Getting on a bit?

I just came across a new Rambo film to be released in 2008. Good on Sylvester Stallone for keeping in shape and everything, but he's kinda killing the image of Rambo in my opinion by doing this, dont you think? And I think he was close to making the newest Rocky look a bit silly.

Anyone think of anyone else think he should just throw in the towel now? Maybe he could become a mayor or whatever like Arnie? (Though I personally think Arnie still has it

)

Maybe Stallone should just hang up his boots. There are other roles about, just don’t think he has the ability to fulfil any other type of acting role. As for any other type of work… who knows, he doesn’t come across as being all that bright. I’m aware that is not answering your question, not sure who else is “too long in the tooth” to act.

it must just be for the fame, i dont think its for the money unless they are just being greedy, makeup does work wonders though doesnt it!!

I haven't watched the new Rocky yet but think he's too old to be believable really, loved both the Rocky and Rambo films in the 80's, will reserve judgement till I've seen them though struggle with the concept of an ageing Rambo.

He has always had a script to blame for his poor use of the English Language, what is your excuse?

I added an extra word into the sentence accidently, you tend to do that when you can't sleep and you are working all day and night on assignments

stallone is in it for the money (cant blame him) agree totally he is past his sell by date for the likes of Rocky. but why shouldn,t he if suckers will flock to watch em?

dont think he should run for mayor, but i do think he should pack it in,

Unless he is playing the role of someone who is past it but still wants to be a boxer?

Look at films like 'Tough Guys' with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas - brilliant.

he does look knackered dont he?

MargaretR · 04-01-2008, 18:59

Looks more like his mum now

grego · 04-01-2008, 20:33

He is looking more like his Mum, how scary is that.

Bonnyboy · 04-01-2008, 20:56

What about Daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter, surely he has outgrown this role by now

grego · 04-01-2008, 21:07

Harry Potter grew up at the same time though, also he's not trying to be an action hero

I thought there was more to come (filmwise) I assumed they would make as many films as there are books, has he grown up in the books, only asking as I dont know
