I agree that while I do like Scott, the acting in most of his movies isn't very good. BUT that's because pretty much all his movies (with the exception of Expedables 2) were low budget action flicks.

Nope that title belong to Kellan Lutz and Taylor Launter
Lara Croft Himiko! The First Sun Queen! This is Yamatai.

That's the thing though. He loves doing action movies. So he sees no reason to branch out.

I wonder if Scott will try diffrent roles when hes older like Van Damme and a few others are doing

I do like the Rock as a wrestler and do like a lot of his movie,but I do feel like hes a pretty limited actor,I think his best performance was in Gridiron Gang I would like to see him try more roles like that

Dwayne Johnson is actually a pretty good actor. People just go in biased because he's The Rock. A wrestler.

agreed, except for Jet. Jet is no Chow yun fatt, but he can act ok. Especially in fearless/Huo Yuanjia.

Ninja 2 is a tricky movie. I can't really tell if it's a bad movie or a good movie made to look bad a'la 80's style. The action is awesome, but the rest is very cheesy. Scott's acting is not at his usual standard - don't you think?
Haven't seen Hercules yet - I've read some bad reviews that doesn't sound promising, but I'll watch anyway - just for some Scott-action.

I saw Ninja 2,that was an awesome movie and his acting was not terrible.I am not going to watch Legendary,Yeah It stars Scott and Dolph but I hear there is really no action and some of my friends have told me that GSH3 is not a good movie to watch,I usually watch movies that get bad reviews out of curiosity,but they told it is not a movie I should watch. Have you seen Hercules? Scott's acting in that movie is good,he is a way better actor than Lutz,I really wish he had more screen time.I think he would make a good Hercules in a movie that has a good script

Now its been turned upside down
Do You Think ITs Just a phase I'm going through

Academy award or not - the acting have to be better than what he performs in these three. You can return with an answer when you've seen them.

OK i have seen a lot of his movies but not those yet,but i will probably see those movies eventually but like i said i watch his movies for action not an academy award winning performance if the action is good i will be happy

That is not an answer to my question.

I watch Scott Adkins and Steven Seagal films for action not because they are going to give an academy award winning performance,if i want that i will stick to Jack Nicholson,Al Pacino and Robert De Niro films,but when i watch a movie with Adkins or Seagal i want to see explosions,shootouts and fight scenes.

Have you even seen those movies?

If somebody considers his acting good in those movies that just means that person has a different opinion than you that does not make him wrong,if you don't like Adkins as an actor that is fine. I think he is alright he won't win any academy awards but he is fine and people are saying he is the only good thing in the Hercules movie

Dude If you consider his acting in those three movies to be good, you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Verily I say unto theeI imagine there are people who complained that Al Pacino was a poor martial artist too.

I don't know what happened to him.
I mean, up until 2013, he did alright with his acting skills, but after that it just was gone.
In Ninja 2, GSH3 and Legendary his performance/acting was just horrible.
WTF went wrong?! I hope this "trend" doesn't continue.

Horrible idk. Bad certainly.

Cool story, brah
