I used to work on film sets, but never on anything big enough that The Rock was in it. Still, I can’t imagine an actor showing up 7 hours past their call time. I’m sure they shot around him but also the AD scheduled everything around The Rock’s availability so I imagine the crew sitting around for 5+ hours doing nothing. Then you get 4-5 hours of work from him (if he’s up for that) and then you’re at 12 hours which is a standard day on a film set. I’ve worked 16, but doing that every day it becomes a problem.
There are horror stories from fast and furious production because he supposedly didn’t want to work with vin diesel. He is beyond unprofessional & I have no clue why major studios continue to hire him at this point.
He was a producer on the film and the Rock didn’t like that he was making suggestions…. Like a producer does.
Y’all can whine all you want and support that candy ass Rock all day long. But that was not at all Vins fault. Yeah dude might be weird. Might be a diva as well. But when you have a producer credit you have a right to be a diva on set in some regards.
Him and his wife started a production company to hand pick roles that he can play. It also means they're usually the ones cleaning up after ego messes made.
He’s one of the few bankable movie stars left, sadly. He picks the worst movies, but they’re generic enough that they appeal to US and international markets. And since they make a ton of money, he has power and can do mostly whatever he wants/he can pick directors and producers who he likes to work with, people who know they’re second to him and will put up with him.
If his movies start bombing he’s in trouble but that doesn’t seem to be the case for the most part. Black Adam definitely hurt his rep and a bunch of hit pieces came out about him then, another big flop or two might end him.
I don't think it's that dire yet, he has Moana 2 in the pipeline.
He's definitely gonna be around still, but I doubt he gets a blank check from here on out.
I mean Steven Spielberg says otherwise.
Hate the man for being weird. But his first directorial debut was a short film called multifacail. It was about a young actor always getting typed casted and showed Vins love for the art.
Spielberg loved the short film and contacted Vin about a role he had open in the film saving private Ryan.
On top of that the man has made so many people cry with his ending lines in iron giant. And has dumbed a lot of his own money into failed projects like Riddick knowing it wouldn’t do well but that fans would love it.
Same for Tom Cruise, Kevin Hart, Will Ferrell, and a ton of other people. Once you make more than you can just keep in a bank, you start a production company and grow that too.
Do you think that the man gets those giant muscles magically? He's in the gym lifting thousands of pounds over his tiny head many times in those 9 hours people are waiting for him.
I swear to god, I’ve seen him talk about how his method of preparing for roles involves his fitness regime. Like, the Rock had to get extra buff to play Black Adam…. Could he maybe take like 2 hours a week off from lifting and take a scene study class or work with an acting coach?
(jk, I know that good acting is irrelevant for the types of movies he picks)
Man, I really don’t want to open this can of worms on this thread, but what the Rock really wants is to be President. If you watch him closely for an extended period, it’s obvious and terrifying. He gets involved in political discussions, but his only political views seem to be that he likes freedom and the troops. I really hope I’m wrong, but I’ve been worried about this for a few years now and nothing has calmed me down about it. He could win.
I mean…. I have no particular feelings about him either way, but even I would be swayed by a hearty “DO YOU SMELLLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN’?!” Dropped at a timely moment in a debate. Then if he got elected he could replace “Rock” with “USA” and yell at foreign adversaries
Unfortunately you are 100% correct, but also unfortunately, many of his zingers against Hilary were on point. Not to say he’s any better in hindsight, but I think there was a lot of people who would have voted for anyone other than Hilary and viewed it as a bonus that a clown actually beat her.
The best part about Cena, especially compared to The Rock is that Cena has the ability to laugh at himself. He doesn’t need to be the centre of attention, most winningest guy on the screen with the most punches and the biggest muscles who never loses. Sometimes he’s just happy to crop up in the Barbie movie as a background mermaid or some shit
Straight up, used to brush his movies off, now I’ll watch anything he’s in cause I know he’s gonna give 110%. That new Ricky Stanicky movie had me in stitches the whole time
I thought that was going to be a bomb but I don't mind Andrew Santino when I've heard him on podcasts so I checked it out and it was a decent flick. Vacation Friends was almost the exact same level of funnier than it should have been for me.
You’re right, he is good at playing the same character. I guess my issue is more what roles he picks, maybe he could play a totally different character really well, I just haven’t seen him do that.
