The Rock defends Baywatch flick after dismal US reviews

Dwayne Johnson has taken to Twitter to defend his latest movie.

Ok, it may not be getting any Oscars, but to be fair we don't think that's what it set out to do.

Usually, when movies don't do well, actors tend to keep silent and move on to the next project. The Rock though does not take kindly to criticism, and he's taken to Twitter to voice his opinion on the negative reviews; The Rock though does not take kindly to criticism, and he's taken to Twitter to voice his opinion;

We think he's got a good point... sometimes you just need to laugh and have fun! If you're saving the world in tiny red shorts while having a good time, more power to you! Previews of Baywatch hit Irish screens tomorrow.
