Stallone is NOT such a bad actor!

 

And for the bold selections.... WHAT THE HELL???? Are you blind or something, do you even know what a bad performance is???? Honnestly, I don't think so!

 

Cobra is a cool movie in which Stallone is such a styly man and he gives to us such a very subtle performance!!! VERY far from being a bad performance.... By far better than any crappier performances that Arnold Schwarzenegger EVER gave to us!!! And this is just a medium performance by Sly, but very styly and subtle! Not a masterpiece, but by far better than every Schwarzenegger's movies except the first 2 Terminators which are the ONLY good Schwarzenegger's movies!

 

Over the Top is a touching movie and Sly gives to us a touching performance, I cannot even believe that is possible to bash him for this touching and inspiring movie in which Stallone plays a father who wants to have his son back!

 

I won't give my opinion for every movies I selected, but just try to make you understand why I think you've wrong!

 

Now, I understand that you guys love "Rocky 1". You doesn't? It's a entertaining movie, it's an inspiring movie, it's a classic movie. However, since then, Stallone's career has been one-note. In a role in which he plays a down on this luck, wannabe boxer without a bright future, I can understand why it would be okay for him to play a mumbling, look of confusion on his face at all times, simpleton. However, he seems to carry that same mumbling speech pattern and look of confusion into every other movie he did since then. And considering I listed 24 of his worst movies and out of those 24, you could only point out 10 good ones (or at least "not that bad" ones), that's not a good track record either, in fact, it looks kinda polarizing.

 

I have nothing against you guys or your opinions. But let's be real. Stallone is not the greatest actor to ever live, he's not on par with Robert De Niro. Sure, his movies might be "entertaining", but "entertaining" doesn't always mean "good". And I even agreed last year, when the Razzies were heavily considering Razzing Sly for the millionth time for "Rambo 4", I stepped in to said "Okay, guys, you Razzed him 10 times already. You should move on; you have bigger fish to fry". Sure enough, the Sly Guy didn't make it to the final round of that year.

 

So guys, I respect your opinions, but don't be going around saying that the rest of us don't know what we're talking about. We've either studied film all our lives or we currently work in film in some form or another. So I think we are going to know best about what a bad movie is, and that is why these awards exist in the first place. Thank you, and have a nice day. 

Watched the clip -- I heard a lot of double negatives, and Stallone apparently trying to motivate people to ... punch other people out with their fists?  

Originally posted by scoobs23 The video was directed towards the poster I quoted.  I could care less whether or not your opinion will change or not. If it's all the same to you, I'd like to put down what I have to say on this topic, just as you did. I'm obviously of the minority on this board, and regardless of what either of us say, neither of us will change our views. We'll just end up going around in circles making this discussion pointless, which sounds like endless amounts of fun.

 

Frankly, I think all Stallone fans are just so blinded by their beloved memories of "Rocky" that they refuse to see that EVERYTHING else he has made has been hit or miss. But that's just my opinion.