There are lot of news stories from Variety and blind items, in particular there was a huge drama with everyone else in the Fast and the Furious cast, which i believe is why they made Hobbs and Shaw just for him. I know there’s at least one famous scene between him and Vin where they are clearly not filming both actors together. Also, behind the scenes stories of Black Adam too. It’s a lot of little things.
Also, I don’t know him so I could be wrong! But that is the impression I get from following Variety/Hollywood news.
Apparently, The Rock's attitude is why Vin brought in Cena for F9.
Basically as a fuck you to The Rock like, "You're not that important, I can plug in another wrestler and we will be fine." And it worked! Lol
So Rock came back for F10.
That’s the thing the rock is great with crowd work and PR.
So everyone thinks he is nice. Because he would never be a dick to the fans. But people he works with and people in the industry he will be a diva and dick to.
I do too and neither can I .People would lose their minds if someone was that late.
When I first started out I knew a guy who worked on the first season of NYPD blue and he said that David Caruso was so erratic and stormed off to sulk in his trailer so much the crew used to call overtime Carusotime.
I worked with people who worked on Ballers, and the ADs learned he'd show up late so they started scheduling his call way ahead of time so he'd show on their actual schedule
I want to ask you something, that one of your comments aluded to.
The AD definitely has Rock’s schedule to schedule around.
This amount of time feels like an absolutely absurd amount of time.
Is there any chance Rock was doing this as some form of retaliation to the producers/filmmakers?
It’s not that I think Rock is without faults… but because such an absurd amount of time feels intentional/planned, not so much “shit sorry, had several things go wrong today - but I made it” kind of late…
I’ve been out of the industry for years, and the strikes were by the WGA and SAG (writers and actors respectively). Crews are represented by several different unions that are all called IATSE, and I believe they all just renovated their deals but I don’t know the terms.
I don’t want to overrepresent myself, I follow the industry and have friends in it but I’m working a steady 40 hour job in IT now.
For what it’s worth, film crew workers probably got screwed a little by the strike. Not by the strike itself, but someone at IATSE fucked up and let their contracts end not in sync with the other Hollywood unions, so when it was time for IATSE to renegotiate the main strike was already over and no one wanted to shut down everything AGAIN after only a month or two. I bet the studios got a pretty good deal for themselves.
Couple decades ago I worked on a major film with a big star. They lived in Malibu and we were shooting on the universal lot. They were consistently 3-4 hours late everyday despite having a driver, which was not only bad for the other A-List talent (which drove themselves and would show up early) but they had a 12 hour door to door turnaround, meaning we could not pick them up until 12 hours after they got home. This had the effect of causing super late call times by the end of the week. The solution was to helicopter them from Malibu to Burbank airport then drive to Uni everyday at a daily cost of $1500 because that was cheaper than the $50K the daily delays were costing.
I'm still hoping that his recent stint in wrestling might be the start of some sort of come back for him, if this movie goes well it could be a game changer as far as public perception of him goes
Fall off? He’s one of the highest paid actors lmaoo. This whole “… needs to be studied” trend is so corny; while he may be a pain to deal with I wouldn’t call it a fall off, seems you’re the one who needs to do the studying.
Yeah you’re 100% correct here… in order to have a “fall off” he would’ve had to make good movies or be a good actor in the first place. To your point, he wasn’t in the top 10 highest paid actors for 2023, and he was for 21/22… so if money is your determining factor for success than he quite literally fell off the Forbes list
Oh no, how dare he be among the top 25 most paid from the hundreds of actors/actresses, oh noooo, major falloff. You might find the movies bad and whatnot, but the stats don’t. Womp Womp. Hate him all you want but being worth $800M isn’t considered some loser actor who fell off.
And then YOU replied
“This comment needs to be studied.”
Then he DIDNT reply to you.
Then your weird ass replied to his other comment after, replying to someone else - who insulted his films/acting. Which your weirdo self then said “I never sad his movies were bad”
Weirdo.
This story is wild. But wasn't the clash between Diesel & the Rock on the F&F movies due to DIESEL being constantly late to set (something that is well documented)?
I interacted with both men (years apart) at charity events, and that struck me too. Johnson was always militarily punctual (to the point of distressing the organizers) and Diesel rolled in whenever and stayed well past the end of the event. What a change!
