I've seen two films of Rock's this past weekend and enjoyed them both.

Hercules - an entertaining watch, some of the story elements I didn't focus too much on and tried to enjoy Rock's performance (which IDK, seemed a tad too humourous at times for a man who had such a legend about him?) but fun, anyway.

Snitch - Rock's performance was excellent IMO. He played the role down-to-earth, and you could resonate with his character and the predicament his son was in and wanting to help. I know it's based off true events (the federal law) but if this film story is true then damn, amazing bravery for the real-life John Matthews to supply the first dealer and go big for the cartel guy. The supporting performance of Daniel as the guy trying to go clean was good as well.

Holy balls, Rock already has a more lengthy filmography than I thought.

My favorite of his films is The Rundown.

Gridiron Gang beats out Walking Tall for me. Nothing else really factors in.

In this order:
The Other Guys - Best movie of them all, but the Rock's part was minimal

Snitch - Best of Rock's performance

Walking Tall - Walking Tall and The Rundown are the Rock playing essentially the same character. Walking Tall is the better movie overall. Even with Sean Williams Scott being a much better supporting actor than Johnny Knoxville.

The Rundown - Same as Walking Tall

Out of the ones I've seen I really like The Rundown, Gridiron Gang, The Fast Movies, and The Other Guys. I find a lot of the other movies on that list pretty enjoyable too. The only shit movies on that list that ive seen are Scorpion King and The Tooth Fairy.

Baywatch doesn't seem to be getting good reviews... but might do enough to pull in the money.

I've only seen six of these films. Grid Iron Gang was probably the best of them. Or the Rundown.

I ended up watching Journey 2 as it was on TV last night but made me think about Rock and his performances as an actor. How do people view him as an actor?

Box office numbers he's garnered are immense but they probably hide his ability as actor and his range is fairly focused these days but I really thought his performance in Gridiron Gang/Snitch were excellent, whereas his personality shines in family movies like J2.

I don't think he'll ever get nominated for an Oscar anytime soon but he's good at what he does and he knows that. Best to stick to that then diversify and end up getting panned (although Baywatch didn't pull up any trees judging from some reviews)

Watched San Andreas last night - fantastic visuals of the earthquake and Rock was solid as ever, but it seemed odd his character goes all out to save his wife and daughter (what would his employers have to make of it lol) and besides a few moments, there wasn't much inkling into the suffering wider than the main characters which would, considering the subject topic, been more pertinent.
