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 TH-cam’s comment censoring and the comment is already long enough
Not in the slightest. I only watched his other “red” movie because it was the first iteration and I thought it might be good. Most basic, trope & cliche filled movie I’ve ever seen. It was actually somewhat funny until those things overpowered the comedy.
Oh. As soon as I recognized The Rock's face when the first ad I saw for it came on, I knew it was Joever...and that's why I didn't know this movie was called "Red One" until now.
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.
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.
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.
@JacobPaul-ix7oc I love how the original comment was, "I don't think the Rock makes good movies," and you responded with a rant about your political views.
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
That would be forgivable if he actually put forth some effort and did something worthwhile or interesting. I love Keanu Reeves but he's almost stiff as a board as an actor however he played to his strengths doing films like Speed, Point Break, and John Wick and the effort he put into John Wick really shows on screen. The Rock would never work that hard on a movie. He just walks around in front of a green screen acting wry and mildly "witty".
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.
The Rock is like Vince McMahon but less creepy and evil in that you never get to see or even hear the real Dwayne Johnson on camera. No you get PR Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson that makes Jimmy Fallon's fake laugh look authentic.
Also the fact that this film was shot and filmed 2 years ago! And the controversy that arose from the rock being a diva behind the scenes by always showing up late, pissing on bottles, and has a contract where he'll never lose a fight to anyone on screen
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 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
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.
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
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
as a wrestling fan, he's never my favorite back in his prime anyway. John Cena and Batista will always be the better wrestlers turn actor anyway. glad more people realized that he's a fraud now.
They just didn't culturally trust people who made a living out of "lying" as they saw it when greek theatre began. An ancient greek cultural perspective on actors misunderstands what acting even is But in the rock's case this is fair
I wish you had kept the Rock videos up, they were great. I think his days are numbered, especially when Moana 2 flops (it might do well initially, but I'm predicting a big drop off, and bad reviews from fans and critics). He and Jack Black just need to go away and retire.
Came here for The Rock slander, stay for the Man of Steel appreciation. It's pretty rare so much appreciated! And please do make a video of The Rock! I just found your channel and would love to watch it.
Dwayne in every single of his movie: "Let's kick some ass. 🤨" "Yes yes I know I'm huge, and I'm gonna kick your ass. 🤨" "Let's save the world. . . . . and kick some ass. 🤨"
Your Dwayne Johnson video was one of my favorites. Still lives on in my heart. Even if I don’t agree or care about something, I respect the passion. I’ll admit, I liked his gimmick before he started marketing products. I will watch “Tearing down the People’s Champion, Part 2”
I stop messing with Dwayne Johnson/The Rock, after he said yes to doing Hobbs & Shaw. If he hadn’t said yes, The Fast Saga could’ve ended perfectly and earlier and I LOVE Fast & Furious! So, when he came back for the Fast X post credits scene I didn’t even care. I don’t like Fast 8 no more because I feel like he has more screen time than Letty and is billed before her😒 Fast X / Fast 10 has heart but that’s just my opinion
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?
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.
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 like asking why a miner who works 12 hours days gets paid less than his boss who sits on his ass in another continent. That's capitalism at work
Why don't people understand that actors are paid to deliver other people's words? Consequently, they cannot be trusted, because there's no way of knowing when they aren't being paid.
@Kingdomcome120 he's in the union so what's the difference, but what do you call De Nero? Why so offended by the truth though? I said nothing disrespectful, I merely stated their chosen profession's function, compared to reality.
also i wonder if the other acting is bad because they were all fuming about the rocks lateness and general attitude, saw something a while back he just takes the piss and leaves everyone else to suffer on set doing nothing but wait for him to show, i probably wouldn't be giving my all to his movie either honestly
Bro this movie has all the stereotypical “guy stuff” tropes from like 10-20 years ago. It’s so over the top and senseless that it genuinely feels like a Fast & Furious Christmas movie. And I’m sorry, but I don’t buy Chris Evans as a tough guy.