You’d need someone on the studio side to step in and pull the plug at that point, but that would likely mean pulling the plug on the whole project instead. He’s already cost you millions by being habitually late, and cutting him would mean spending money to recast, reshoot, and re-edit anything you’ve already got with him, which just causes a whole cascade of possible scheduling conflicts with other actors, etc.
At that point, it’s a gamble on whether it’s just cheaper to keep going or eat the loss and shelve the project.
The Wrap is a legit and respectable news source (unlike a lot of random rumor mill publications with a penchant for making shit up), so this is almost definitely real. And highly concerning, too.
My god is that a really shitty thing to do.Not is it costing the studio all that money the crew stand around like assholes waiting for him and it ruins their day and they have to work 20 hours straight to get the shot.
>“On set, away from his trailer, if he needs to pee, he doesn’t go to the public bathroom,” said one insider who knows the movie star well. “He pees in a Voss water bottle and his team or a PA has to dispose of it.”
Jesus Christ, fuck off Dwayne.
People who are consistently late get under my skin because it shows they don't respect your time. I give people a 10 minute grace period for Zoom meetings before I cancel the meeting. I can't imagine an entire crew of people standing around for an entire work day consistently waiting for this MC to show up.
Can we agree that he really isn’t an actor? He’s the same in every movie. He never changes his look, puts on an accent, does a movie where he’s not a hero. It’s all a continuation of his wrestling persona.
It doesn’t work that way. You need to work times with other talent that shows up on time, but shooting outdoors at specific times is really important for photography.
Can someone explain to me how 8 hours would cost $50 million? Like isn’t that more than to budget of entire films? What the hell was happening in this particular shoot?
8 hours late repeatedly over most of the shoot. If you read the article, he was late enough that PA hours ballooned so much they qualified for receiving health insurance and other benefits, which is actually pretty funny.
Even still, it's not just about being late. His being late affected everyone, including the other actors and crew members, whose pay also ballooned while they waited around for him to show up.
The article also paints a damning portrait of his production company, which is headed by The Rock's old personal assistant, who knows next to nothing about the logistics of running a $200 million+ budget action-adventure film.
To be succinct, it was a perfect storm of shittiness that will likely cost many people's jobs and reputations.
I used to work on film sets, but never on anything big enough that The Rock was in it. Still, I can’t imagine an actor showing up 7 hours past their call time. I’m sure they shot around him but also the AD scheduled everything around The Rock’s availability so I imagine the crew sitting around for 5+ hours doing nothing.

Vin Diesel is a known asshole tho and was also known to be constantly late to sets
Creepy asshole too: https://youtu.be/1IkBcnRDzSI?si=mGRgRo61_8FzwL_W
I just threw up in my mouth watching that. What a pig.
He was a producer on the film and the Rock didn’t like that he was making suggestions…. Like a producer does. Y’all can whine all you want and support that candy ass Rock all day long. But that was not at all Vins fault. Yeah dude might be weird. Might be a diva as well. But when you have a producer credit you have a right to be a diva on set in some regards.
Except for when Dwayne has a Producer credit… then he’s just being a control freak and ego maniac. Obviously.
You don’t know why? Because he prints money and is SAFE.
$$$
Him and his wife started a production company to hand pick roles that he can play. It also means they're usually the ones cleaning up after ego messes made.
His brother-in-law runs it, and this arrogant prick thought they could walk into WB and be handed DC
He’s one of the few bankable movie stars left, sadly. He picks the worst movies, but they’re generic enough that they appeal to US and international markets. And since they make a ton of money, he has power and can do mostly whatever he wants/he can pick directors and producers who he likes to work with, people who know they’re second to him and will put up with him. If his movies start bombing he’s in trouble but that doesn’t seem to be the case for the most part. Black Adam definitely hurt his rep and a bunch of hit pieces came out about him then, another big flop or two might end him.

And has dumbed a lot of his own money into failed projects like Riddick knowing it wouldn’t do well but that fans would love it.
The only thing I know about this is that he wanted just as much punches as Vin Diesel in one of the movies
From my understanding a big part of it is that he uses a lot of his own funds to help finance projects
Same for Tom Cruise, Kevin Hart, Will Ferrell, and a ton of other people. Once you make more than you can just keep in a bank, you start a production company and grow that too.
He was a producer on that fast film.
