I think he's got charm in bucketloads, but he's obviously decided he wants to make films that make money rather than films that are good. He's probably the most bankable star in Hollywood right now: his films may not be good but they sell.

Also, I really liked Jumanji, despite going in thoroughly skeptical.

I do love the Rock, he was bloody awesome in that Jumanji sequel. He is great in Rampage too. And he is very good in Doom (best thing in it in fact)

He doesn't do the same films as Arnie as those films are all but gone. A mainstream adult action film is hard to get these days. If he was in John Wick 3 or A Quiet Place then he'd be tested and hopefully get a chance to show more range.

He makes very enjoyable films and Hobbs and Shaw looks like a film that the 10 year old me would have watched on repeat until the VHS broke.

Also if he finally get to play Black Adam in Shazam 2 then it'll show his true talents as he has wanted that role forever.

That’s true, it’s hard to compare 80s Arnie to 10s The Rock as the movies are so different.

I know he's supposed to be the modern-day Arnie (pfft, I scoff at thee!), but Arnie was in some stone-cold (excuse the pun) classics like Terminator, Predator, Conan, Total Recall, Jingle All the Way etc, whereas The Rock just seems to be starring in one CGI explosion-fest after another.

Moana
Jumanji
All the F&F films he's been in
GI Joe Retaliation (seriously)
Gridiron Gang
Any cheesy disaster movie he's in

He's also really good in Ballers.

Can someone give me a hand here I'm struggling to understand the plot of this film.



The plot seems to be they're sending death row prisoners into a black hole and I can't work out why?
The prisoners are doomed and have no incentive to tell anyone anything about the experience even if they do magically survive and end up on the other side of the universe or they will gain super powers and then you have super powered criminals so yeah, that seems a bit stupid.

Just send bloody probes or volunteer scientists, sending convicts makes zero sense :slol: .

A group of criminals serving death sentences are sent on an alternative energy finding mission in space to extract energy from a black hole. Each prisoner is treated as a guinea pig by Dr. Dibs, who is fixated on creating a child through artificial insemination, but has yet to find success. Sexual activity between prisoners is prohibited. The ship is equipped with "The Box", a device obsessively used by the crew to masturbate. The only celibate prisoner, Monte, rejects Dibs' frequent sexual advances. Monte is serving a life sentence for killing his friend over his dog as a child. Monte's only friend on the ship is Tcherny, who is drawn to the garden because it reminds him of Earth.

As the ship nears the black hole, the ship's captain, Chandra, cannot handle the increase in radiation and has a stroke before being euthanized by Dibs. Pregnant prisoner Elektra dies along with her newborn infant. One night, Ettore attempts to rape Boyse, but the rest of the prisoners are alerted by her screams. Monte throws Ettore off of Boyse and ruthlessly beats him, but stops short of killing him. Boyse's cellmate, Mink, kills Ettore. Dibs begins doubling the amount of sedatives each prisoner receives. She later sneaks into Monte's cell and rapes him while he is sedated. She injects his semen into Boyse, and she produces a healthy child; Monte is unaware that it is his.

Will Smith no longer makes good movies..... (I'd argue he never did but anyway)

He needs to fire his agent fast

I haven't read the full above debate about The Rock but I can only assume it's about whether he is amazing or awesome and people can't decide which one it is?

The internet may explode when the trailer drops in the coming weeks. Only good thing is it'll replace the sonic anniversary gig as the worst sonic thing to ever happen.

Which one to watch...

(The correct answer, it turns out, is ‘neither’.)
