>highest paid actor

HOW did he get this far? I mean I know he has charisma and he looks bad ass, but he is a mediocre actor. He can't play anyone but himself.
>>
Only comedic action star. Statham was too serious. Chan is old.
>>
>>72033238
He's just a bretty cool guy
>>
He's a big guy. A throwback to the days of action films as they were.
>>
>>72033238
He's funny and competent in action. Watch 'Pain & Gain.' He's actually funny as hell with a good script and direction on top of being massive.
>>
>>72033394
>Watch 'Pain & Gain.'
Do not fucking watch that shitty movie
>>
>>72033238
He plays in every piece of shit they toss his way.

Yeah Arnold was a world class thespian when he was the highest paid too.

It's who puts asses in seats faggot.

Arnold has no charisma to speak of tho, rock is way better than him

unlike capeshit actors, you don't have to pay him to get fucking swole. he's already ripped as fuck mate
>>
>>72033238
Charisma and screen presence. The dude elevates the material he's given because of those.

When he says "stay the fuck outta my way" in Fast 5 you just knew he was business from the moment he got on screen.
>>
>>72033412
It was good though
>>
>>72033238
The wrock is basically an 80's action star with 21st century self awareness and humor in place of cheesy one liners
>>
>>72033238
He's the new Arnold, that's how. There's nobody who even comes closer to accepting the mantle.
>>
>>72033452
>Arnold has no charisma

You're a fucking dunce. Arnold was and is one of the coolest men to ever live

he has charisma but not wit

eighty's camp won't work in this day and age of whedon obsessed nu-males
>>
>>72033792
Supposedly he wakes up at 4 AM to train before working for the day and you know he trains like a beast.

He's a big inspiration for my workouts and gains.

Arnold has a weird charisma

I can't explain it but I can see it the most in True Lies

Funny that you mention Arnie because he literally passed Dwayne the torch when he was getting started.

The Rock's films are true kino, I'm glad he's getting the compensation he deserves.

This board holy shit

I hate you. The Rock was a part of one of the best eras in WWF history along with Stone Cold.

Yeah wrestling is "fake". It's scripted as fuck and they don't really hit each other but the athleticism of some of those dudes is impressive. It's entertainment bro. I bet you can't even enjoy a Fast and Furious movie for the stupid fun that it is, because that's what wrestling is and was.

Oh and tell me about how fake that Undertaker and Mankind Hell in a Cell match was.
>>
>>72033852
His lines are badass with just a nice hint of camp.

Good for Dwayne, he earned it for not giving up after Hollywood treat him like shit for years. Remember his Disney phase? Any lesser man would give up and return to wrestling full time. There was an infamous precedent, see Hulk Hogan
>>
>>72033238

The Rock is legitimately one of the most charming actors in Hollywood at the moment. Him and Tatum are both excellent beefcakes who have surprisingly apt comic timing.

The Rock also delivers a brilliant performance in Southland tales and a great one in Pain and Gain.

A lot of his movies are shit but he can almost make awful garbage worthwhile.
>>
>>72033758
He literally is nothing like Arnold
Arnold could make complete fucking schlock watchable and arguably good movie
The Rock is one of those guys that are in movies, I literally don't remember him being in any other movies that Pain and Gain, he probably makes most of the bank on playing shitty straight to dvd's movies for eastern europe
>>
>>72033238
Nice trigger discipline you fucking moon cricket.
>>
>>72034559
I was very pleasantly surprised with his performance in Southland Tales. He'd probably get more props if he bothered to take serious acting roles once in a while.
>>
Hercules looked like shit from the trailer.
>>
>>72034621
No
>>
>>72035832
It was.

>>72033238

I think Rock is getting more roles because the casting agents realized that he is only good in buddy movies.
>>
>>72033717
The real story would have made a great dark comedy but Michael Bay had to tard it up.
>>
>>72033238
Jason Bateman is a mediocre actor. The word you're looking for is "bad".
>>
>>72033238
He's actually pretty good, he certainly has a broader range than Schwarzenegger, that's for sure.

Not sure about highest-paid tho, his movies have been few and far between for a while now.

He is basically the new Arnie.
Remember when he lost a ton of weight and tried to be a "real" actor? Didn't work out too well. Then he bulked up and basically started doing silly action movies, and his career took off.
>>
>>72034547

How did Hollywood treat him like shit?

Don't know Dusty Rhodes?
Rick Flair?
Rowdy Roddy Piper?
>>
>>72036813

Who?
>>
>>72033238
He's a big guy for me and he's fun. I'd rather this swole, silly mediocre actor get the fattest shekels than a IRL retarded, serious mediocre actor like Cruise or Deppe.

Wooaahhhhhh this is a retarded opinion

Nobody cares about your obscure indie wrestlers retard fuck off.

I never understood what was the appeal of Flair, he looks like an aged out pornstar
>>
>>72033238
the gay mafia, and the casting couch.
>>
>>72033238
He made fun of other wrestlers and he was really good at it.
>>
>>72033452
Wow, this is a bad fucking opinion, even for /tv/.

>>72033852
This is almost worse. Arnold could be dry as fuck sometimes and it was great.

That's why.

That, and he's got lots of memorable quotes and sells his lines pretty well.

IT'S ME, AUSTIN!

He said Flair not Vince.

Because to be the man you've got to beat the man.

WOO

>>72037111
If you have the WWE Network, go back and watch the NWA Saturday Night episodes and just soak in his amazingness.

When Ric Flair turns up, the entire show feels important, the guy is a bonafide star, and you know his matches are just very good and he makes not so great guys look better than they are/should be.

The Game Plan
The Tooth Fairy
Race to the Witch Mountain
Minor roles on different movies

>>72033286
Statham is pretty damn hilarious when a script/movie calls for it (see: Crank)
>>
>>72033238
hes kind of unhateable at least to me. he plays the roles hes given and he charms the fuck out of them .shit him as the villain in doom was great.

>Bay had to tard it up
The IRL gang were a bunch of fucking morons though. Bay didn't tard it up, they didn't add any retarded elements to the story, just used things that really happened.

And how is it not a 'dark comedy?' The way that you're throwing out such a broad and vague term like it's a conclusive argument makes me think this isn't a conclusion you reached on your own. Did Red Letter Media tell you not to like the movie?
>>
Who fuck wouldnt like the Rock?

he isnt drug addict or drunk shit like most of hollywood. He isnt racist or pandering to anyone.

he is just genious man , hardworking like woking up at 4am. he is fit and shit.

my favorite current actor desu. Central Intelligence was also great movie
>>
If you don't like the rock you're probably a contrarian, a child, or a horrible person to be around in general