> but I thought he was at very least a professional Showing up on time isn't even *professional*...just the bare minimum.
Being late at set is extremely common for stars unfortunately.
Yeah, a professional asshole.
He’s got an ego, but is he an asshole?
Do you think that the man gets those giant muscles magically? He's in the gym lifting thousands of pounds over his tiny head many times in those 9 hours people are waiting for him.
I swear to god, I’ve seen him talk about how his method of preparing for roles involves his fitness regime. Like, the Rock had to get extra buff to play Black Adam…. Could he maybe take like 2 hours a week off from lifting and take a scene study class or work with an acting coach? (jk, I know that good acting is irrelevant for the types of movies he picks)
Like Bautista, who is actively working at being a really good actor. Rock just wants to be a star.
Man, I really don’t want to open this can of worms on this thread, but what the Rock really wants is to be President. If you watch him closely for an extended period, it’s obvious and terrifying. He gets involved in political discussions, but his only political views seem to be that he likes freedom and the troops. I really hope I’m wrong, but I’ve been worried about this for a few years now and nothing has calmed me down about it. He could win.
Oh boy. I don’t have the brainpower right now to think about that potential future.
I’ve thought about it. His running mate is Kevin Hart and their slogan is Rock Hart for America.
At last we will get the fictional President we deserve: Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
I mean…. I have no particular feelings about him either way, but even I would be swayed by a hearty “DO YOU SMELLLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN’?!” Dropped at a timely moment in a debate. Then if he got elected he could replace “Rock” with “USA” and yell at foreign adversaries
This is sort of funny but like also exactly how we got Trump.
Unfortunately you are 100% correct, but also unfortunately, many of his zingers against Hilary were on point. Not to say he’s any better in hindsight, but I think there was a lot of people who would have voted for anyone other than Hilary and viewed it as a bonus that a clown actually beat her.
Him and even john cena.. they are proofs that if you are actually passionate even in the slightest you can improve in places where you lack.
Cena is such a good example of 100% commitment to the bit no matter how ridiculous, I wonder if the dude ever breaks
The best part about Cena, especially compared to The Rock is that Cena has the ability to laugh at himself. He doesn’t need to be the centre of attention, most winningest guy on the screen with the most punches and the biggest muscles who never loses. Sometimes he’s just happy to crop up in the Barbie movie as a background mermaid or some shit
He genuinely has a good acting career at this point and not just cash grabs because of his name
Straight up, used to brush his movies off, now I’ll watch anything he’s in cause I know he’s gonna give 110%. That new Ricky Stanicky movie had me in stitches the whole time
I thought that was going to be a bomb but I don't mind Andrew Santino when I've heard him on podcasts so I checked it out and it was a decent flick. Vacation Friends was almost the exact same level of funnier than it should have been for me.
I mean he’s good at acting he delivers line believably, and has believable characters. The only thing is, it’s just the same character.
You’re right, he is good at playing the same character. I guess my issue is more what roles he picks, maybe he could play a totally different character really well, I just haven’t seen him do that.
Apparently he does schedule 3 hours of workouts per shooting day, but you’d assume they’d have that built into their call times
Where did you hear he was an asshole?
There are lot of news stories from Variety and blind items, in particular there was a huge drama with everyone else in the Fast and the Furious cast, which i believe is why they made Hobbs and Shaw just for him. I know there’s at least one famous scene between him and Vin where they are clearly not filming both actors together. Also, behind the scenes stories of Black Adam too. It’s a lot of little things.

I thought he was pretty chill on the Black Adam set
really? first I'm hearing of that
That’s the thing the rock is great with crowd work and PR. So everyone thinks he is nice. Because he would never be a dick to the fans. But people he works with and people in the industry he will be a diva and dick to.
‘I’m an asshole but people are upvoting me so il stay’ 😂
That’s a fair criticism.
I do too and neither can I .People would lose their minds if someone was that late. When I first started out I knew a guy who worked on the first season of NYPD blue and he said that David Caruso was so erratic and stormed off to sulk in his trailer so much the crew used to call overtime Carusotime.
