Viewers generally relish 'The Rock' for its thrilling blend of action, humor, and drama. The charismatic duo of Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage is frequently praised, enhancing the film's appeal with their dynamic performances. While some find the movie a nostalgic piece from the 90s, others appreciate its ability to still entertain with suspense and well-timed comedy. However, a few feel it has aged and doesn't hold up on rewatching.
