Yeah, I think he's like 6'3" to 6'5" or so
There's no way he's 6'5" based upon that picture unless something weird is going on. Barkley is 6'6".
That's what he's billed at. I've never stood next to any of them, so I couldn't tell you for sure

He was listed on Miami's roster as 6'5" so I bet he is 6'3" or so.

Camera angles can play tricks on the mind. Here is a better picture that doesn't make The Rock look so tiny.



Also, I think the Rock is slightly hunched, where Barkley is standing straight. My bet is that The Rock is just slightly over 6'5 where Barkley is closer to 6'7. Also, The Rock is much slimmer, so when compared to Barkley and Shaq, he just looks way smaller.

Whalberg is 5'8" and chuck is 6'6". That looks right with about 10" difference.

Based on that the rock is about 6'2" maybe 6'3" at best.

Football roster says 6'5. Fudging height happens in sports, but mainly basketball.

Really?

Thought the funniest bits of TSWSM were just recycled gags from IMOM

Speaking of spy movies- From Russia with Love is much better than Dr. No.

he doesn't look 5" taller than John Cena (who is apparently 6'0)



or 6'0 Vin Diesel



or 7" taller than 5'10 Jason Statham



However, he does appear to be only a couple inches shorter than 6'7 Hulk Hogan

Then again, we know Pres. Obama is 6'1 because of his physical results while in office.

Many wrestlers wear lifts to appear taller in the ring.

True, but Dr. No was the trailblazer.

Apart from maybe Goldeneye, the 1960's Bond movies are my favorites. Maybe because it was Connery at his coolest. Look at this run:

Dr. No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball
You Only Live Twice

Bond movies are a special case. Except for the Craig ones, they really aren't sequels with each other in the strictest sense. Dr. No and FRWL follow the tone of the books more, while Goldfinger is the one that established the template that all Bond movies would follow until Craig's Casino Royale. So, in a sense, one would have to argue that Thunderball is a better movie than Goldfinger. I won't claim that. Moreover, one could argue that Thunderball itself has "sequels" because of the conflicts over the story rights. Is Never Say Never Again better than Thunderball? Nope. #BondNerd

Call me crazy, I think the second GOTG is better than the first.


Bumping this because I just saw both 1 and 2 and I agree.

Not sure how I missed out on both these films when they first came out. I think I just assumed the GOTG films were Marvels efforts to cater to Star Wars fanboys. Turns out that was a horrible take. Both were fantastic, probably the best of the Marvel movies.

I give 2 the nod over 1, mainly because 2 made 1 even better by tying up several story lines.
