Do you really need The Rock representing MMA in a movie ? There's enough bad movies out there to represent the MMA community as it is.

When this thing was announced was I the only person who’s first thought was that they look nothing alike ?

Here Comes the Boom was actually good, Bas Rutten is a natural comedic actor

A secret to his versatility as an actor is his racial ambiguity

I heard production hit rock bottom, but it doesn't matter what people say, he'll shine it up real nice.

They realized MMA fans are (majority) poor scrubs who steal and complain and shit on themselves?

That's great method acting

MMA needs a ROCKY/CREED movie. Best mma movie so far is the Warrior. It needs a high quality underdog movie like ROCKY/CREED. People don't realize many fighters got inspired from movies and is part of the reason they got into martial arts and combat sports.

The Rock is bigger than MMA. He definitely should.

those movies are bad unrealistic and corny af. they should make realistic movies. like the wrestler. that show the darker side of fighting and keep people away. its for the .01%

True, Asian martial arts movies aren’t what they once were, ironically the marvel movie Shang Chi is one of the best kung fu films I’ve seen

It was ahem "Rock Solid"!

Honestly though - This and Dune are fekkin amazing imo.

Prolly top 2 of 2021 easily.

Mind Dune is woad my fav sci fi literature ever... my LotR level (same as Moorcock's Elric Saga....possibly Zelazny's Amber...)

Yeah martial arts and action movies fell off hard over the years. Some people are still making action movies though but there really needs to be more action stars. It's really only the Rock and Jason Statham now. No more Jackie Chan and Jet Li. JCVD is still making movies but nothing major release. Tony Ja isn't releasing major movies but he a co-star in some action movies, but they have been very low quality like Jiu-Jitsu. I don't know who green lighted that project, they had a good enough cast to actually make a good action movie. John Wick movies are dope, Keanu Reeves like to dabble in the action movies as well and John Wick had a lot of martial arts techniques. New Matrix movie is coming out soon too. Bourne Trilogy isn't making movies anymore, but the Bond films is still active with Daniel Craig. Hopefully that keeps going but it seems like they plan on eventually replacing him, hopefully they keep the action gritty like the other Daniel Craig movies.

Also missing are traditional style martial arts movies from the past. Like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and what Rza did with the Man with the Iron Fists. I would like to see modern/urban style martial arts movies like that. I think those would do very well if it was done right with a proper script, cast, and special effects. Either way we need more action stars and more action/martial arts movies.

Good to hear about Shang Chi, I'm definitely going to check that out as well.

Nah people like a good underdog story, and it isn't really unrealistic, underdogs win all the time and combat sports are filled with Rocky type fighters. The Wrestler just shows what happens when you continue for too long and don't know when to quit, even tough your body can't handle it anymore. All that should teach people is to have an exit plan and have other options set up if it's something you can't physically do forever, so you don't end up in situations like that.

Sounds kind of corny. Most mma movies are cringey.
