I've only seen The Scorpion King and Walking Tall. Scorpion King...jesus, was that bad. Walking Tall was decent.

Meh. He can act, but the projects he's picked so far have been kinda average.
He might not be able to go over as a "serious" actor, but it'd be fun to see him continue to try.

Your first sentence actually summed up my entire opinion of his acting career. He's not a bad actor, he just picks really bad movies to star in. I call it "Cuba Gooding Jr." syndrome.

I don't think he's picking "bad" movies anymore. He's just choosing to do more kid-friendly movies which, obviously, don't appeal to the 21-40 demographic that basically grew up with him in wresting, especially those who were diehard fans of his.
I would like to see him try some more serious roles, either in action or adult comedies, but if he's happy making kids movies then I think that's a really good niche for him.

Be Cool sucked ass.
I actually liked Doom because the Rock got to be funny and drop F BOMBS
the Gameplan, Rundown, Walking Tall, Scorpion King, were all cool.
I think Escape from Witch Mountain will be an awesome kid sci-fi flick.
He was a nonfactor in Get Smart, hell Khali had more screen time
That movie with Stifler that I thought would be funny as their stuff in Rundown wasn't really all that funny.
really think he and Sean William Scott, in a buddy Cop comedy would be pretty darn good. hell I'd love to see the Rock play off fo Paul Rudd.

Get Smart is the only one of his films I've seen and I thought he was great in it...so yes I guess.
