What does "starring Dwayne Johnson" mean to you?

It's hard for me to want to really tune into his films because he's just always seemed like a comic book character in everything he does. I enjoyed him in The Rundown but even putting him in Jumanji seems like a bad idea. The original was already pretty silly (although done well and creepy at times) so they must really be going full toddler on this one. I just can't believe they chose Dwayne and Kevin Hart LOL, maybe it's because Zathura was already a decent Jumanji remake?

That he's going to play an confident, alpha male, action hero who saves the day and who's the leader of a squad. This movie was no exception.

It means he'll own the movie, and get paid for it. Whether it's a good movie or not.

It means prepare for a movie filled with tons of charisma, ass kicking, and occasionally well-delivered humor. And sometimes you can even expect him to stretch his acting muscles. So yeah, the guy is a bonafide movie star who can make almost any movie worth watching. Unsurprisingly, he was awesome in Jumanji.

It means i'm sure to enjoy the movie, but won't be adding the bluray to my collection any time ever.

That at some point. One eyebrow will be raised.
