2 Questions:

1. What is the best “acting” role the Rock has had? Not his best movie, what role has he done where he has had to have range?

2. Could you see the Rock playing any role that Bautista has done, better?
The Rock could easily play any of those roles.

Snitch, Be Cool, walking tall, pain & gain.

outside guardians? I think given the chance he could do any of those roles

:lol: I understand

But have you even seen the movies I named?
Yessir, all those movies are about 15-20 years old at this point. Be Cool was more of an ensemble cast and he barely had lines. I did like Pain and Gain tho.underrated Michael Bay flick

And while they were decent/good, he didn’t make them any better.

I’ve been accused of being a hater though. So take what i say with a grain of salt

The most unsettling thing about that is that it's not standard Magneto stuff. So you know that he had to have thought about doing that to Wolverine a long, long time ago and just never pulled the trigger on it.

Meanwhile, I'm just wilding out because they actually let Wolverine put his claws into a living thing. I know people have died, and prime sentinels yadda-yadda, but that was the deed, and they gave the moment the space it deserved.

But this show is just great in that it gives us the iconic moments but also tosses in a bunch of other fun and poignant stuff around them, too. If I start gushing on it, then I won't stop gushing on it.
Real shit!!!!
I imagine Erik must have had that thought every time he's in a room having to hear Wolverine talking tough. Like bitch I can painfully end you with a finger wave and a thought.

I was thinking all the opening dialogue from this scene the whole time


"There's always a speech Charles, but NO ONE CARES!!!!"

I wish animated Magneto could have rolled his eyes as hard as movie Magneto.


EXXCELLENT POST!!!!

And its crazy... he doesn't ACTUALLY roll his eyes

but damn it he conveys an entire body eye roll with that line reading.

That movie is trash, but Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence's performances were amazing.

I've never seen actors more clearly state thru body language that, "I'm only here because I was contractually obligated. Fuck this movie!"

don't forget James McAvoy actually that cast is much more solid then we give them credit
The cast is the only thing that carries pretty much all of those movies. I could have watched another two or three hours of McAvoy and Fassbender from that first movie. I was having that much fun with that dynamic.

All those X-men movies are trash except for Logan
First class was so so


Ain’t nothing on the level of this show
Disney will find a way to ruin it like they did mandalorian
I actually liked days of future past and the 2nd movie of the xmen.

only in act 1
fell apart after that a la Dark Knight in act 3

imo that fucking pedo never liked the comics - nor the characters
-focused on packing his message (and minors) over telling a good story

PLEASE know I despise that man and how he completely skated on all his bullsh*t

(I hope all this rap battle stuff causes a spotlight on the actual industry pedos who have walking in plain sight for DECADES out here)

But I still thought 2 as solid

and I'm also one to take the TIME it was release into account.

And for its TIME and what it lead to and the blueprint it helped to continue to create?

I think its up there.

X2 was the best X-Men film. I like the first as well. Didn't care for First Class, outside of Magneto.

I actually didn't hate X-Men the Last Stand lolz, that's a guilty pleasure of mine.

In this recent episode, anyone else catch the dig at the Singer films, when Cyclops commented "what, should we wear black leather instead?"

nah nah X-Men 2 was solid
real talk - every ep of XMen 97 is demonstrating that every previous X project INCLUDING the original animation was diluted
or corrupted - worse - some were even perverse tangents that diminished the IP's core

Beau / X97 production team get to go around hollywood shouting "they're not like us"

imo X97 is hitting like Batman TAS in '92

:yes: its a burn at Joss Whedon also
Made a dig at black leather then put on his blue spandex and yellow outer underwear.

but I'm not arguing, Its MY list.
ok then your rationale of considering the era it was made
finds dissonance when looking at those 4 earlier and contemporary films

But don't listen to me because I think Dark Knight is overrated.
I wish I could kick it with Nolan to ask him wtf happened to that screenplay / script.

I have a theory that the studio stepped in and forced Nolan to change the Dark Knight's third act

the change in pace and writing starts after the prisoners on the ferry aren't blown up (rip Tiny)

I'm pretty sure the "good" citizens were originally intended to be a parallel to Harvey Dent

and that they shoe horned in the cellular sonar /Lucius dilema to replace something else

Okay I'm watching it this weekend I haven't seen it in over a decade or more.

But to be FAIR... Nolan COULD have just fumbled at the 1 yard line.

It happens. But I aint gonna say NOTHING until I watch it again with your observations in mind.
