Love Peacemaker but it's Bautista hands down.

John Cena and Dave Bautista can both be hilarious comedic actors. I'd give John the edge in the being the funnier of the two. But I've also seen Dave play serious, sweet, dramatic, even menacing. Hell he was basically all 4 of those in Knock at the Cabin, alone. Dude has got range.

Dwayne Johnson is good at playing Dwayne Johnson™.

his comedic chops seems really good in the movie named "the rundown"

Yeah, I do feel like early acting career Dwayne had more range. More recently he is just the rock in various settings, wardrobes and occasional wigs. It's probably not even entirely his fault though. Presumably the producers and directors are telling him to be this way. He's been typecast as the same stereotypical cocky macho guy over and over. And don't get me wrong, he's still funny sometimes. But he is still just portraying basically himself, most of the time.

I forget his name but far left, but he is amazing in Glass Onion

[–] SilverFlame@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure thats Dave Bautista. I know him as Drax from Marvel

[–] Athena5898@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah that's right

Rowdy Roddy Piper, not only for his performance in John Carpenter’s “They Live”, one of my favorite movies, but also his portrayal of the multi-layered and powerful character of “Da Maniac”. RIP

No mention of his portrayal of Sam Hell in the classic movie Hell Comes to Frog Town? For shame.

Bautista is a pretty amazing dramatic actor when given the chance

I love the hell out of Cena's Peacemaker performance, but if you forced me to pick between those two it's gonna be Big Dave.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I mean Dave and John are so Mich better then the rock.

[–] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 3 points 3 months ago

Definitely a category error including him.

There are way worst actors as these 3 . All 3 with quite endearing films

[–] Maven@piefed.zip 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

2 fantastic films and Black Adam

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

I mean could you imagine the rock picking a naked guy up and twirling him around.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Where is Mr Savage? Bonesaw is missing. Need more Macho Man.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

This is cheating because 2 of the 3 are invisible