The guy Is ridiculous, he has a no lose clause in his contract. All of his movies are so predictable, especially when you know about his contract. That basically tells you how the movie is going to end.
its not an xmas movie with rock in it...., its a rock movie with xmas in it. its horrible.theres no family element to it,they compleetly skip over the family element. its like they didnt have enough story to make a movie, and not enough xmas story to make an xmas movie, so its neither. its boring,jk simmons has no warmth or jolly to be santa, the scene where theyre both lifting weights compleetly destroys the sense of him being santa. the krampus is a pretty obscure xmas character for most people,and deffinitely kids..., gryla is even more obscure. i hated that i wasted the evening watching this. this is chris evans worst acting performance ive ever seen. its funny how rock gets "jeffrey epstein vision" at the end. do not bother watching this movie.
I swear The Rock is getting worse every year. We are all sick and tired of Dwayne Johnson right now. This movie is one major reasons why today’s movies suck.
You wanna know something funny? I was willing to give this movie a chance and see it when I saw Chris Evans and JK Simmons were in it, I thought it would be like that Santa Claus action movie that came out last year. But when I saw it had The Rock to lead or just simply be in it? My excitement and willingness dropped like a can of hot lava in my hands. That much I despise his stiffness. Btw, I’ve heard rumored that he only wants to look do-good in movies just because he wants to run for presidency one day. Yeah, that nutty.
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.....
I thought it looked lame watching the trailer and your review confirmed it for me. Thanks for another excellent review. Would love another Rock review.
I feel so bad, becaue i remembered watching those videos and i haven't rewatched them in full so I was confused for a while until i heard you deleted them because of the backlash. I wish i could find those haters and say otherwise because it's clear they had no sense of respect whatsoever.
I have an idea for only movie that will save Rock's career. Enter "The Boulder", a mocumentary where Rock plays a retiered wrestler who mentors the protaginist, the titular "Boulder", into wrestling and Hollywood stardom.
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
I do think the Rock as a person is charming (I do find his story of him overcoming depression pretty inspiring), but ever since Journey 2 The Mysterious Island ( remember that?😂) it’s like he realised what sells and by this point is fully numb and cynical. All of these films feel the same. Other than maybe Jumanji: The Next Level, Jungle Cruise and parts of Black Adam, there is just no passion from him. Especially since Rampage/Skyscraper. I think what really turns me off is that part of his contract where he cannot lose ( Why do you want to play Black Adam then?). That’s just you portraying an image, your not acting or even performing. I am exited for the sports movie he’s gonna do with one of Safdie bros though. That could be the fresh update he needs.
Oh it's a movie about Battlebots, why does this trash keep getting made exactly, especially with the name of a music producer as it's title, it's hard to take it seriously.
That’s the main thing I dislike about The Rock. Bro can’t help but do product placement for every little thing. Always pushing his liquor and energy drink. He can’t have one human interaction without needing to advertise one of his products.
My kids want to see it...they had a free preview at the movie theater on base (lucky we missed it because of my daughter's nutcracker practice.) I'll agree to moana 2 because it's just his voice and he's a bit better but not live action the rock... I'm sorry I can't.
I was disappointed when you mentioned that you deleted the Rock videos.. I would love to watch those. Personally I haven’t seen the movie and don’t plan to, but the reviews themselves have been entertaining. I loved The Rock in the early 2000’s WWF, but when he went full Hollywood my interest not only dropped but I started disliking everything he does. However, his latest iteration of “The Rock” with WWE being “The Final Boss” is quite good.
Ha! I can safely say the only 2 Rock movies I have seen are The Mummy Returns and San Andreas….. that’s cause I have always LOOOOVED disaster movies…. Thankfully he’s never been in the particular “genres” I have in interested in…. Also Chris Evans is such an insufferable goblin in real life….. can’t see the general public being interested….. and all his dialogues sound like a mid 2000s American sitcom…. ….. HEY MICKEY! Long time no see!
You know I actually agree with you on that one. When I first saw the trailer for Red Ones I just didn't care much about it, To me it felt like one big advertisement. It never felt like a movie, It felt like a giant advert. Even though he may be called the rock he's not flexible enough to do something cool and awesome, I think his days are already over. Perhaps it's time we should give it to someone else, I know the Rock wouldn't but his movies are starting to get more and more generic and bland
Bro I’ve been saying this for years. He is one of the most ONE DEMENTIAL ACTORS in Hollywood. He’s the same in every film he’s in. I’m tired of him playing The Rock in every character he portrays. Also hate how he hijacks everything he’s in. Especially coming into franchises with his ego and thinks that he can make changes to not only his role, but everyone else’s. He’s annoying….I’m glad people are starting to SEE IT!
