Is anyone else tired of this guy yet? How is he so popular?
DUDE NICE GUY WITH NO PERSONALITY LMAO
>no personality
Plz
>>70933479
looks like a genuinely nice dude. probably done some douchy stuff in his life like all of us, but i like to think he's one of the good guys in life
>He has the training and physicality for action-movie roles
>He has enough of a fanbase to open a movie
>No major scandals, I can't think of any reason not to respect the guy
>He's eager to work and capable of delivering lines with some level of charisma and basic acting ability
Honestly, he's the closest we've got to a proper old-school action hero/role model
how could you get tired of this

>>70933479
he comes off as an naturally nice guy who i would like to hang out with. So no, not really.
Yes, yes, well done Dwayne, well done.
HOWEVER
I still think he should be a bit more daring with some of the projects he chooses. He could be the modern day Arnie with couple of really good career choices.
And yes, before someone points it out, I know that Arnie did lots of shitty comedies and shitty action films as well, but he had gems like the Terminator movies and Predator. Dwayne Johnson needs something like those.

We all do, man. Those roles just aren't out there these days
for what it's worth, Pain & Gain was a surprisingly good movie, and you can see him in a more risky/dark role
>>70933614
But he came 20 years too late
>>70933479
>DUDE NICE GUY WITH NO PERSONALITY LMAO
wrestler so
>>70933681
Scorpion King was actually mad good. I remember seeing that shit for the first time when I was like 10 and absolutely loving it
>>70933479
>How is he so popular?
Charisma. But wouldn't understand since you probably like Cavill as Superman.
>>70933701
>let's be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian
shiggy diggy
>>70933681
Not his fault Hollywood ran out of steam
>>70933784
I know. I was a fan of wrestling back in his day.
Nowadays he just seems too generic. He's the nice guy who is actually a douche. Like, if you don't take off your shoes in his house, he's going to secretly be all pissed off at you, kind of thing.
>>70933957
How old are you, what is that projection. If you don't take off your shoes in another mans house you should be scolded like the animal you are. Common ducking courtesy
He hasn't even been in any really good action movies. Whether it's his fault or the creative team of the movies he is in, Rock doesn't have any unique characters aside from "Dwayne Johnson"
>>70934035
>auto correct still thinks I want to say duck
>>70934035
It's called an analogy. He seems like a guy who puts on a charade
>>70933479
You don't like steroid obama action man?
>>70933681
He's playing a villain in an upcoming DC movie
Maybe we'll check his acting chops then.
>>70933681
He literally played Hercules, what the fuck are you talking about. He is too swarthy to sell tickets like a proper lead in an action movie. He has to support because of it.
>>70934175
Like an actor? Imagine that. Are you brain dead? Why would he just walk around bring an asshole for no reason?
>>70933957
So he's a normal dude?
Lmao, you just sound jelly. Why don't you go to the gym?
>>70933479
He's a lowkey dude who is super humble and supports the people in his life.
He's a decent actor and he busts his ass in his films. He's popular because he isn't a shit bag but he's also a really charismatic guy.
>>70934255
that movie probably would've been pretty good, too, if it weren't for fucking Brett Ratner's shitty direction
>>70933521
/Thread
was hercules good?
>>70933597
He frequently talk about how he used to do kinda '' criminal '' stuff.
Nope, I have no problems with him. Lots of charisma and overall looks like a fun guy to be around.
>>70934380
it was okay. the script was good, and the acting was fine - the kind of hammy, over the top nonsense you want from an adventure film like that. but the action is mostly boring, because Brett Ratner is a very poor director. there's a couple of cool scenes, but most of the enjoyment i got out of it was from the character interactions.
>>70934367
Hollywood hasn't been capible of making a cool sword and shield action movie since lotr.
>>70934461
Warcraft is good.
>>70934381
Who hasn't?
>>70934472
Low quality bait
>>70934517
it's not bait. that movie is very enjoyable.
What was he cooking?
>>70934479
Us nerds
He's pretty bland. I was never big on The Rock. Impressive physique but he doesn't have sustaining charisma that he can carry over to all his films. That's the difference between him and, say, Arnie.
>>70933681
>Implying Southland Tales ain't better than any of those
>>70934644
>romanticizing Arnold this much
He had much better roles, but charisma is severely lacking for Arnold, if they came up at the same time the rock would easily outperform him. Not in the physique department though.
>>70934644
>he isn't white
fucking racist
>>70934743
>Arnold didn't have charisma
Go watch Pumping Iron right now you ignoramus.
>>70934743
>arnold lacks charisma
charisma is THE thing that carried him so far,
it wasn't the bloody muscles. Imagine Dwayne as Dutch from Terminator. It's fucking awkward
>>70934807
Oh the documentary? were talking about acting. And Arnold was still a bore in that movie, lifted weights talked shit to Louie posed for prisoners and tried to fuck underage girls, not exactly oozing charisma.
>>70934922
Do you have autism?
>>70934743
You're a fucking retard, fuck off.
>>70934878
It was the muscles, being 7 time mr Olympia will probably get you Hercules and into the action flicks of the time. You telling me you'd watch a skinny Arnold in those movies with the same enthusiasm? Nobody would
