The_Munchmaster Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Due to Old Hippies comments that all Sly Stallone movies are crap (except the first Rocky) I feel compelled to poll the board members as to the crapness of one of my favourite movies. C'mon members, prove him wrong. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lazyphil Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 first blood is a classic but maybe its all nostalgia based from my childhood. i love westerns but they dont tell the truth of the real american west but they entertain me and thats what i demand, to be entertained at the movies not educated, at least not primarally.

khunsanuk Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi, Rather enjoyed it as well. Was also very pleasantly surprised by Rocky Balboa. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 1st Rocky yes, all others crap. This discussion hardly belongs in the art and culture section, as these "movies" have no artistic value, and hardly pass as culture! Of course the practice of Hollywood of catering to the lowest common denominator in entertainment mass appeal no doubt plays in here. Stallone is a hack, Rambo sucks chunks and anyone disagreeing with me is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian2 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I automatically clicked "good" but then regretted not choosing "excellent". My problem was I read the book first, and it was really excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 The first Rocky was oustanding (Oscar for best picture). The screen play was written by Stallone himself. I can't distinguish the others but they are grade B flicks I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I chose CRAP The book was top draw but the movie did not live up to it, I think "First Blood" was the first adult novel my father made / let me read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torneyboy Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yep ..agree the first Rocky was a good movie :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yeah, frankly, I was surprised that the subsequent Rocky movies were such crap compared to the first one. Just sort of an over worked theme or something. The Characters were good, and Burgess merideth was great as Mic. I didn't bother with the last Rocky flick.
