What went wrong?

People don't need dumb bodybuilders in their movies as much nowadays.

Fuck body builders. I work 40 hours a week and have a drinking problem. I dont have time to do that shit.

He is the next Arnold. It's just people are nostalgic of Arnold's old movies to realize they were shit.

Go ahead and quote something the rock has said in a movie. Quote one of his memorable lines that you can say in a room full of strangers and 90% of them will know exactly who you are quoting.

Hardmode: don't say his 'can you smell what the rock is cooking'

The dude hasn't actually been in anything worthwhile where he stood out as a strong and memorable lead.
>>
But the Rock's better than Arnold
>>
>>63449557
The Rundown is better than any post-True Lies Arnie film. Also Walking Tall and Faster are great.
>>

Times changed.

Arnold was the right man at the right time. We can all thank Reaganism for all those 80's action classics.

All those stars struggled through the 90's, with some hits and some bombs for all of them.

When The Rock transitioned to the big screen in the early aughts, it was already over. He did find his place as AN action star after a break in the mid-aughts. Glad he' back but nobody's ever going to be "the next Arnie."
>>
>>63449820

Name one quote from any action character from the last 10 years that is memorable in any way.
>>
>>63449557
Hollywood doesnt make movies like that any more

Whenever I see Dwayne Johnson in a movie hes either some overly serious "badass" or a complete joke, his best performances to this day are in WWE

Arnold struck the perfect balance between badass and funny
>>
>>63449557

He takes every single role they give him. He's just a reflection of the shit he agrees to star in.

He's not lead role material. He was great as a supporting character in Pain & Gain while everything else with him in the lead has been shit.

Beginner lifting routines require less than an hour of gym time a mere 3 days out of the week. These programs can last 6 months or longer.

Intermediate routines require a little over an hour and, depending on the program, 3-5 days a week.

No excuse, son.

GOAT Rock movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMt9hDRofws
>>
>>63449557
his career is going from strength to strength and he probably is yet to even peak as an actor

but he's not the new Arnold. there is no new Arnold. There never will be. Arnold is an one-off anomaly who is the sole occupant of his very own category, for better or worse

DJ can at least act. Arnie can't act for fuck, but no-one cares. No-one wants to see Arnold act, they want Arnold to come on screen and just be Arnold, regardless of the plot/script

People want variety from DJ, not just to come out and be The Rock
>>
>>63449557
Gay as a window, it was the worst kept secret in wrestling and now in movies as well. hollywood are still reluctant to push a cocoa shunter as an A-List leading man, especially if he refuses to come out of the closet, as he's afraid it will hurt his "brand"
>>
>>63450156
I honestly don't think so. Body builders are just super autistic. lee priest is one of the greatest and he seems to have kept it simple. Dude loves kfc


Anyways the Rundown is a dope ass comfy movie and there was a more recent one based on a true story where he has to save his twink child from prison that he did well in

These guys are full time body builder. It takes a lot of dedication to eat yo meals 7-10 times a day (depending on off season or not)

Watch the kai greene documentaryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyICPcBKEDk

its literally eat train sleep PR/ sponsor stuff and repeat.

He can still get there. He just needs to pick his roles better. Do more solo action films, preferably R-rated.

Too obvious Dwayne is selling a character.

As charismatic and charming as "the Rock" is, it gets a little too obvious, or fake.

It gets real obvious when he's selling his "hard" character who also happens to be super kid & family friendly.

just too fake
