I agree. He was a mediocre actor but was part of some great action movies in 80s. Apart from Predator and Terminator, I especially loved Commando. Again his acting was through his body language.

At his height he was easily the most popular action star and I remember in Summer 93 there was huge hype around Last Action Hero vs Cliff Hanger. Another movie from Spielberg with just Dinos trampled over both the movies 🙂

Commando is kinda brilliant, one of the most rewatchable movies ever, that magic can't be done today, it was the product of its time and all the right circumstances.

Just saw it. Ya’ll are nuts if you don’t think the Rock knew what he was doing with it. Audience cheered the mid credits scene, laughed the whole way through and everyone was buzzing afterwards.

 

Peak theatre experience here. 
 

(Movie itself is nothing but dumb fluff, but a fun, numb two hours!)

The Rock did his best performance in Be Cool imo.

I really don't think anyone thought this game was going to be good. Now wake me up when they announce Injustice 3.

I just watched it here in Singapore. Darn good movie IMO; people were clapping at the end and there were some unexpected twists.

 

Dr Fate stole the show. Will rewatch it in IMAX.

 

Very pleasantly surprised - this was not bad at all.

 

Yup. Doctor Fate indeed stole the show. I want to see more of him in the future. 👀

Are cinemas usually packed on weekdays lunchtime in Greece? For an opening title of course.

It obviously would have gotten a 10/10 if it included the blood son

Not to derail the topic too much but the game looked like shit from the trailers so no surprises here. WB should have let Rocksteady develop this one too.  OK now back to Black Adam

Theatres in Greece are not even packed on Dinner time. Basically we have only one chain that is busy and that only has most of each business during Wednesdays/Fridays/Saturdays noon-night. 

 

I actually saw a purple of showtimes and this has had like 4 almost sold out showings, which is decent and actually much better than DC’s latest offerings.

Means the 70% empty comment was really misleading... and doesn't explain the context of it being weekday and really early..

Stallone '85 was the peak of action star popularity.
