4 min clip of JUNGC. Trying too hard to be Indiana JOnes. Antibody Jul 29, 09:07

It's getting a pass from critics who say it's nothing more than a basic adventure movie if you're in the mood for that. Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 09:28

TROCK doesn't have the range of HFORD or JDEPP. Antibody Jul 29, 09:30

Of course. Nevertheless, it might be time to TROCK to do a movie where he plays his character archetype and then subverts it. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 09:32

Lose some muscles? Part of Indy and Sparrow's charm is how they get out of their predicaments. {nm} Antibody Jul 29, 09:37

For BLACK ADAM he actually bulked up! His overbooked schedule doesn't leave room to get out of shape for now. He's too managed. notfabio Jul 29, 10:01

Although, what is actually on his plate coming up now that BADAM has wrapped production? Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 10:19

He's starts on Red One for Amazon in 2022. {nm} Antibody Jul 29, 10:41

For a holiday 2023 release. Which means it could start later in 2022 and not early. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 10:49

didn't he do that already in CINTL and JUMNJ?...he also had a quiet scene w/ CGUGI in SANDR about dealing with their daughter's death.... {nm} tealfan Jul 29, 12:37

CINTL and JUMNJ was him playing a role. Subverting an archetype is playing your traditional archetype in unexpected ways. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 13:00

didn't hurt ASCHW (though he made some stinkers too). they've been trying to make Rock the next Ahnuld for 20 years now cake boss! Jul 29, 10:18

TROCK thinks of himself as a business. All about the global four quadrant appeal. What he can sell, not necessarily make good or unique. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 10:22

other than San Andreas, don’t think he’s ever carried a major release on his own that hit it big cake boss! Jul 29, 10:44

It would have been nice if his BAYWT movie did the proper 21JST approach and he subverted his archetype. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 10:51

He 'subverted' enough in Central Intelligence. It wasn't great! Tallwonder Jul 29, 11:21

That was less subversion of an archetype and more attempting to play a role. Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 11:35