100% spot on about the Rock. He's never made an iconic movie. At best he's got maybe 2-3 ok movies. He's the Russel Wilson of Hollywood. Boring, lame, cringe.
The Rock monster is just a one note actor. The same performance in everything he has done. Finding out that he is full blown MAGA is really a turn off.
I feel like the inevitable failure Moana 2 (and yes, it will fail because let's be honest, it was a last minute decision to go to a theatrical release and is going up against Wicked), I'm absolutely positive that he's going to be in the Royal Rumble... Although the point about covering The Rock's tattoos, that's something that probably can't be done, especially his tribal tattoo that's on his pectoral muscle and down his arm, since those are deeply engrained in Samoan and Polynesian culture, basically you can't cover the tattoos on the left side of his body given that side is so culturally significant, while the right side of his body can absolutely be covered (especially the current version of his Bhrama Bull tattoo, as it looks horrible)
The Rock still don't get it that the people hate him because he is not portraying a movie character, but just himself. The audience just sees him as The Rock wearing a costume. Even if he switch roles and he plays as Drax, viewers will just see him as The Rock simply wearing a green paint and not Drax
Do not forget the rock failed so bad in black adam that he got a big role in Endeavour (WWE) and the first thing he wanted to do was push himself to become wwe champion and throw away the work and storytelling wrestlers did for 2 years
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 TH-cam’s comment censoring and the comment is already long enough
The Earth revolves around The Rock, didn't you know?
@ Of course, an ego that size would have a gravitational force
Yeah, how many times did The Rock call or text Brendan over those years?
@@mickeyc. Please reupload that Rock video. I wanna laugh. Screw what anyone says about it, we all know he stinks.
You really really make me hate that guy 😂😂😂 The Rock got an ego the size of Jupiter 😂
Anyone really surprised that GENERIC CELEBRITY MOVIE #37 is bad?
Not in the slightest. I only watched his other “red” movie because it was the first iteration and I thought it might be good. Most basic, trope & cliche filled movie I’ve ever seen. It was actually somewhat funny until those things overpowered the comedy.
Red One will make you drink some red wine 🍷
You mean generic movie #4,372.

It was a bold attempt to make a superhero movie while standing still.

Just like the Tyson v Paul match. One big cash grab.
The Rock got no Range
That would be forgivable if he actually put forth some effort and did something worthwhile or interesting. I love Keanu Reeves but he's almost stiff as a board as an actor however he played to his strengths doing films like Speed, Point Break, and John Wick and the effort he put into John Wick really shows on screen.
The Rock would never work that hard on a movie. He just walks around in front of a green screen acting wry and mildly "witty".
Dave Bautista can act and want to act. The Rock has the raised eyebrow.
or hair
Gridiron Gang, Snitch, Pain and Gain, The Gameplan, Faster
I disagree he is a great wrestler and entertainer
The costume looks like a modified leftover Deadpool suit
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.

The rock is like steven seagal but with steroids
But at least Seagal makes you laugh when he runs in movies.
Nope
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.
Adam Sandler can be fun when he actually tries. You never see that out of the Rock.
@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

I have to make new videos, the old are deleted 😭
@mickeyc. Unfortunate, I would have loved to see it.
Just rerecord them from your scripts 😭😭I'm dying of fomo here
The director has zero power bro. The Rock’s production company Seven Bucks produced the film. He hand picked everything. He’s the boss.
as a wrestling fan, he's never my favorite back in his prime anyway. John Cena and Batista will always be the better wrestlers turn actor anyway. glad more people realized that he's a fraud now.
Steve Austin is better than both of those jabroni bitches
YOURE SMOKING CRACK! THEY WOULD NEVER BE ON THE LEVEL OF THE ROCK IN WRESTLING
Roddy Piper too but unfortunately Hulk Hogan's shitty acting made it more difficult for him to break into Hollywood as a wrestler.
The Greek word for actor was “hypocrites”
It’s right there on the tin
I think it was Hippocrates
They just didn't culturally trust people who made a living out of "lying" as they saw it when greek theatre began.

Another reason of putting this movie in november is coz they will be able to put in on netflix or another streaming platform for the holidays.