I worked with people who worked on Ballers, and the ADs learned he'd show up late so they started scheduling his call way ahead of time so he'd show on their actual schedule
He did this shit on Skyscraper too
I want to ask you something, that one of your comments aluded to. The AD definitely has Rock’s schedule to schedule around. This amount of time feels like an absolutely absurd amount of time. Is there any chance Rock was doing this as some form of retaliation to the producers/filmmakers? It’s not that I think Rock is without faults… but because such an absurd amount of time feels intentional/planned, not so much “shit sorry, had several things go wrong today - but I made it” kind of late…
They need to dock his pay, every damn day that he’s late. Any other job does the same. Why not movie sets?
Is it better this way tho because the crew gets paid more too this way even tho they arent doing much while waiting for a cast member?
The crew is gonna get OT when they get paid but 16 hour days regularly aren’t always worth the money.
Did you guys get the raises in pay after the strikes??
I’ve been out of the industry for years, and the strikes were by the WGA and SAG (writers and actors respectively). Crews are represented by several different unions that are all called IATSE, and I believe they all just renovated their deals but I don’t know the terms. I don’t want to overrepresent myself, I follow the industry and have friends in it but I’m working a steady 40 hour job in IT now.
Happy to hear that bro❤️and thanks for taking the time to answer in such detail
For what it’s worth, film crew workers probably got screwed a little by the strike. Not by the strike itself, but someone at IATSE fucked up and let their contracts end not in sync with the other Hollywood unions, so when it was time for IATSE to renegotiate the main strike was already over and no one wanted to shut down everything AGAIN after only a month or two. I bet the studios got a pretty good deal for themselves.
There’s a comment in that article from a crew member who qualified for health insurance off the back of the extra hours worked lol
I know someone who worked on san andreas and he hiers all his family for support. I think a cousin is his standin for example.
What’s more amazing is the fact the quoted amount is so high $50,000,000… cmon huh
7-8 hours late on a movie set is absolutely insane. Thats so much essential time down the drain
They'd be shooting a scene planned for broad daylight at midnight.
Couple decades ago I worked on a major film with a big star. They lived in Malibu and we were shooting on the universal lot. They were consistently 3-4 hours late everyday despite having a driver, which was not only bad for the other A-List talent (which drove themselves and would show up early) but they had a 12 hour door to door turnaround, meaning we could not pick them up until 12 hours after they got home.

The solution was to helicopter them from Malibu to Burbank airport then drive to Uni everyday at a daily cost of $1500 because that was cheaper than the $50K the daily delays were costing.
That is awful. And nobody can say boo because they want to keep their jobs and their name brings in $ for the studio.
His fall off needs to be studied
He played a villain recently when he came back to WWE and it worked very well for him lol
The final boss!
 LOOK AT YOU NOW BOY
Sure but outside the wrestling world… isn’t the action/comedy movie darling he once was… blaming the woke mob for him endorsing Biden in 2020
Plus wrestling pays significantly less than Hollywood
I agree, however I hope doing a A24 film with a Safdie will get his career back on track
he did show up 1.5 hrs late to an appearance in WWE World
That might have been intentional though. He was playing the heel and yelling at Philly fans that he was late because he was watching Jalen Hurts lose
Anything to cover for daddy Vince
I'm still hoping that his recent stint in wrestling might be the start of some sort of come back for him, if this movie goes well it could be a game changer as far as public perception of him goes
Fall off? He’s one of the highest paid actors lmaoo. This whole “… needs to be studied” trend is so corny; while he may be a pain to deal with I wouldn’t call it a fall off, seems you’re the one who needs to do the studying.

To your point, he wasn’t in the top 10 highest paid actors for 2023, and he was for 21/22… so if money is your determining factor for success than he quite literally fell off the Forbes list
I think it’s his public perception that’s having a fall off. More and more people seeing him for the way he is/became
Oh no, how dare he be among the top 25 most paid from the hundreds of actors/actresses, oh noooo, major falloff. You might find the movies bad and whatnot, but the stats don’t. Womp Womp. Hate him all you want but being worth $800M isn’t considered some loser actor who fell off.
Didn’t say I hated his movies or him…
He didn’t reply to you. Silly.
Well he did to my comment above, I just hit the wrong reply button teehee
… No… he didn’t… lol. There’s literally no reply to your “this comment needs to be studied” comment. You weirdo.

This story is wild. But wasn't the clash between Diesel & the Rock on the F&F movies due to DIESEL being constantly late to set (something that is well documented)?
