10/31/2020 11:47 pm EDT
Tributes and praise for Connery flooded out throughout the day Saturday. Once news spread, many took to social media to deliver words of thanks and memories of Connery's films. The Rock was at the top of many people's lists.
The film holds a special place for Connery fans, right next to his role as Harrison Ford's father in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. Both held a gold spot near fan's hearts, with these two offering examples.
The Rock stands as a favorite for a lot of people. It's the start of a string of films where Nicolas Cage was the top action star in the nation. It's Michael Bay before his explosions got too big for audiences to handle. And it's Connery without any frills.
Connery's long career didn't matter to most. While they loved his early movies, including James Bond, The Rock stands out for a lot of fans.
Connery's passing also brought out a lot of the attracted fans from across his career. Despite his advanced age at the time, Connery could still make hearts flutter. The Rock landed in that sweet spot.
Some fans clearly wanted one more film from Connery after The Rock. They got a few, but his final films would be far from the praise that The Rock gained. Many would rather remember him for The Rock and Bond over The League of Extraordinary Gentleman.
