Sylvester Stallone Movies

Don’t you sometimes reminisce about old movies and crave to see them, well what popped in my mind the last couple of weeks is “Tango and Cash”, so I started downloading it and then began to download Sylvester Stallone movies!

I downloaded a pretty good collection

The Good:

Tango and Cash: starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell, it’s about two of L.A.’s top rival cops who are framed and must work together to clear their names. I really enjoyed this movie, Sylvester is funny in it, what amazes me about him, is that each character he plays, he acts in a different fresh way there is no clear pattern. I have seen this movie many times and enjoy it everytime. Of course, compared to today’s movies with the same concept it is missing reality reasoning but it’s OK, I like it nevertheless

Assassins: starring Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas and Julianne Moore. Sylvester plays an assassin with principles. everytime he wants to retire he gets lured to accepting another high paid contract. Another assassin, Antonio, is obsessed with him and steals his contracts. Until Julianne, the hacker, becomes his target and Sylvester decided to protect her

Rocky: Need I say about this one, I love this movie alot. The way he acts, the funny scenario lines, the plot, director, etc. I actually saw this many times. It is about a small time boxer who calls himself the Italian stallion, who gets to fight the heavyweight champ. What I didn’t know is that Sylvester is the writer

First Blood (Rambo): Sylvester plays a Vietnam war vet, when abused by a small town’s police force, begins a one man war with it. I really didn’t understand why Rambo had to go to this extreme to express his frustration until the end of the movie when it all made sense. It is worth seeing

Judge Dredd: starring Sylvester Stallone, Diane Lane, Armand Assante and Rob Schneider. The last is a good addition to the movie cast. Sylvester plays the tough judge in the future justice system who is convicted for a crime he did not commit. This is a good movie full of action and good humor

Cliffhanger: I wasn’t sure where to categorize this one, I think it is a “3adi” movie. The weird thing is having John Lithgow from “3rd rock from the sun” act the vilan! I didn’t take him seriously. It’s about Gabe a mountain ranger and his partners who are tricked to rescue a group of thieves and help them track their suitcases which are scattered over the mountains

The Bad:

Cobra: The only good thing about this movie, is Sylvester wearing his shades, that’s it! The plot is about a city cop who is called to do the dirty work. He protects a witness from some serial killers. The director sucked big time, zooming in and out and going back and forth through scenes. Movie didn’t make sense at all

Demolition Man: It is not as bad as Cobra but it could have been so much better. Come on, Wesley Snipes in it. Everytime they have a Blade movie, I can’t look away. But Sandra Bullock gave the movie a goofy turn. In the future the world turns into a non-violent society. Until Wesley manages to escape in a ridiculous way and terrorizes the city, so they are forced to unfreeze Sylvester from confinement to pursue him and bring him in
