Why oh why oh why (spells yoyo - hehe - Soccer am will be back soon!)do people insist on jumping on the 'Lets pick on Stallones new film' bandwagon?
He is still a very talented writer and actor.
During the eighties Stallone v Scwarzenegger thing ,i always voted Stallone,as he is able to say more than ten lines per film.
I also have no difficulty understanding him ,which is another thing people take the mickey out of.
Take 'Driven' for example. What a thoroughly enjoyable action movie.
Fast car action with plenty of good noise and effects.A decent story,and a good cast.
But,no just 'cause it's Stallone,lets say the crashes are too unreal,for goodness sake,it's a movie.
Then theres D-Tox.
If this movie had starred Bruce Willis or John Travolta ,then i am absolutely certain that this would have been in the years top 10 movies.
Excellent storyline ,excellent cast so why did it only spend one week at my local cinema?
Because it starred Stallone.
Do people not appreciate this mans talent?
Why on earth does it seem that the world has turned against one of the most important figures in cinemas history?
Look what he's given us.
I'm not going to say because you already know what he's given us,and you know how influential they have been.
So why?

Because.
It's 'the thing to do'!?
I can't beleive you enjoyed Driven but each to their own.
There.

> Judge Dredd was just dire.
What?! Judge Dredd kicked butt!
;)
Let's start with action movies.
Watch Spiderman and either of the first two batman films. That is why Stallone sucks at action movies.
Then try something a little more upmarket. A little bit of Scorcese, Goodfellas maybe... That is why Stallone just plain sucks.
Then go for a good movie like the Evil Dead, Barton Fink (if you're feeling adventurous) and maybe even something a little bit challenging like Requiem for a Dream.
That is why Stallone sucks. And his films suck. And they should never under any circumstances make the list of the best ten films of the year, because they never ever will be.
Driven was drivel. It is one of the worst films I have seen. It was crap, painful to watch, and just bad beyond the capabilities of language to express its all-encompassing crapness.
Oh yeah.....what about Over The Top? That was reasonable!
