A lot can happen in the space of two decades. For example, someone could\u00a0conceivably go from\u00a0the most electrifying man in sports entertainment to a tooth fairy before eventually ending up as one of the most marketable performers<\/a> in the world. Considering\u00a0he made his\u00a0Hollywood debut in a movie that saw the actor share his screentime with a CGI monstrosity called the Scorpion King, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has certainly done well for himself.<\/p>\n

A throwback to classic action heroes from the ’80s<\/a>, Johnson has the charisma and muscles to bring the crowds to theatres. The actor has become a mainstay of modern summer blockbusters, movies that might\u00a0not win any Oscars but\u00a0tend to make bank at the box office. On February 16, 2021,\u00a0Young Rock\u00a0<\/em>will debut on NBC; in celebration of the sitcom’s release, here are Dwayne Johnson’s highest-rated movies on Metacritic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Jumanji: The Next Level (58%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Jumanji: The Next Level\u00a0<\/em>attempts to\u00a0answer a question that has been plaguing people since the dawn of the century: What would happen if Danny DeVito and The Rock<\/a> were to switch bodies? While the\u00a0film does not answer that exact question, it has a blast exploring its possibilities.<\/p>\n

Similar to its predecessor,\u00a0The Next Level\u00a0<\/em>follows a group of students (and two older gentlemen)\u00a0as they are sucked into the world of the Jumanji game. A lighthearted blockbuster with plenty of memorable action sequences and funny moments,\u00a0Jumanji: The Next Level\u00a0<\/em>is an enjoyable way to spend two hours.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (58%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The thought of a\u00a0Jumanji\u00a0<\/em>sequel coming out without the involvement of Robin Williams might have left many people skeptical, but\u00a0Welcome to the Jungle\u00a0<\/em>proved plenty of doubters wrong. Cast against type, Johnson’s turn as a scrawny teenager portraying an over-the-top adventure hero produces plenty of hilarious moments.<\/p>\n

By this point in his career, Johnson’s brand of endlessly endearing one-liners, charming goofiness, and larger-than-life heroics had been well established. While\u00a0Welcome to the Jungle\u00a0<\/em>does play around with expectations, it ultimately still adheres to the actor’s strengths.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>The Rundown (59%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

An argument could be made that\u00a0The Rundown\u00a0<\/em>is the most important film in The Rock’s catalog, as it served as an early showcase of the actor’s potential as a bankable action movie star. Projects like\u00a0The Mummy Returns\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Doom<\/em> didn’t do much to elevate Johnson’s stock, but\u00a0The Rundown\u00a0<\/em>genuinely worked as an odd couple road trip movie.<\/p>\n

Seann William Scott and Dwayne Johnson bounce off each other extremely well, with the former delivering most of the laughs and the latter handling the more explosive moments.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (60%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The first of many\u00a0Fast & Furious\u00a0<\/em>projects featured in this countdown,\u00a0Hobbs & Shaw\u00a0<\/em>is a spin-off focusing on Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s characters. Even in a franchise that has no qualms with embracing the ludicrous and cartoonish,\u00a0Hobbs & Shaw\u00a0<\/em>is extraordinarily bombastic, almost to a fault.<\/p>\n

Together, Johnson and Statham produce enough electricity to light up the western hemisphere, but\u00a0Hobbs & Shaw\u00a0<\/em>seldom pauses to give the actors a chance to catch their breath and just banter. While sporadically entertaining, this film is also exhausting.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Fast & Furious 6 (61%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dwayne Johnson’s Luke Hobbs was such a hit in\u00a0Fast Five<\/em><\/a>, the sequel simply had to bring him back into the fold.\u00a0Fast & Furious 6\u00a0<\/em>boils down to a collection of insane stunts, tepid speeches about family, and somewhat endearing humor. While not likely to change anyone’s life, this 2013 film more than delivers in the type of entertainment expected of it.<\/p>\n

Vin Diesel’s Dom might still be the center of attention, but Hobbs works well as something of a secondary protagonist.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>The Other Guys (64%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A\u00a0parody of buddy cop movies,\u00a0The Other Guys\u00a0<\/em>fittingly cast Samuel L. Jackson<\/a> and Dwayne Johnson as the ultimate action heroes. Known for saving the day and leaving chaos in their wake, Detectives Highsmith and Danson are walking cliches of the\u00a0Last Action Hero<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>variety.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Every Predator Movie, Ranked By Rotten Tomatoes<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

While Highsmith and Danson do not last too long in the film, they still manage to leave quite an impression, even if it is mostly on\u00a0a road’s\u00a0pavement. While The Rock had a few blockbusters under his belt,\u00a0The Other Guys\u00a0<\/em>actually came out before he had truly cemented himself as this generation’s default action star.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Fast Five (66%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dwayne Johnson’s Hollywood career can be divided into two: pre and post-Fast Five<\/em>. Released in 2011,\u00a0Fast Five\u00a0<\/em>introduced Johnson’s Luke Hobbs, an agent looking to put Dominic Toretto behind bars. In the\u00a0franchise’s universe, Hobbs proves to be a great foil for Dom, a person who can match the protagonist in terms of dedication and power; on-screen, Johnson very much feels like Vin Diesel’s equal.<\/p>\n

For Fast<\/em> Five<\/em>, the franchise\u00a0<\/em>ditches any pretense of realism and just becomes a full-blown cartoon; in fact, there is even Wonder Woman<\/a> in it.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Furious 7 (67%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Released following the untimely passing of Paul Walker, Furious 7<\/em>‘s unfiltered insanity is underpinned by an emotional core that is fully exposed during the film’s final moments. This time, Jason Statham’s Shaw serves as the villain, and he shares one of the best scenes in the movie with Johnson’s Hobbs.<\/p>\n

Hobbs spends\u00a0large stretches of the story on the sidelines, although he does manage to flex his way back into the narrative by the time the third act rolls around.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Fighting with My Family (68%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Portraying himself in a biopic about Saraya-Jade “Paige” Bevis, a WWE wrestler<\/a> who grew up in a wrestling family, The Rock’s time on screen is quite brief as he only appears in a handful of short scenes. Ultimately, this makes sense as Fighting with My Family\u00a0<\/em>is not Dwayne Johnson’s story; however,\u00a0his\u00a0involvement certainly helped bring this project to life.<\/p>\n

Fighting with My Family\u00a0<\/em>is a must-watch for anyone remotely interested in WWE or wrestling, while\u00a0those looking for a well-acted sports drama can certainly do much worse than this film.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Moana (81%)<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In 2016, Dwayne Johnson appeared as the demigod Maui in\u00a0Moana<\/em>, a role he was seemingly born to portray. Maui is not a conventional Disney character<\/a> as he cannot be readily categorized as a hero or villain, making him one of the more complex personas in mainstream western animation.<\/p>\n

The Rock delivers a charming and nuanced performance as the demigod, proving himself to be quite capable as a voice actor. The use of animation also allows Johnson to\u00a0more effortlessly lose himself\u00a0in the role than in some of his live-action productions.<\/p>\n