Your Dwayne Johnson video was one of my favorites. Still lives on in my heart. Even if I don’t agree or care about something, I respect the passion. I’ll admit, I liked his gimmick before he started marketing products. I will watch “Tearing down the People’s Champion, Part 2”

I stop messing with Dwayne Johnson/The Rock, after he said yes to doing Hobbs & Shaw. If he hadn’t said yes, The Fast Saga could’ve ended perfectly and earlier and I LOVE Fast & Furious!

Rock doesn't care about movies. He cares about his brand value and his business. Nothing more.
This is why I’m grateful for someone like Dave Bautista, a wrestler who can actually act.
Why don't people understand that actors are paid to deliver other people's words? Consequently, they cannot be trusted, because there's no way of knowing when they aren't being paid.
@nigelwitgunn3406 what you said is disrespectful to actual "actors" the rock is an entertainer not an actor there's a difference.
@Kingdomcome120 he's in the union so what's the difference, but what do you call De Nero?
Why so offended by the truth though? I said nothing disrespectful, I merely stated their chosen profession's function, compared to reality.
@nigelwitgunn3406 bro I was just making fun of the rock it's not that serious Lol 😂
@Kingdomcome120 sry m8, I'm so use to being challenged I forget where my funny bone is at times. 😉 Besides, you were right, lol.
@@nigelwitgunn3406 no worries 🫡
Didn’t think I’d see him working with Warner bros so soon 😬
The hierarchy of power ...
He owns a production company. He probably contracted for a few films
also i wonder if the other acting is bad because they were all fuming about the rocks lateness and general attitude, saw something a while back he just takes the piss and leaves everyone else to suffer on set doing nothing but wait for him to show, i probably wouldn't be giving my all to his movie either honestly
He peed in bottles 🤣
@@mickeyc. 😨😨
oh god, imagine the rock and jared leto on a movie set together
@mickeyc. He what
@GenjiCatGames Yet he ran his mouth about vin diesel calling him a candy a$$ for also being late on fast 8.
Am I the only one thankful "annoying as hell" Kevin Hart wasn't in it?
Red wave is just the baywatch movie he was in lol.
Oh god, I thought that movie was a fever dream.
People called me a hater too I'm glad people are catching on he gets on my fucking dam nerves 🤷🏾♂️
just ask vin diesel who the rock is.
Yes. The world needs I hate the Rock videos with no negativity.
Bro this movie has all the stereotypical “guy stuff” tropes from like 10-20 years ago. It’s so over the top and senseless that it genuinely feels like a Fast & Furious Christmas movie. And I’m sorry, but I don’t buy Chris Evans as a tough guy.
The next will be Red Wing and he will recruit Anthony Mackie 2:04
???
Then he’ll be old enough to star in R.E.D. 3 🙄
The guy Is ridiculous, he has a no lose clause in his contract. All of his movies are so predictable, especially when you know about his contract. That basically tells you how the movie is going to end.
Filmed on a $250 budget🤣
I was watching this movie thinking this is just like a Kamala campaign, where'd all the money go?🤔
YES, more Rock hate! This is what I subbed to this channel for
That can't be all!!!
@@mickeyc. Well that's how it started
250million dollars ? Omg, from trailer I thought its 40million
40 only covers Rock's salary
@@mickeyc.I did like Netflix red alert - it was bad but fun to watch
It's no secret that "Dwayne" is a business man (like Reynolds is) and not an actual actor.
When you see people doing all these outside dealings, it’s a sign that they cannot act. You don’t see Denzel doing that shit.
No no it is filmed on a $250 budget 😂 no way in hell is this shit a 250million budget movie😂
its not an xmas movie with rock in it...., its a rock movie with xmas in it.
its horrible.theres no family element to it,they compleetly skip over the family element.
its like they didnt have enough story to make a movie, and not enough xmas story to make an xmas movie, so its neither.
its boring,jk simmons has no warmth or jolly to be santa, the scene where theyre both lifting weights compleetly destroys the sense of him being santa.
the krampus is a pretty obscure xmas character for most people,and deffinitely kids..., gryla is even more obscure.
i hated that i wasted the evening watching this.
this is chris evans worst acting performance ive ever seen.
its funny how rock gets "jeffrey epstein vision" at the end.
do not bother watching this movie.
💯
What is "Jeff Epistien vision"?
