I did see the much hyped appearance that he made in the Mummy 2. Which I think lasted for all of what seemed to be 30 seconds. Maybe I'll give him a chance and watch one of his movies, but it will probably be some time till I get to it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie starring the Rock.

Problem is, he's developed some sort of role model/moral code. What the world needs is for him to make a solid, hard R action flick. What we are gonna get is more crap. So sad. That Arnold, passing-the-torch scene in "The Rundown" was supposed to be an important moment. Unfortunately, he was passing the Kindergarten Cop torch instead of the Terminator/Total Recall torch.</p> Agree on the Rock 1000%. Problem is, he’s developed some sort of role model/moral code.

Jigsaw is as complex as any character in Batman's rogues gallery, his motivation as a dying man teaching others to not waste their lives through elaborate Rube Goldberg-esque traps. Each film has brought new twists and fleshed out his origins, although I think it would have worked better as a trilogy. By 4 they were starting to stretch certain things, and I'd say 2 or 3 are my favorites. We'll see how the final 2 chapters play out. I'm not laughing at Dwayne Johnson, either. After Arnie passed him in the Rundown, I took that as the official passing of the torch. Why he went on to make his own Kindergarten Cop in the form of that football movie or take a supporting role in Get Smart I don't know. I have been reading the Black Adam thing for some time now though, and I'm hoping it's true.

What is your favorite movie line? I like the Cool Hand Luke line but I think that my favorites probably come from the Terminator and Dirty Harry movies.
What are the absolute worst movies you’ve ever seen? American Beauty was awful.. Rocky 5, Batman and Robin, and Godfather 3 have to be in there when it comes to disappointments.

Is there a movie you hated when you first saw it and then later had to admit you were wrong? License to Kill
What is your biggest guilty pleasure movie – the one you’re ashamed you enjoy?
