Red One SUCKS & The Rock Is A CON MAN

[@mediamanjamessmith251]

Let’s not forget how much of a selfish backstabber The Rock is. He got his big break in Hollywood when Brendan Fraser convinced the filmmakers to cast ‘the part time wrestler’ as the Scorpion King in *The Mummy 2* to which he then got a spin-off that stalled the development of *Mummy 3* Brendan Fraser was removed from *Journey 2* because he spoke out against a producer’s despicable treatment of him (as well as his evil ex-wife divorcing him, believe that’s a can of worms). And who did the producer get to replace him? The Rock (which he would continue to hijack and assimilate franchises like F&F and the DCEU) And after Brendan Fraser got his comeback in 2022 with *The Whale* the Rock decided to post ‘how great his “brother” Brendan is, and how much he owes to him for his career’. If that’s the case, given his influence at the time, why did the Rock not help his “brother” and bring him back on *Journey 2* when he was blacklisted (while getting financially screwed by his ex-wife)? Edit: Couldn’t go into too much detail because of KZbin’s comment censoring and the comment is already long enough

The Rock is trash. When he tried to make his own universe around Black Adam, he (we) learned that he didn't have the clout in Hollywood to do it. I know you think he uses specific people to make films with...and you're correct but I feel it has more to do with these people being the only ones who will work with The Rock. Evans was in this for just the paycheck...arguable, most of the actors were. I think only the red headed guy who actually acts was in it for the role. It's a shame that films like this are put out into the word. They do nothing to promote (or progress) the craft of movie making, acting, or entertaining.

[@jpotter2086]

[@JacobPaul-ix7oc]

I suggest you research "Hitler and the Great German Art Show". Hitler held an art show with two adjacent galleries in the late 1930s. On one side was art from the artists he hated, featuring modern art which he called debased/degenerate art. On the other side was the traditional art, the Great German Art. The goal of this art show was to persuade the German population that the modern artists had ruined art and that the Nazis would redeem art. Compare that to today's "modern art" in TV shows, movies and videogames. And while doing so, understand that Hollywood has been promoting Marxist ideologies (which some call "woke", "Politically Correct" or "THE MESSAGE") as they continue to make overbudgeted products with low quality, ham-fisted ideologies and belittle at least half of their audience. Do you think modern Liberal Hollywood has debased/degenerated art? Or do you think they have made it better? Isn't it strange how "progressives" seem to be regressive when it comes to entertainment? Now let's go back further to the Roman Empire and what the Roman poet Juvenal called "Bread and Circus", a means for certain politicians to gain political power by appealing to the base desires of a population (food and entertainment). Do we see a certain "side" of the political establishment in the US doing anything similar? Like giving out food stamps to win support from certain demographics of people? Or specifically catering to a small, vocal minority of people on social media while foregoing well written scripts, CGI, directing, acting and overall quality in general? Do you know what brought an end to the Bread and Circuses? The appointment of an autocratic Emperor who removed all political threats. Sounds familiar, right? Did you know that #45/47 is a descendent of Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne via the bloodline of King John of England? (As were all of the US's "elected" Presidents. Only Ford, Nixon's V.P. who took over after the former resigned, was not a descendent of those men.) I now suggest you look up the following: Seven Mountains Mandate/Dominion Theology (Dominion, like the US "voting" machines.) US Public Law 102 dash 14 Seven Laws of Noah There are some "Yuge" changes coming in the very near future which many will think are for the better but will ultimately end very badly for the US in the end.

[@jsb2372]

Black Adam is so much worse than its own movie. Black Adam would be revealed in Shazam as a proper rival with superpowers comparable to Shazam. The Rock didn't want to be appear on the same level as Shazam and ruined two movies instead of one.