@@amandajean7738 sees little kids everywhere
I respect opinion.
I just want to see movie, so I will go to see it anyway.
Despite negative reviews.
I swear The Rock is getting worse every year. We are all sick and tired of Dwayne Johnson right now. This movie is one major reasons why today’s movies suck.
I am sick of The Rock and I am SICK of Chris Evans!
Don't watch there movies then 🤷
@KnightsofCybertronReturns Rock and Evans shill.
@RE-ol5ws you sound so angry and bitter too
@@KnightsofCybertronReturns And you sound like a shill.
@@RE-ol5ws and you sound like a hater 😂 just saying
You wanna know something funny? I was willing to give this movie a chance and see it when I saw Chris Evans and JK Simmons were in it, I thought it would be like that Santa Claus action movie that came out last year.
But when I saw it had The Rock to lead or just simply be in it? My excitement and willingness dropped like a can of hot lava in my hands. That much I despise his stiffness.
Btw, I’ve heard rumored that he only wants to look do-good in movies just because he wants to run for presidency one day. Yeah, that nutty.
My 6 year old really wants to watch this. Seems like a movie aimed more towards children lol
Really? A Christmas movie about a Buff Santa is more aimed towards kids?😂😂😂😂
@ my 6 year old asked to watch it 🤷🏻♂️ I didn’t even know till he mentioned it. Bought tickets and seeing it tonight :)
I don't even think kids will like it
@ I’ll let you know what he says I’ll ask for his review on a scale from 1 to 10 since he likes to do that haha.
Cheers guys
@@jasontodd6605 I’m sorry. You are an awesome dad but sadly you have horrible taste in movies
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.....
I thought it looked lame watching the trailer and your review confirmed it for me. Thanks for another excellent review. Would love another Rock review.
Great video agree totally
Why are we afraid to say "tax the rich"? It makes no sense. Like yeah. Tax the rich.
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.
Avoid
When the trailer came on, my dad and I just looked at each other. The Rock was better when he was a heel.
3 thousand subs so far... remember the OG's when you make it! 😅
I feel so bad, becaue i remembered watching those videos and i haven't rewatched them in full so I was confused for a while until i heard you deleted them because of the backlash. I wish i could find those haters and say otherwise because it's clear they had no sense of respect whatsoever.
Those haters are haters
Great video Mickeyc. The Rocks bubble has finally burst ..way too much ego on show
You want a man who called himself "The Rock" to show range and movement? It wasn't a nickname, it was a warning
The man’s on gear and his actions towards the Maui situation was less than stellar.
He's not an actor, he's a content creator
Anytime i see a new movie by him, its an automatic skip for me
The Rock is the same character in every film, he plays the Rock.
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.
The Rock? More like the Crock. The coolest thing about this movie is the Coca-Cola bear 🐻❄️
He’s no Arnold
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger?
I have an idea for only movie that will save Rock's career.
Enter "The Boulder", a mocumentary where Rock plays a retiered wrestler who mentors the protaginist, the titular "Boulder", into wrestling and Hollywood stardom.
But it’s an “instant Christmas classic”. The trailer told us so
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
I do think the Rock as a person is charming (I do find his story of him overcoming depression pretty inspiring), but ever since Journey 2 The Mysterious Island ( remember that?😂) it’s like he realised what sells and by this point is fully numb and cynical. All of these films feel the same. Other than maybe Jumanji: The Next Level, Jungle Cruise and parts of Black Adam, there is just no passion from him. Especially since Rampage/Skyscraper.
I think what really turns me off is that part of his contract where he cannot lose ( Why do you want to play Black Adam then?). That’s just you portraying an image, your not acting or even performing.
I am exited for the sports movie he’s gonna do with one of Safdie bros though. That could be the fresh update he needs.
Oh it's a movie about Battlebots, why does this trash keep getting made exactly, especially with the name of a music producer as it's title, it's hard to take it seriously.
It's normal for Christmas movies to come out in November, even early November.
That’s the main thing I dislike about The Rock. Bro can’t help but do product placement for every little thing. Always pushing his liquor and energy drink. He can’t have one human interaction without needing to advertise one of his products.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Lol
I completely get it I'm tired of the same movie starring The Rock playing the same character
I actually like trailer but it was clear to me, it had the best parts of me
Definitely...
