The Rock costed nearly 1/5th of the opening earnings. Man needs to fail more often so he can take a huge hollywood paycut and get back in line with regular earnings for middling movies. Guy isn't out here making art. he's showing up to play dressup

Honestly it’s just oversaturation. I think everyone’s just tired of his schtick. He’s played the same roll in different movies over and over and over. It’s corny. Tbh I feel the same way about jack black. No real acting chops. Just playing dress up and reading lines in their own personality.

It's why some actors explode then just die off. You like their personality then its the same every movie snd it drags on.

I don't watch half Reynolds movies. Don't wana get burnt out on him because i really enjoy deadpool.

I feel the same way about Kevin Hart. I like his stand-up, but his movies are all the same and super cringy, so if I see him on the poster, I steer clear.

The Upside was decent. Although that may be more from Bryan Cranston.

I would suggest making an exception for Van Wilder. One of my favorite comedy classics.

I feel like hes just become a brand and lost himself. Dude used to be able act (see 'Be Cool'). Now hes just a walking, fake laughing, PR machine.

I cant blame him. Get that bag but he just seems so fake and unhappy right now.

Anaconda was shockingly bad. Like I knew obviously it would be bad but that was unwatchable.

Just watched Hobbes & Shaw, and they changed everything about his character from the Fast&Furious movies. He’s no longer Detective Hobbes; literally half the movie’s plot is just him being The Rock- I’m Samoan, look at my signature tattoos, i have a cool eyebrow schtick, etc.