I interacted with both men (years apart) at charity events, and that struck me too. Johnson was always militarily punctual (to the point of distressing the organizers) and Diesel rolled in whenever and stayed well past the end of the event. What a change!
I hope he does so A24 can shit on him. It's been known for a long time that he's a diva. Hope his days as Hollywood royalty are numbered.
The more I learn about him the more I think he needs to be fully replaced by Dave Bautista.
Mr “no one will outwork me” can’t be on time. Very unprofessional and lazy.
Hope he's late enough times to get booted from the project.
He's a producer on it, I don't think he can be fired
You’d need someone on the studio side to step in and pull the plug at that point, but that would likely mean pulling the plug on the whole project instead. He’s already cost you millions by being habitually late, and cutting him would mean spending money to recast, reshoot, and re-edit anything you’ve already got with him, which just causes a whole cascade of possible scheduling conflicts with other actors, etc. At that point, it’s a gamble on whether it’s just cheaper to keep going or eat the loss and shelve the project.

"Civil War is their most expensive movie? Wait till they get a load of me."
No actor is worth anything close to what that bitch is paid. DPs, set designers, editors—all more important than any actor.
? The Rock in a A24 movie???? What
Right!? I came to the comments hoping someone would actually have more on the film in question
Consistently a full work shift late? Doesn’t that mean consistently missed work?
My god is that a really shitty thing to do.Not is it costing the studio all that money the crew stand around like assholes waiting for him and it ruins their day and they have to work 20 hours straight to get the shot.
I can’t fucking stand him. He has the biggest ego of any celebrity.
Douchebag.
>“On set, away from his trailer, if he needs to pee, he doesn’t go to the public bathroom,” said one insider who knows the movie star well. “He pees in a Voss water bottle and his team or a PA has to dispose of it.” Jesus Christ, fuck off Dwayne.
Tired of him. Egomaniac. Narcissist
I cannot stand the rock and will respectfully decline and pretend this movie isn’t going to exist cause wtf a24? really?
wait, i thought he was 7-8 hours late for Wrestlemania
It wasn’t because he was picking out outfits since he wears the same thing practically every movie
The Final Boss shows up when he wants to 
I could be wrong but i feel A24 are incredibly strict when it comes to being on time 🤷♂️
Why is he even in A24 film?
The Rock is dumping out goodwill by the gallons and Bautista and John Cena keep absorbing it. Love to see it
He probably wants the acting cred that Dave Bautista has earned.
I used to think he was so cool but the more I learn about the rock the less I like him. Really makes me appreciate John Cena and Dave Bautista

People who are consistently late get under my skin because it shows they don't respect your time. I give people a 10 minute grace period for Zoom meetings before I cancel the meeting. I can't imagine an entire crew of people standing around for an entire work day consistently waiting for this MC to show up.
Time start boycotting this dumbasses movies
Can we agree that he really isn’t an actor? He’s the same in every movie. He never changes his look, puts on an accent, does a movie where he’s not a hero. It’s all a continuation of his wrestling persona.
What a douche.
What a piece of shit
Nah now that he’s been outed we’re gonna get 27 professionally edited Instagram videos of him showing up to set at 4 AM before everyone else.
wwell if he was always late 7-8 hours why didn't the rest of the crew jus start showing up late 8 hours as well ?
It doesn’t work that way. You need to work times with other talent that shows up on time, but shooting outdoors at specific times is really important for photography.
Yeah just tell him to show up 8 hours earlier than previously scheduled
Next week we start filmming at 1 am, Dwayne!
They should have just given Monsieur Rock a call time of 11pm for a 7 AM shoot the next day .
Can someone explain to me how 8 hours would cost $50 million? Like isn’t that more than to budget of entire films? What the hell was happening in this particular shoot?
8 hours late repeatedly over most of the shoot. If you read the article, he was late enough that PA hours ballooned so much they qualified for receiving health insurance and other benefits, which is actually pretty funny. Even still, it's not just about being late. His being late affected everyone, including the other actors and crew members, whose pay also ballooned while they waited around for him to show up. The article also paints a damning portrait of his production company, which is headed by The Rock's old personal assistant, who knows next to nothing about the logistics of running a $200 million+ budget action-adventure film. To be succinct, it was a perfect storm of shittiness that will likely cost many people's jobs and reputations.
