The Rock as a person deserves his success. But even people who deserve their station can be exploited. Do I blame him for taking 20 million a movie for 3 movies a year? No. Just like I dont blame Kevin Hart for exploiting his fans with weird comedy platforms that youtube already covers for free under the guise of helping comedians. Get that money. But i'm not even going to watch Skyscraper. If Jumanji didnt have a tinge of nostalgia i wouldn't have watched that either, even though it was a decent movie. The Rock needs to watch his legacy, or he'll convert into a Nick Cage type that has a clean 50-50 ratio of good movies and trash. Studios know that no Rock blockbuster will lose money, even if it isn't a hit, and they're exploiting that. it's up to the Rock if he wants to just keep taking 20 mil paychecks or if after a certain point there's a diminishing return.
IMO he could just only do Fast and Furious movies and make fucking bank. I hate the movies, but i agree. He's pimping the fuck out right now. I don't see a problem in it, but he has so much money - at what point does the scale tip from $$$ to his repuation/legacy. I imagine he's getting very close to that.
He seems like a great guy, i base that on very little because i obviously don't know him. I saw this the other day and thought it was pretty cool.
