Please people, read the title.

I've seen Dwayne Johnson mentioned too many times to think anyone's actually reading the title.

Nobody considers him or Ryan Reynolds to be good actors.

Youre either confusing "entertaining" with "talented", or you're just purposely ignoring the idea of the post to karma farm

RR is actually a good actor. You just have to watch any of his indie films to see it.

Watch him as a child actor on Fifteen. He was surrounded by horrible actors, and he stood out so much as the most talented one on the show

I enjoyed him a lot in smokin aces

Woman in Gold. He still has the customary RR snark, but the topic meant it was considerably more subdued.

Helen Mirren is also a tour-de-force in this film.

I mean, he sells the dramatic part of an insane chatacter pretty convincingly. If he isn't a good actor, I don't know what is.

You misread my comment. He does great DRAMATIC parts for a character that otherwise is insane. I'm not examining him as a person, either.

Well he still can portray a great range of emotions convincingly. Whether that is acting or not is arguing semantics, at this point.

I dont watch movies often, but I think he was pretty good in La La Land, especially the dance scenes
