Is he this generation's Arnold Schwarzenegger? How long until we get something as good as Predator or Commando?

heh

Arnold without the acting ability maybe

he is a caricature

he literally dropped the baton passed to him by Arnold so no, he's not.

That gun looks fake af. Are they even trying?

Arnold actually starred in some great movies

He's already given us this. Pure kino. The ridealong scene is better than all Arnie comedy.

I doubt he'll ever reach the heights of Predator because they don't let visionaries like McTiernan work in the increasingly myopic Hollywood blockbuster machine, but Fast Five is a minor action masterpiece in its own right, in large part due to Johnson who's never been better. (Except maybe in Southland Tales, but that's a different story entirely.)

>visionaries like McTiernan

McTiernan is a backpedaling faggot crying about American machismo nowadays

He's not known for anything other than being a wrestler and being a small part in some of the F&F movies.

I think Walking Tall is his best movie so far.

>The Rock is apparently some huge super star
>Yet hes never been in a good movie
HOW?

Fast And Furious

I don't care what he is nowadays, he doesn't make films anymore. I'm just saying that there's no one of his calibre working Hollywood blockbusters these days.

>Yet hes never been in a good movie

China

>I don't care what he is nowadays

of course you don't care, typical.

Literally putting this on now. It better be good.

everything feels forced about The Rock. Like he's always posing.

My nigga. If anyone knows where to get a decent quality copy of the cannes version, let me know.

how do you evaluate a good movie?

He's a wrestler.

Quick! Post some Rockkino
>Walking Tall
>The Rundown

>Is it a fast and the furious movie?
>If yes, it's not a good movie.
>If no, it's subjective.

San Andreas is better than Predator and Commando

>Arnold
>Acting Ability


Both Arnie and the Rock Wins Life by their absurd charisma

Pain & Gain (though desu he was miscast)

I liked Pain and Gain

>long until we get something as good as Predator or Commando

That age has passed on, user.

I don't get the Rock's appeal. He doesn't posses the natural charisma that Arnold does. He seems like he's just trying very hard to be charismatic.

Hercules is underrated.

lol no but it was enjoyable enough.

I really like Faster but im probably the only one.

Doesn't exist, all that's out there is recordings from when it was aired on European TV.

>He doesn't posses the natural charisma that Arnold does.
You are incorrect. The only major actor working in Hollywood who has the brand of movie star charisma The Rock has is Tom Cruise.

when a shitload of plebeians watch a movie that doesn't mean it's good.

That may be true, but the gun he is holding is fake.

He peaked early with The Rundown.

He jumped the Shark years ago.

>Is he this generation's Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Yes

>How long until we get something as good as Predator or Commando?

lol never. Sure he is "this gens arnold" but he is in movies that are pure shit and don't define any of their genres like many things Arnold did. Sure they comparable due to charisma ans muscle but that's really all... He isn't as intimidating as Arnold could be either since we all know at any second he might crack that stupid smile and say a lame one liner that comes off as slightly homoerotic. He is always "the good guy" and fails at changing up his shtick in any way same way Vin Diesel never progressed.

Arnold was in his 20's during his heyday of the 80's, the rock is 44 yrs old

He cant be worse than all the whiny liberals crying about trump.

At least he made great movies.

No, because he never had the hard R Predator, Commando, Terminator etc. part of his career and skipped straight to the comedy and meme role part of his career.

He's actually this generation's Jason Statham.

Arnold was born in 1947

but it is when you say it?

Yeah but look at it within the context of this "generation" being complete shit that relies on surface level attention whore style entertainment and it all makes sense. There will never be another true Arnold type because this modern media structure can't market someone like him without offending the precious snowflakes who are the ones dumb enough to still go to theaters.

The Rock is kinda gay which is why he's popular.

Can't speak for F8 yet but Fast 5-7 are legit fucking awesome action flicks the likes of which we just don't get anymore.

yes

I hate you and I hope you die a painful and slow death. The bait is too strong.

Is true.

But at least they established than a watered down sequel about cars is better than nu-star wars.

hmmmm why?

have you studied arts, cinema or something that gives you the authority to evaluate a movie professionally ?

Oh go fuck yourself. There will always be a place for this particular brand of over the top action. Fast and Furious perfectly scratches that itch.

Didn't Arnold have a buch of gay sugar daddies when he was young? I'd say he's a pretty gay as well.

>small part
Top kek you're a retard

The rock literally saved the franchise that was on life support

Go back to your reddit echo chamber dickhead, not everyone who has a different (superior) opinion to you is baiting

Every opinion you disagree with isn't "bait", you stupid mother fucker.

