If ever there was an actor who needs to fire his management and agent it's the Rock. At one time he actually looked poised to become the next big action hero. Now he's a joke. The shame of it is he's good on camera and has screen presence. He's never going to win an oscar, but he should have followed in the footsteps of Sly and Arnie.
 
I agree how do you go from this <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/qm8vVSUnUWs?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/qm8vVSUnUWs?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

I beg to differ. Arnie had his share of "not so bad-ass" roles as well. Have we not seen Kindergarten Cop, Jingle All the Way, Junior, Twins & Batman & Robin. Yet people still think of him as the bad-ass-buff-guy from The Terminator & Conan & is still considered one of the best action movie stars ever; despite him having portrayed roles that some would consider a 'joke'.

So I wouldnt count The Rock out just yet. I think its cool, that he has gained a fanbase consisting of many different age groups. From the Disney/Nick stans, the wrestling fanatics, to the action movie junkies, The Rock has caught the attention of many different demographics. So I personally wouldnt say he's out of the runnin to become the next big action star. He's just tryin his hand at many different roles & seems to be enjoying himself in the process!
 
Hot Toys Black Dynamite FTW!!! :chew

Ah-nuld had safely established his action film career, so I don't think Astar's comparison is quite the same for the Rock.

Johnson's next few films all look like straight out action films, so hopefully he'll have a decent hit and he can then get on a big franchise.
 
Black Dynamite! :lol I still havent even seen that one

Edit: Probably gonna go rent it just watch the trailer it looks amazing :rotfl "you're so righteous!" "this is also true" :lol

Sure, Arnold did show up in several "family" movies. But, for the most part, his entire career has been based on action films, and that's what everyone remembers him for. Terminator, Conan, Total Recall, Predator, Commando, Eraser, End of Days... and the list goes on. Dwayne Johnson, on the other hand, has a filmography where roughly half of his movies are family-based stuff, and as such, much of his fanbase is comprised of tweenie Hannah Montana fans and their suburban soccer moms.

I'm sorry, but if The Rock wanted to be an "action star" then shouldn't he have starred in "action" movies? He really needs to turn things around, for mature movie-goers to take him seriously.
