Dwayne Johnson’s First Lead Movie Hits Netflix, But Does It Hold Up?
In my journey as a fan, I first encountered Dwayne Johnson on the big screen in “The Mummy Returns,” where he portrayed a character known as The Rock, albeit with a surprisingly small screen presence given his role as the villain. As Mathayus of Akkad, I witnessed one of the earliest and perhaps most awkward instances of CGI in film history. Despite this, viewers seemed to appreciate his screen presence, a charisma that had been honed over years in the wrestling ring. Before long, he was catapulted into the role of a leading man the following year.
