Seriously, when was the last truly original story that The Rock did? Seems to me hes always latching onto the coattails of established money making IP's. Only reason he is the "richest actor in hollywood".
That's kind of what Arnold did, other than the Terminator it's all sci-fi novels and copying what Stallone was doing.
shareRaw Deal, Predator, Red Heat, True Lies, and Last Action Hero all say "Hello".
sharenon sci fi action movies .
Wasnt that what Stallone was doing?
Stallone had a more eclectic mix of films.
The Rocky series were sports-drama films, and Over The Top was... I don't really know how you classify that movie? The less said about Rhinestone the better.
Stallone did other drama-thriller films like Lockdown and Night Hawks, too.
So while he had non-sci fi action films like Cobra and Rambo added to his repertoire, he had very different films mixed in as well.
I would say Arnold and Stallone both complimented each other by diving into various kinds of masculine films for a very similar audience. The only thing Stallone hadn't done was a medieval fantasy-adventure film like Conan The Barbarian. That would have been interesting to see.
You never saw Pumping Iron, Hercules in New York or Conan the Barbarian.
Seriously, when was the last truly original story that The Rock did?
How many movies has the Rock done, where the trailer shows him in a jungle.
It's kinda his calling card now.
He's the jungle guy, that makes kids movies, and popcorn rubbish that nobody cares about once they leave the cinema.
Why? Dwayne Johnson is his own man. And he's always charismatic. Same as Arnie.
shareArnold was surprisingly thoughtful in his choices. Total Recall is an amazing film
shareYou blame Rock without realizing that Hollywood is a sick, dying animal.
If Arnold was in his prime now, half of his films would be remakes - and the other half, sequels.
Skyscraper was really good.
shareIt was a fuckin’ video game.
shareA lot of his movies feel that way... like 'T' for Teen rated action games turned into films. Heck, Rampage was based on a video game.
His movies feel safe and cookie-cutter.
This. As much as people clown on Doom, at least he was the antagonist for the only time in his career (not including his "tweener" role in his first Fast/Furious flick . He needs to play the bad guy more.
shareOnly because of Anna Nicole's tits
shareYeah. Probably the most original film he was in was the Other Guys and he died after a few minutes into the film.
