crayotic in that there hasn't been a movie to utelize his cocky wrestling persona. He wouldn't even need to be the bad guy, but that might help.
WHAT'S THAT HARRY ANIMATION SUPPOSED TO BE?! by Osmosis Jones	Sep 14th, 2006 10:29:09 PM
Is that the 50's version of The Fly?
Lawnmower Man by Catalyst007	Sep 14th, 2006 10:55:02 PM
that S. King movie from the early nineties
Lawnmower Man by Catalyst007	Sep 14th, 2006 11:07:26 PM
sorry, i was answering you Osmosis Jones
why didn't you ask any questions about Phil Joanou? by beamish13	Sep 15th, 2006 01:08:25 AM
I would've liked to have read The Rock's thoughts on him...
If this guy doesn't get to play DOC SAVAGE... by Bob Cryptonight	Sep 15th, 2006 01:17:26 AM
...then there is no justice in the world!
The People's Eyebrow!! by BilboRing	Sep 15th, 2006 03:17:59 PM
Loved the Rock in WWF. Very charismatic and he seems very down to earth and real. I am really looking forward to seeing him as the next big action star. Arnold made the transition from weighlifting freak to Terminator/Barbarian. D. Johnson can do it too. Cool guy.
