So this is Sly Stallone's swansong, eh?


It's about time. These action movie stars are getting too ridiculously old to portray action heroes.

And you’ll be the first one to buy a ticket. You’re so easy

"These action movie stars are getting too ridiculously old to portray action heroes."

And some of them still deliver better actions than most new action stars.

Swansong, No !

I hope it IS his last John Rambo movie, that's what I mean.

The rumors about his death has been gravely exaggerated...

reply

I'm sure he'll carry on in other movies.

Nope. Rocky VII is being written as we speak.

reply

Don't you mean Creed 3?

reply

Nope. A real Rocky movie.

Didn't know that. Thanks.

For once I think it's pointless, and I was one of those guys that would say "one more time please" after each new movie. There's really nothing more that can be done with Rocky. He's far too old to box, and all his supporting characters have been killed off except for his son. I think the only challenge that would make for a good Rocky movie is if Rocky went back to school and was studying for a degree (and even that might not be a very riveting tale). There aren't any real physical challenges left for Rocky Balboa unless they want to have him run a marathon. I suppose they could continue his story with Drago and somehow show what's next between the two of them.

The initial plot that Stallone is talking about sounds like a stinker, and he needs to go back to the drawing board.

NOPE.STALLONE IS STILL GOING STRONG..THIS IS HOWEVER JOHN RAMBO'S SWAN SONG.

Let's be honest, he'll never get cast as anything but in action movies. Just like Bruce Willis and Arnold.

reply

What is wrong with that??? He can play supporting roles in action films. We are not talking about a frail 72 year old here. He will live at least another 10 years fit, so there is at least 5 more films in him. He doesn't do this for the money anymore.

reply

What's wrong? He's too old for this shit!

reply

Apparently not because he's still pulling it off. Just because you are out of shape at an early age doesn't mean the rest of us are....I'm pushing middle aged and look pretty awesome. No fat on my body and as active as ever. Living healthy will do that for you. People can live extremely active lives into their 70's. Many have proved it. I will admit though that by mid 80's it's when most start to take a bit of a nosedive. But Stallone isn't there yet.....
