Finally The Rock has come BACK...
  • To Action Movies.

    The Dwayne Johnson definitely needed to do some unapologetically violent action movies to get back in our good graces after "The Tooth Fairy".
  • Sweets

    I wonder why he kept taking those horrible roles.

    I wonder why he kept taking those horrible roles.

    Either he had a kid or wanted to appeal to kids.

    Plus kids movies = payday!
  • Were those kids movies Disney properties? If so, Disney owns your soul. Eddie Murphy's old stand up were not allowed to be released on DVD while he was under contract with them.

    The trailer is kind of meh but I do appreciate him being credited as Dwayne Johnson. It took a few years but I respect guys like him more when they aren't using their wrestling/rap names.
  • Yeah, all of those kid's films were Disney movies, and I'm sure he wasn't hurting financially for doing them.
  • Nope and I'm not saying he was. Just saying that is why he wasn't in an action movie till now. He probably signed a very lucrative contract with Disney to make a certain amount of movies. Once in that contract Disney will not allow you to spoil an image until that contract is done.
  • Just like Vin Diesel...
  • I've said it before, but the Rock's charm always gets to me. I didn't see all the family stuff he made but this trailer, specifically the contrast between the radio preacher and what is happening no screen, is enticing. I probably won't see it anyway, but that has more to do with not going to the movies as much as I used to than anything else.
  • Wait, is this part of the Fast and the Furious?

    Was that a picture of him and Vin Diesel?
  • [quote="superdeformed"]Wait, is this part of the Fast and the Furious?

    No, because this is not a excuse to show off the hottest cars.

    Yes.

    This is now a thread about the Fast and the Furious 5.
  • It's like Vin Diesel and The Rock wrote a love story about themselves and then made a movie out of it.
  • [quote="furyk"]Either he had a kid or wanted to appeal to kids.

    Plus kids movies = payday!I do have to say that it must be tough to have your kids say "daddy, can we watch one of your movies?" and you have to say "no, you aren't old enough".
  • I love the fact that all the main characters from each movies, except for Bow Wow and the other guy from Tokyo Drift, are there.
  • I love how they had to name it this:

    Because this was taken.

  • Damn son, Fast Five was tight!!!
  • Fast Five was pretty good, although I could have used more actually car scenes. As long as they get rid of Paul Walker's character and make Dwayne Johnson a member of the team, Faster Six should be awesome
  • I can only conclude that the constant sweat coming off of Dwayne Johnson provided a protective shield against all the shrapnel and scraps he would have received from being knocked around so much.
  • How can they churn out 5 fucking F&F movies, but nobody can get the Hobbit done?
  • Because the studio, producers and creative people weren't fighting with each other for years.

    The more this movie keeps forcing itself in front of me, the more I want to see it. Too bad I donzmt get to do movies in the theater anymore.
  • Plus, car movies don't need a good story to sell.
  • I love that the death of the asian guy is canon, and that Fast and Furious has canon and a timeline to keep track of.
