There is only one movie he appeared in that I like outside of the Fast & Furious series, which is... Baywatch. although I have only seen Baywatch once so far and will have to see how it holds up on a re-watch eventually.
for the record... Fast Five (2011) (7/10) is my favorite movie he appeared in and is my 2nd favorite of the F&F series behind the 1st movie(which I also gave a 7/10).
p.s. when I say 'like' I mean a 6/10 or higher which means it's worth re-watching as that's what ultimately makes or breaks movies for me is whether I want to re-watch them from time-to-time or not. |

He has a lot of charm but goddamn someone get him a good movie to do My thoughts exactly. Johnson's a charismatic guy and I respect his approach to life and career, but man, it's frustrating to see him waste it in mostly mediocre to terrible moves.
The main issues are: A.) Johnson just plays a variation of his Rock persona and in each film, he's a tough badass who ends up doing the right thing (compare this to Dave Bautista who bothers to play actual characters), B.) He's executive producer on all his films, so too much of the focus is on making him look good and it detracts from the other actors as a result and C.) He wants his audience to leave his films with a positive feeling and as a result, there's no sense of danger when watching him in action.
I feel like Johnson should find some creative directors and writers who can challenge his screen persona and take him in some new directions. He can do so much better than mediocre blockbusters.

Faster, Pain and Gain, the Fast and Furious movies, Jumanji, Be Cool, Walking Tall, and Moana are at least decent movies. Everything else is mediocre to terrible. I did enjoy Central Intelligence actually. It is not 'good' by any means, but it was funny and entertaining and I normally hate Kevin Hart.
