I beg to ask... is Stallone going through a midlife crisis? - Blu-ray Forum

flipsyde2000 · 11-04-2007, 11:46 PM

Ok so I recently went to see Saw IV... Awesome movie by the way... However I saw a preview for Rambo. I think the idea behind this is just retarded. Seems to me like stallone just can't let go. Rocky and Rambo were both good series, but seriously when your 61 years old do you really need to reprise these rolls. I'll give some credit that Rocky Balboa wasn't horrible but I don't think it gave the series any justice it didn't already have. Now to go on in do the Rambo thing... Seriously I mean COME ON!!!! He's stretching I have respected him and enjoyed many of his previous rolls... Maybe we will get fortunate and get a boxed set for Blu. That seems to be the only good I could see from it.

Looks awesome to me. Can't wait. Rocky Balboa was great. Rambo looks even better in some ways.

I do believe from what Sly has said on Aint-It-Cool that this is his way of saying good-bye to these characters. And I must applaud his efforts. Rocky was a really good movie, and I thought a great way to say, "good-bye" to that character. If Rambo is anywhere near as good, then kudos to Sly and, "Yay" to the fans of this great character.

The fourth Rambo can be a nice sendoff to the series. More of a welcome return to the introspective sadness of the warrior forced to fight in First Blood, and less the propaganda tools of the second and third one.

And at least he won't be aiding the Taliban in this one...

get'er done

I thought Rocky Balboa was pretty good, perhaps I had no expectations and that's why. Regardless, it was a good view.

I flew that boy around a few times down in Florida (him and Bridget) when they were filming movies together. That was a long time ago.

Actually, fan-fakey "Rambo vs. the Taliban!" movie-rumor baloney was sliced up and tossed around on 9/12--
Stallone claimed then that he had no real intention of doing one, but...one "Rocky Balboa" and five or six years of "Never throw away a title" later...

(At least now, it's a nice, safe Myanmar, with nice, clear bipartisan bad guys that nobody pays attention to, and which conflict will probably still be around by the time the movie comes out, unlike "Rambo III"'s bad timing with the Russia-Afghanistan war.)

I liked the new Rocky, so I'll check out the new Rambo.

I figure, why not? They are his movies, and if he wants to bring tback the character, go for it. If its bad, then i just chalk it up to another bad movie. I see lots of them, so one more wont kill me.

You know in real life he is short and kind of a jerk.
