Kevin Hart
Kate mckinion
Watched last weekend rather entertaining but highly predictable plot. Never would I imagined the rock voicing krypto the super dog same goes Kevin Hart as ace but they have such good chemistry everytime they work together and then there's kate mckinion as a evil gerbil genius casting overall good movie for the kids

The story didn't feel very original, I actually thought it was a modern day remake of the original Die Hard with Dwayne Johnson playing John Mclane with a prostetic leg, Every other character seems 1 dimensional and forgettable including the main antagonist, an ok watch if you have a few hours to spare and turn you're brain off at the door

About what you expect
I must admit I did enjoy this. Unfortunately for game adaptation it is what you expect, cheesy dialogue, masses of action and Dwayne Johnson doing what he does best. But making a film out of a basic button bashing game is a tall order and it was well done. Touching funny and kept the kids entertained. If you want a film with plenty of action watch this.

This, I believe, was Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson breakout role, after his what-amounts-to extended cameo in 2001's 'The Mummy Returns', ostensibly playing the same character.
Although you would barely know it: his background here is markedly different than that earlier film.
The film itself is pretty much pure sword and sorcery hookum: think, say, something like Conan the Destroyer and you're probably on the right lines!

Action packed.
This generations Bruce Willis.
Crazy, far fetched, rediculous over the top - I loved it...
Don't evpect anything other than a thrill a minute action ride and you won't be disappointed... Yes it's so far fetched it's rediculous but is that a bad thing....
The "former" Rock cements himself as a genuine action hero in this film that 20 ish years ago you could easily have seen Bruce Willis in...
I probably laughed a bit more at the sight of Johnson hanging upside down from a prosthetic leg and the following sequences than I should have but it is all silly fun...

Story
When the chips are down...
2004 saw the official beginning of one Dwayne Johnsons transition from the squared circle to the bright lights of Hollywood.
Starring as the protagonist in one of his first major leading roles, Rock "The Dwayne" Johnson put on a pretty steady and hard hitting performance as Chris Vaughn, a former member US Army Special Forces returning hometown after eight years.
Vaughn determined not to crumble under pressure from a local crime boss, battling his henchmen and corrupt officers who have all but taken over the town,
Slick, hard hitting action backed up by a solid story and performance.
No over the top special effects make this a nice Nod to past, lesser known action movies.

Reasonable expectations
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is very much a film that you should have appropriate expectations for. It's a Dwayne Johnson movie about a world changing disaster. If you watch it with that expectation, good job! You're going to have a fine time. If you watch it expecting it to be a cinematic masterpiece, don't waste your time just so you can complain later. Allow yourself to enjoy the movie for exactly what it claims it is. Nothing more.

Wonder Woman.
Deadpool.
Black Adam.
All in the same movie; a wannabe twisty-turny crime thriller in which a framed FBI agent (played by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) has to team up with his former notorious art thief target (Ryan Reynolds) to clear his name and to catch the new '#1 art thief in the world' thief aka The Bishop (Gal Gadot).
I found this to be reminiscent of the Nic Cage starring 'National Treasure' series, with the main characters all globe-trotting around the world in pursuit of the McGuffin, and with the interplay between Johnson and Reynolds raising a few laughs/raised eyebrows along the way.
In short: good, but not brilliant.