>>70934944
>>70934951
>triggered
Annie is literally the same guy in every film, deal with it.
>>70934977
You're forgetting that he was also a millionare real estate mogol. He started competing at 15, muscles are part of his personality.
>>70935016
Yeah, himself. He's an 80s John Wayne.
>>70935062
Nobody cares about his real estate, if he didnt have the most aesthetic body ever he wouldn't be as successful, the rock would and has
>>70934977
muscles got him into the job, and muscles helped his image a ton, but it was muscles + his immense charisma. There's a reason you can't name any other Mr Olympia winners that went on to become megastars.
>>70935082
The Rock is so irrelevant that he has no "character" in any film.
>>70935094
So you're saying that if the rock were skinny he would have also been a wwe wrestler which is what spearheaded him into action movies?
And do you think real estate sales don't take charisma?
>>70933737
Yeah Pain and Gain was an unexpected gem.
The Rock was great like 10 years ago.
Back in the days of films like Doom, The Rundown and the one where he beats everyone up with the plank of wood (I always forget it's name) he was tip top.
He has charisma and an actual sense of humor. If he'd kept like that he could have easily been the next Arnold.
But for some reason he threw it all away, got huge as fuck and that god awful tattoo, lost his personality and started playing a generic nice guy with no real charisma or sense of humor.
>>70935170
He was a pretty skinny wrestled when he was intercontinental champ and again after wrestling for a few films, nowhere near the size he is now. And who gives a shit about real estate, I've met a ton of them and car salesmen who were total faggots. The guy has charisma obviously but the rock eclipsed him in that area.
>>70935314
Did the rock have enough charisma to become the governor of the largest state by population in a foreign country?
>Hey anon, what's up? Just got out of the gym and thought I'd drop by to see what you're doing
>On the computer all day again you say? Shit, it's all cool but maybe you wanna do some new things, enrich your life, you know? The computer will always be there
>Tell you what, I got you a gym membership. The guys there are very professional. I promise you if you stick to it you'll see great results within a month
>Oh btw earlier these cuties were asking about me on the set but I told them they can only reach me through you so maybe you'll get some action
>And I asked around a bit, got you a job on my next movie project. It's nothing huge but it's a nice payday. Hey don't mention it, what are friends for right?
>>70935306
Walking Tall. He did make good summer flicks back then. Kept my 13 year old mind entertained.
Hes never been the star of a good movie after the rundown. Fast movies don't count, not the star.
>>70935351
>governor of California
Please, I guess George W. Puts Arnold to shame then.
>>70934574
I agree with you but Warcraft isn't well a sword and shield action movie.
Most of the big fights are done using guns.
>>70935385
>those movies he was good in don't count
Yeah it doesn't work like that
>>70935410
He doesn't have the track record of also being a millionare real estate mogol, seven time world champion of being the prettiest man on earth, being the john wayne of the 80s. But yeah, Geroge W. did become the Prime Minister of Austria, you're right. Good comparison.
>>70935453
Yes it does because he wasn't the star you fucking idiot.
>>70935432
i'm questioning your recollection of the film. they use guns, but considering all they have is flintlock pistols, they're by no means the primary weapon used in combat. there's a few shots of the human soldiers firing guns as they run into combat, but that's it.
>>70934234
>upcoming
>DC movie
>>70934234
Oh shit hes black adam, right?
Still i just want another rundown movie.
>>70933681
He does, though. Watch Southland Tales & Walking Tall
>>70935527
I remember a good portion of the second half was them running into battle with the flintlocks.
>>70933751
Too late for what?
>>70935612
it's literally one shot
i've seen the filmthree times, i remember it pretty clearly
>>70934461
Ironclad was pretty awesome. Not exactly hollywood, but they exist.
>>70935473
Becoming governor has fuck all to do with his acting ability, and more to do with his reputation and money. Romanticize all you want but the rock carried a corporation on his back for many years, because of his charisma. Arnold has charisma but his body had a lot more to do with his success.
>>70935368
T-thanks.
>>70933614
Man, how's his roid-taking actor ass meant to be a role model for anyone but aspiring fake-wrestlers?
>>70934644
>but he doesn't have sustaining charisma that he can carry over to all his films.
This roody poo cant smell what the rock is cooking.

Lou ferrigno would like a word with you.
>>70935705
Why would anyone have those as role models?
>>70935679
Fuck you Weevil
>>70935705
To be fair statham is 5'8 and his body could be natty. Stalone was too lean to be though.
>>70935705
>statham
>roids
Faggot
>>70935731
Because they are modern action heros. Why would any admire men dressed in costumes? Dumbass question.
How much of this thread is just disgraced /fit/ closet posting?
>>70933848

opinion officially forever invalidated
>>70935351
The Rock is 44, Arnold was like 60 when he became governor and already at the peak of his fame and fortune.
>>70935703
>You saw his return right?
No. Last time i watched wrestling was when the wcw still existed.
>>70935778
Why would I want some Calvin Klein yuppie for a role model? Do you think there aren't any more people in the world?