The Rock ended up inflating the budget because he would show up late for shoots and even miss days of shooting which would lead to delays on delays (I say that because I'm sure the strikes also had an effect on the budget). He also would pee in water bottles to save time. Not sure how that last one fits in but I felt like it needs to be mentioned

Back in the 90s the WWE Rock character was amazingly fun, but he thought he could keep doing the same character outside wrestling and it became less and less fun, the interaction with other wrestlers and with the audience was what made him good, now is nothing like that beloved character from the 90s.

My theory is that people like the Rock function like Adam Sandler does. A quick, heavy hitting Hollywood produced movie, starring himself and a close circle of friends and business associates, never meant to be good or artful or entertaining or even really successful; just meant to make the people who work on it money. It's a cynical take, but it's fully inspired by the cynical movies devoid of heart or creativity.

[@gimmeyourrights8292]

Adam Sandler can be fun when he actually tries. You never see that out of the Rock.

[@andrewdiaz3529]

​@gimmeyourrights8292 yeah, at least Adam Sandler's worst movies conveniently come out just in time to give his friends and co-stars big paychecks when they're strapped for cash

[@goodfella1401]

Adam Sandler actually has movies that people love where he's the only lead actor and has shown in the past that he's an amazing actor when he chooses to be. The Rock on the other hand has not one where he's the only lead actor and has less range acting wise than Arnold Schwarzenegger and Keanu Reeves. Just look at his biggest hits and what kind of character he plays. Jumanji has Kevin Hart and Jack Black with Dwayne playing The Rock, Fast & Furious series has Vin Diesel with Dwayne playing the Rock, Moana is an animated Disney movie with Dwayne playing The Rock.

[@williamhanna9718]

At least Adam Sandler knows his target audience loves dumb comedy and owns it. “I would like give a shout-out to my fellow nominees. Who shall forever be known as the guys who lost to Adam fucking Sandler!🤣”-his actual acceptance speech for an acting award

[@tiolloyd9555]

The difference is that Sandler actually has talent and only does this movies because he and his friends are all clearly having fun. The Rock only knows how to play the same character and only does these because he genuinely believes he's the hottest shit the world has ever seen

The director has zero power bro. The Rock’s production company Seven Bucks produced the film. He hand picked everything. He’s the boss.

[@Whoa802]

That honestly makes things worse, as it makes all of The Rock's failures as a movie star his fault rather than the result of the lack of good writers/directors present. He can probably hire anyone he wants to write or shoot for him, but The Rock seems to have such a bland, vanilla level of taste when it comes to movies so he only seems to want hire the most conforming, work-for-hire, yes men types on his team. Dwayne should honestly take a page from Tom Cruise and work to secure the best, most talented team of filmmakers he can put together for his works and let them take care of things rather than try to micromanage everything himself. That's what's kept Cruise on top for so long. Thee guy recognizes and trusts talent when he sees it, The Rock should learn to do the same.

Ive noticed how crazy it is actors get paid. Which makes NO sense. I think it started in the 1940s when the actor Claude Rains, who played the Invisible Man, was paid 1 million dollars. Ever since then, actors have steadily continued to get paid WAAAY MORE than they really should be. Like why are people who are just PRETENDING to be a character getting paid so much more than people who literally put their lives on the line? Or who are like engineers, scientists, doctors, etc.? At least I could understand why they would be paid more. But an actor? Why?

[@9l910]

Same reason why athletes also get paid more. Entertainment generates tons of money, a world in which nobody consumed Hollywood films would be one where actors get paid nothing - that won't happen in the foreseeable future though.

[@planetschlock]

I remember the documentary Jodorowsky's Dune and how Jodorowsky wanted to cast the artist Salvador Dali in his Dune movie and Dali only agreed to star in it if he was the highest paid actor in the world at the time (the 1970's). And his asking price was somethin like $4 million. 🤣

That's not to say that he was a saint or anything, but at least the Governator was willing to take more chances with his films and work with directors with actual talent and vision (Cameron, Verhoeven, McTiernan etc.) rather than just talentless hacks that just let their stars run the show for them. I remember a story about a time when Arnold got chewed out by James Cameron for being a couple hours late for the shooting of True Lies. Rather than talk back and argue with the director, however, Arnold instead took it like a man. When his co-star Tom Arnold asked why he didn't snap back at him, Schwarzenegger replied "Because he was right." Can you honestly imagine The Rock showing that type of humility?

