The Rock in The Scorpion King!

[Kevster]

Against my better judgement, I was talked into seeing the Rock in this movie.

I thought, "Hey, why not give it the benefit of the doubt? Maybe all that wrestling has given the Rock some acting experience..." Sadly, this movie was so bad, I don't know where to begin!

I don't want to go into everything, but whatever you do - wait for the video. It is not worth the $5-$10 to see it in a theater!

See what happens when you give it the benefit of the doubt?

Damn that stinks. :shifty:

In my experience, if you go in with low expectations, you can't be let down! :P

I havent heard one good review from the movie yet.

I liked the Mummy Returns better if that says anything. I just saw it yesterday. Generally I liked how the Mummy I and II opens with a good backstory like LOTR to set the mood. Kelly Hu was good eye candy but the Rock isn't a good actor...his voice just doesn't "fit" into the movie. The story is weak...or rather how it was executed was weak. I think if they threw in more cheesy special effects it would have been a better movie experience. At least it can't be lower than Ishtar :thumbup:

saw the ROCK on Larry King Live of all places...and you know what?
I was impressed...the guy is pretty smart and carries himself really well...you'd never expect that from just watching WWF...

I think that is the reason people don't like this movie. When an educated person tries to play the part of a brute, something just doesn't fit.

I guess that puts an end to the theory that an educated person can act uneducated... :shrug:

I've seen him in normal, regular interviews and I can't help but like the guy! I agree that he really does carry himself well - he's actually a pretty smart guy that just happens to be in the WWF. Unfortunately, it may take a little while for him to develop his "talent" even though he has the raised eyebrow-thing down already.

He's definitely not Ahhnold. I think he has the capability to act, he just has to get better acting coaches.
