The Rock is actually really good at what he does. Yes, his movies can be ridiculously stupid. Yes, he looks like a plastic action figure come to life. But he always has a believability in his roles. Despite his size, he never seems cartoony like Ahnold used to. There's always an aspect to his roles that doesn't have to do with his size. "Jumanji", he plays it as an awkward kid in a giant body. "Tooth Fairy", it's his connection to kids. "Journey 2", it's his attempts to be a father figure. In this film, it looks like it's his bond with animals. "Witch Mountain", again he's acting with kids and pulling it off. He seems like a very down to earth guy despite his size and fame and that carries over into his roles. Honestly, if you have a free minute, watch "Tooth Fairy". Stupidest damn premise for a film ever, and the guy pulls it off. He never takes himself too seriously. He'll never win an Oscar for Best Actor but he's always entertaining and watchable, which is more than you can say for a lot of serious actors.
