Top 10 Best Dwayne Johnson Movies

Ironically, his best performance comes without appearing on screen. As the voice of the demigod Maui in Disney's Moana, Johnson is at his very best. He sings the catchy hit 'You're Welcome' and gives the character real depth. It's a tribute to his Polynesian roots, showing that his charisma can win over millions even through an animated character.

When Johnson made his entrance as Luke Hobbs in Fast Five, he gave the series a huge energy boost. He was the perfect adversary for Vin Diesel and brought an intensity that took the franchise to a higher level. He became so popular that he even got his own spin-off.

The film that proved Johnson can carry a billion-dollar franchise. He plays the avatar of an insecure nerd in a video game, and the joke of the huge, muscular Johnson behaving like a scared teenager works perfectly. With Jack Black and Kevin Hart, it's one of the most entertaining adventure films of recent years.

Often overlooked, but an absolute favorite among fans. Johnson plays a bounty hunter searching the Brazilian jungle for his boss' son. The action is creative and the humor sharp. There's even a legendary cameo by Arnold Schwarzenegger, symbolically passing the torch to Johnson as the new king of action.

Without this film, Johnson's career would have looked very different. As Mathayus, he got his first real lead role in this sword-and-sandal epic, a prequel to The Mummy series. The effects feel dated now, but the young Johnson's charisma leaps off the screen.

Pairing Dwayne Johnson with Kevin Hart proved a bullseye. Johnson plays a CIA agent who was bullied as a teenager. The roles are reversed: the muscleman loves unicorns and fanny packs, while little Hart plays it straight. Their dynamic is golden.

For those who think Johnson only does explosive blockbusters, Snitch is a must. In this serious drama, he plays a father who goes undercover in the dangerous drug world to keep his son out of prison. No superhero stunts or silly jokes, just a raw film about an ordinary man in an impossible situation.

Perhaps the most surprising role of his early career. Johnson plays Elliot Wilhelm, a gay bodyguard desperate to break through as an actor. He sings, dances and plays with his own macho image, showing a vulnerable, hilarious side we saw less of in his later action roles.

In this old-fashioned Disney adventure, Johnson plays riverboat captain Frank Wolff. Based on a theme park ride, the film feels like a fresh take on classics like Indiana Jones thanks to the chemistry between Johnson and Emily Blunt. His dad jokes make him incredibly likable.

In this funny spy film, Johnson shows he can carry a supporting role as Agent 23, the tough, highly competent top agent up against the bumbling lead. It was one of the first times audiences saw that Johnson was more than just a powerhouse from the ring.

In this A24 biopic, Johnson delivers his most transformative role ever as MMA legend Mark Kerr, alongside Emily Blunt.

Johnson is back as the voice of the demigod Maui in this sequel to the hugely popular Disney animated film.