He's on gear, if you've spent anytime around athletes you'd know that.
>>70935848
OK well he lost all his charisma. Quite sad.
>>70935856
His body is unimpressive to be on roids.
>>70935851
Who the fuck cares about what you want, go play with your barbie dolls, if you can't see how people like Jason Statham is a role model to some people, then you literally have autism.
>>70935904

No, not at all.
>>70935904
Unimpressive? And why do you have that photo on your hard drive homo?
>>70935925
>some dude who gets paid to look menacing and talk tough in fictional stories is a role model
Again, why would he be a role model to anyone but other aspiring action actors? He plays roles, it's fake. Faker than American wrestling. The fuck would anyone want something they know is fake and doesn't exist as a role model?
>>70935946
What movie stars?
>>70935969
Aight, long as it's all good.
>>70935979
Idk
Statham is a manlet and weighs less than 200lbs. He is very unimpressive. I see bigger hunks at my local gym.

Jessie Ventura
The rock
Andre the giant
Hulk hogan
>>70935705
These are the last people I would want children looking up to for anything.
>>70936078
Who is Jessie Ventura and what movies has hulk hogan ever been in? Wasnt andre the giant fucking dead by the time the rock came around? Also what movie did he star in?
>>70936088
Why Arnold has been a world class success like 4 times over. Stalone became a star and film maker by the skin of his teeth off the Rocky script with nothing but confidence and faith in himself.
>>70936122
Are you fucking serious? How old are you?
>>70936122
You have to be over 18 to post here
>>70936163
23, never seen shit with hulk hogan and I have no idea who ventura is. I'm also not white trash so I never watched wrestling even as a kid and I made fun of the white trash kids who did. I wouldn't know who hulk hogan was if he didn't have a reality show.
>>70935904

Broest of the absolute bro, shit.
>>70936088
Would you prefer they looked up to, Hitler?
>>70936220
I understand that Hugh Jackedman has an albuterol as fuck looking body. If Statham wasn't so old he could be natty. But at his age I'd buy that he needs some help.
>>70936070

>>70936261
What, am I passing a law against it or something? You can have fictional role models all you want, I'm just saying you should aspire to be something that actually corresponds with reality around you and not some made-up world that is shown in fragments over an hour and a half.
>>70936274
Good, move out of the trailer park.
Landscape your dirt patch.
>>70936162
Arnold won the genetic lottery and has been cycling gear for the best part of his life.
Stalone is dumb as fuck.
Drug dependency and mumbling like a retard aren't exactly positive things for kids, yeah?
>>70936316
The actors themselves are real people. If you don't respect the force of will it takes to be a seven time world champion or believe in your script and instincts enough to gamble your life on it then you have no real passion.
>>70936349
>won the genetic lottery
>seven times in a row
>mumbling like a retard
He actually has nerve damage from birth with those hooks they used to use to pull babies heads out you know.
And yet he managed to write and star in his own movies by pure drive.
>>70936256
>albuterol
Top fucking kek, do you know albuterol is? You probably mean clenbuterol.
>>70936326
Go watch predator for the 50th time and pretend the wwf isn't and hasn't been profoundly impactful on Hollywood for the last 40 yearsJesse Ventura is in it. He was also a governor you know nothing faggot
>>70936369
Man, acting's just a job, and not a dangerous or crucial one. Any surgeon has to do shit that requires ten times as much balls as acting does daily.

Holy Kek, absolute pottery.
>>70936424
Please explain.
>>70936250
Yes, anon; those action heroes on the silver screen and Adolf Hitler are the only people who have lived.

>>70936452
Yeah but that's not what hot young snatch wants in highschool anon.
>>70936424
Actually both can be used as gear. But the insane vascularity of hugh is more indicative of albuteral than clen.
>>70936493

He's surprisingly decent but he seems like he can never turn down a role.
The one you should be complaining about is Batista. They should give all his roles to Rock.
>>70936565
More than your average nfl mlb star? Nigger please.
>>70936580
>It's the Rocks fault studios want to make more money by having PG-13 movies.
>>70936628
He could always write a screenplay for himself like stalone.
>>70933957
Take your fucking shoes off in the house retard.
Jesus.
>>70936641
He has his own show on HBO already. Also it took all those past 80s action movie stars to make expendables even a thing. Rock produces a action movie it would be Jason Staham tier at the box office.
>>70936034
Mac?
>>70936411
Your greentext doesn't contradict anything posted, you fucking manchild.
>>70936481
One is used as an alternative to ephidrine in a caffine stack for short term cutting to keep the metabolic rate higher while drastically lowering caloric intake, which naturally tends to lower metabolic rate. The other is used often with things like T3 and is basically like an ephedrine/caffeine/asprin or albuterol/caffeine stack but vastly more effective, dangerous and in a lot of countries, illegal. Clen will also get you banned from pretty much every professional sport.
You could say that albuterol cutting is kind of like a beer whereas clen based cuts are more like Scotch.
>>70936505
No you have no fucking clue what you are on about. The vascularity is more of an indicator of dehydration before the photoshoot than anything else.
