great action hero?
Lets be honest, all of the great action heroes in the past now suck.
Arnold? Old and now a politician.
Sly? Sly who, he has sucked for a looooooong time
Van Damme? LOL

anyways I think this guy will be the next big thing. His last movie "The Rundown" was fairly entertaining, and the action was awesome and ferocious. I think his new movie "Walking Tall" will be good as well.

BTW, I am not a fan of WWE or wrestling.

I am a fan of WWE wresting, but that put aside, I think the Rock IS the next big Action Star. He has been in four major movies. 3 of which he was the primary star in. The Scorpion King was great IMO, The Rundown was even better, I bought the DVD this tuesday, the first day it came out. I've watch it atleast 6 times since, and I cant wait till "Walking Tall"

And its not like Im a huge Rock fan (I actually prefer Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, and Rick Flair), I just think he is a very good actor and very good at choosing the "right" roles to portray on film. He is definately the biggest action star right now, IMO.

I think he is going to blow up. He has charisma, a pretty good actor, but his strong point is his action scenes. WOW!!!!! they are pretty fuckin sweet. Watch out, the Rock is coming to a theater near you.

I rented the Rundown and watched it with my bro last week. It was tremendous. Rock was excellent, Stifler was well... Stifler, and Walken was in absolutly top form, one of the most satisfying popcorn flicks I've seen in a while.

Hahahahahahhahaha, that scene was funny as heck. This post brought a smile to my tearfull eyes.

Stifler was the shiznick in that movie. Him and the Rock together was the perfect casting for a movie. And I love Christopher Walken, perfect cast for a bad guy in any movie. IMO. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

No doubt, the Rock is gonna be the shiznick in the near future, watch out.

That first scene in the Rundown was off the hook. I can't get that song out of my head when the guy throws champagne and yagermeister in his face then he gets up and the song says: Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Absolutely brilliant!

I dont know about all this Rock crap but I will second the thoughts of all Christopher Walken fans. He is the consumate bad guy. Every movie I watch with him featured, I have to watch again. Especially Poolhall Junkies. "Did I stutter, a minute ago it was like a poolhall . . . "

The Rock says he can't be any worse than Hogan was.

I may be wrong, but isn't it Christopher Walken's birthday today? I beleive it is. Great actor.

And also, I do think the Rock is the next big action hero.

I thought the same thing when Scorpion King came out, but then I saw the preview for the Rundown and it looked hella funny, so I saw it. It was a lot better than I thought. You should check out his movie, you'll probably be pleasently surprised.