>Is he this generation's Arnold Schwarzenegger?
no. he is a supporting actor in the vast majority of films he is in.

Arnie is the leading role in the vast majority of films he is in.

>Rock
>Charisma

The Rock comes across as a tryhard in everything he does.

He didnt fuck them though. He just hung out with them and took naked pictures in exchange for cash.

As an 80s baby, I'll take this kind of stuff over "realistic" action movies like Bourne and Casino Royale any day. Not that they aren't good but I just love this kind of cheesy macho shit. Call it a guilty pleasure if you want, I love it.

...

Shit I thought he was born in 1962 my bad

Literally how did you think that?

i watched all episodes of RLM half in the bag.

Why did you include ?

I'll have you know that I am a Chris Stuckman subscriber and I've watched all of his videos.

Arnold played up the homoerotic part with Franco a little but he wasn't for real gay. But yeah he was sort of like a sex symbol for gay males around that time. They passed his training exercise videos a lot. I don't know if Arnie ever knew that though or what he thought of it.

Arnold The Bodybuilder did because pro bodybuilding is unironically extremely homosexual. But Arnold The Actor was marketed and portrayed as the ultimate male: tall, muscular, rugged, and 100% hetero.

The Rock just gives off a slightly numale vibe, like he's not allowed to or is incapable of playing off being alpha and masculine at face value. It always has to be either tongue in cheek or over the top.

Because I looked at his height on accident and saw 6'2. I'm hungover from easter

>This is my final week of shooting #FastAndFurious8. There's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one. An incredible hard working crew. UNIVERSAL has been great partners as well. My female co-stars are always amazing and I love 'em. My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't. The ones that don't are too chicken shit to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses. When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I'm not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling - you're right.

>Bottom line is it'll play great for the movie and fits this Hobbs character that's embedded in my DNA extremely well. The producer in me is happy about this part. Final week on FAST 8 and I'll finish strong.

What did he mean by this?

>Small part
He pretty much stole the show. I don't really like him but he has 100x more charisma than Vin Diesel

Now compare what it looks like to that thing he's holding in the op

>The Rock just gives off a slightly numale vibe, like he's not allowed to or is incapable of playing off being alpha and masculine at face value.
This is true if you've only seen the last two Fast and Furious movies and Central Intelligence I guess.

He doesn't have half of Arnold's charisma to be honest.

Well even as a bodybuilder he played the cold angle. But it was weird because he was super charimastic and jolly and always looked like a total bro but he also wanted to give off this vibe that even if you were his friend, he would fuck you up if you went agaisn't him and nothing would distract him from his goals.

The people in Pumping Iron actually wanted to make make him more "human" by having him be more emotional and maybe even cry. But he said that was gay and continued to be an asshole but also a bro.

No he isn't, he works in different roles. He's a better actor than Arnie, but has less charisma.

Also

>Commando
>good

come on now...

He's talking specifically about Diesel.

Calling it now: The Vin and Rock feud is all a work and they'll settle this once and for all at SummerSlam 2017.

Commando is fucking great, what are you talking about?

this was bretty gud

>he doesn't like Commando

stone cold > that shitter

Maybe he's not charismatic but he does have an overwhelming presence, he stole every scene he's in, just like Tommy Lee Jones in Cap Am.

...

No, there is really no replicating Arnold.

The Rock is just the Rock.

>"I am like getting the feeling of cumming in the gym; I’m getting the feeling of cumming at home; I’m getting the feeling of cumming backstage; when I pump up, when I pose out in front of 5000 people I get the same feeling, so I am cumming day and night. It’s terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven.”

Name one more kino quote that this.

>tfw you will never be a demigod cumming all day from everything

Vin is Mad because everyone likes The Rock more than him.

Commando is possibly the greatest action flick of all time

Too bad he's fat now and can't act.

sure buddy, that's exactly why the rock is no longer relevant and no longer getting roles

And announce they're working on a new Riddick movie together.

you probably think power rangers is great fucking television

The Rock is just kind of hamstrung by his nice guy persona. So even when he plays a bad guy he can never be all bad. He definitely could be a macho asshole if he wanted to though. He was the best at playing an asshole when he was a heel in WWF.

They're not compatible together in the slightest, that's why they had Vin go against The Rock in the latest furious shitshow.

I think the Rock is extremely charismatic but only when he's not in front of a movie camera, in interviews and other dumb stuff like the lip-sync battles he's really likeable.
That said, he still hasn't been in a good movie (I don't watch 5fast4fury)

He definitely needs a better stylist, or one at all.

Of all the slack-jawed faggots on this board, you take the fucking cake.
