Well, personally I agree with you... I have a real hard time with the American Celebrity Worship mentality but that is what I kept on reading online about The Rock.
I never actually liked any of his movies because even if they are to be silly, action goofiness, I need a good cast that sells that... his wooden, always-the-same, performance was just boring. His are the type of movies I would not pause to go to the bathroom. However, this is a matter of taste and everybody can have their own and no need to justify them
Having said that, I was very willing to be less critical of his work when I thought he was a nice guy to his fans... now that I know he is yet another self-centered diva, I couldn't care less if he retires and never makes another film