@Whoa802 lol thats funny and could also be because most Europeans find being late extremely rude...island people on the other hand...lol

Bro, as someone who worked as a PA for a few projects, “We’ll fix it in post” is the most used phrase on set haha 😅

I at least liked JK Simons as Santa clause.

Why are we afraid to say "tax the rich"? It makes no sense. Like yeah. Tax the rich.

Calm down socialist scum

[@FilmmakerJ]

Well Shit. I was honestly hoping for a tongue-in-cheek, off the wall fantasy comedy. But if it's this insufferable, then I'll be avoiding it.

[@mickeyc.]

Avoid

[@stefanoagrimi8074]

You know that the more i know how "the rock" franchise work the more he look loke less the new Schwarzenegger and more a new Steven Seagall, but with better care for his look and health so explain why he lasted more

[@kennethclemons3415]

Thank you for your video and observation of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, greatly needed, 100% accurate, and you're NOT drinking the haterade despite what others say. Keep up the great work, bro.

[@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane]

It makes Santa with Muscles and Santa's Slay look like Mean Streets and Taxi Driver in comparison.

[@IAMBENNYBLANCO.]

So my million $ question is.... why would anyone call you a "racist" .... for giving your opinions which you have every right to voice???? Please explain this insanity.....

[@screenPhiles]

'Hate' is a pretty strong word to describe someone you've never met and who's only 'crime' is seemingly making crappy movies. And as far as working with the same people goes, that's kinda silly because directors like Mike Flanagan, Ridley Scott and many others do the same thing because it makes sense to work with people you know and are familiar with and had good experiences with if the opportunity presents itself.

[@davidnewman6527]

I think you're the most honest- no BS. This is why people don't go to movies.

[@AdonisNineteen99]

3 thousand subs so far... remember the OG's when you make it! 😅

[@petermatthews3729]

Kiernan Shipka played Sally Draper in Mad Men and now she's an adult who challenges herself as an actor with every different role, so she gives me more reason to watch this than the Rock does.

[@etacas1412]

I saw it, friday. It was on the screen. That's about it. The popcorn was good.

[@brandononbrand]

It's normal for Christmas movies to come out in November, even early November.

[@macabre_artist]

You can tell it’s bad when it comes out before CVS even unboxed the Christmas display

[@sparkleypegs8350]

The Rock is the same character in every film, he plays the Rock.

[@eldenr-y9c]

Your reviews are genuine and on point dunno why you have low subscriber's

[@BahamianKingGaming]

The rock in WWE so cringe now as well. He is to old now. Same as John Cena and undertaker. Just retire from the ring man. Take notes from triple h

[@JohnnyWorld]

This is a very good Christmas movie for kids. It's probably not for neck beards or clowns that make negative videos for views.

[@mickeyc.]

Okay Johnny, enjoy your slop

[@canderia]

He's not an actor, he's a content creator

[@zacharyneely]

Just subscribed, great review btw! That was a dope setup with the 2 contrasting lights behind you. Looking forward to your future reviews

[@Gravattack]

You want a man who called himself "The Rock" to show range and movement? It wasn't a nickname, it was a warning

[@hughallison4639]

Dwayne Johnson has become the current Hulk Hogan.

[@kaczynski2333]

Defamation is ballsy.

[@1stAC]

Does he actually wear aviators in most of the movie? That must have made it a nightmare for lighting logistics.

[@damianstarks3338]

Nice honest review of this new Christmas movie and The Rock

[@davidshaffstall8693]

But it’s an “instant Christmas classic”. The trailer told us so

[@MCat360]

The Rock is not an actor. He plays himself in every movie, and he’s so in love with himself that he thinks that’s what everyone wants.