My kids want to see it...they had a free preview at the movie theater on base (lucky we missed it because of my daughter's nutcracker practice.) I'll agree to moana 2 because it's just his voice and he's a bit better but not live action the rock... I'm sorry I can't.
I don't know if I can subjugate myself to Moana
I was disappointed when you mentioned that you deleted the Rock videos.. I would love to watch those.
Personally I haven’t seen the movie and don’t plan to, but the reviews themselves have been entertaining.
I loved The Rock in the early 2000’s WWF, but when he went full Hollywood my interest not only dropped but I started disliking everything he does.
However, his latest iteration of “The Rock” with WWE being “The Final Boss” is quite good.
Ha! I can safely say the only 2 Rock movies I have seen are The Mummy Returns and San Andreas….. that’s cause I have always LOOOOVED disaster movies…. Thankfully he’s never been in the particular “genres” I have in interested in…. Also Chris Evans is such an insufferable goblin in real life….. can’t see the general public being interested….. and all his dialogues sound like a mid 2000s American sitcom….
….. HEY MICKEY! Long time no see!
Hey!
You know I actually agree with you on that one. When I first saw the trailer for Red Ones I just didn't care much about it, To me it felt like one big advertisement. It never felt like a movie, It felt like a giant advert. Even though he may be called the rock he's not flexible enough to do something cool and awesome, I think his days are already over. Perhaps it's time we should give it to someone else, I know the Rock wouldn't but his movies are starting to get more and more generic and bland
Only time rocks actually a decent actor is when he’s in wwe 😂
Bro I’ve been saying this for years. He is one of the most ONE DEMENTIAL ACTORS in Hollywood. He’s the same in every film he’s in. I’m tired of him playing The Rock in every character he portrays. Also hate how he hijacks everything he’s in. Especially coming into franchises with his ego and thinks that he can make changes to not only his role, but everyone else’s. He’s annoying….I’m glad people are starting to SEE IT!
The Rock is a contemporary Steven Seagal
Loves to play the hero but is actually a villain behind the scenes
Funnily enough the rock could play a good Horus in a warhammer production, his personality nails horus charisma as well as his underlying charisma
100% spot on about the Rock. He's never made an iconic movie. At best he's got maybe 2-3 ok movies. He's the Russel Wilson of Hollywood. Boring, lame, cringe.
I saw it, friday. It was on the screen. That's about it. The popcorn was good.
The Rock monster is just a one note actor. The same performance in everything he has done. Finding out that he is full blown MAGA is really a turn off.
Dwayne is a Biden support, buddy.
The only Red One i know is Call of Duty: Big Red One. Ahhh, the nostalgia.
It’s so trendy to crap on The Rock nowadays. Sad people can’t think for themselves.
You can tell it’s bad when it comes out before CVS even unboxed the Christmas display
Once I found out, he was playing Black Adam. I knew that was gonna be a shit show.
I feel like the inevitable failure Moana 2 (and yes, it will fail because let's be honest, it was a last minute decision to go to a theatrical release and is going up against Wicked), I'm absolutely positive that he's going to be in the Royal Rumble... Although the point about covering The Rock's tattoos, that's something that probably can't be done, especially his tribal tattoo that's on his pectoral muscle and down his arm, since those are deeply engrained in Samoan and Polynesian culture, basically you can't cover the tattoos on the left side of his body given that side is so culturally significant, while the right side of his body can absolutely be covered (especially the current version of his Bhrama Bull tattoo, as it looks horrible)
The Rock still don't get it that the people hate him because he is not portraying a movie character, but just himself. The audience just sees him as The Rock wearing a costume. Even if he switch roles and he plays as Drax, viewers will just see him as The Rock simply wearing a green paint and not Drax
Hell yeah, you should make another video on the Rock.
If it has The Rock or Kevin Heart in it, it's guaranteed garbage.
Do not forget the rock failed so bad in black adam that he got a big role in Endeavour (WWE) and the first thing he wanted to do was push himself to become wwe champion and throw away the work and storytelling wrestlers did for 2 years
That Trump joke was decent. I genuinely chuckled out loud
I've always said John Cena in Peacemaker is what The Rock thinks his acting is like
Please bring back the Rock videos!!!
Guess people are finally starting to smell what The Rock is cookin
Is it a new movie? Does it suck? If yes, then yes.
