If You're NOT a Fan of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, I have some very bad news for you

He has 5, count 'em, FIVE movies coming out this year.

Snitch, which is due out soon.
GI Joe: Retaliation due out in March
Fast and Furious 6
Pain and Gain with Mark Walhberg
Lore

And it's possible that a 6th movie may come out.

He's okay. He works best when he's paired with someone he can play off. Baitball Blogger Feb 2013 #2

He can be pretty funny. When my daughter was little we watched him on wrestling and since that was all acting there's no reason to think he can't do a good job at action roles.

And I have a standing rule that if you make my little girl laugh you're all right by me.

Johnson knows his strengths-- action, comedy, and any combination thereof. Vin Diesel thinks he's a serious actor and he's terrible when he steps away from the action flicks (and he really can't act either).

So that's my pointless contribution to this thread.

I was never much into wrestling, but when my friends dragged me in front of a TV to watch, I always liked THE ROCK.

I thought he was just another hunky looking dimwit, but found, much to my surprise, that he's quite intelligent.
