In my book, this movie is just decent—it’s definitely not a masterpiece. There is absolutely nothing about the acting, the script, or the directing that elevates it to that level. It just leans on that whole "HOPE" theme that Hollywood is obsessed with. If you want to talk about actual greatness, 'It's a Wonderful Life' eats Rocky and Shawshank for breakfast when it comes to themes like that. That's how you make a legendary film. Everything is subjective, and clearly, you just don't get it. Everyone here is just sharing their own damn opinion. Unlike you, I don't give a single crap about what IMDb or the Academy thinks, but you've proven time and again that those are the only "arguments" you actually rely on.

The rewatch value of 🙏

For me, Goonies has way more rewatch power than Odyssey or Network. Much higher 🙏

First off, what exactly did I read and then repeat like a parrot?
Second, what kind of (un)subjectivity are you even talking about here?
Third, when and how many times have I actually used IMDb or Oscars as a reference? 🤣

Are you totally losing your mind, or did you mistake me for someone else? 🤣

Rocky > It's a Wonderful Life ☕

I mean, if a movie is supposedly "top tier" to you, shouldn't you be watching it over and over? Or are you just some special case who only watches "great" movies once and spends all your time rewatching total trash?

Blasphemy! 😁

The original Rocky and the original Rambo are top-tier films.
And no, the first Rocky isn't any worse than Taxi Driver.

For God's sake, people, get real. Look, I get it—Rocky is a great movie. Honestly, who didn't love it growing up? But comparing it to actual masterpieces like Network or Taxi Driver—let alone the films mentioned above—is just pure hyperbole. A little objectivity wouldn't kill anyone here. Just take a look at the scripts in those movies and compare them to the one in Rocky. Compare the acting, the direction...

The theme in Rocky is nice, sure, but it’s been chewed up and spit out a thousand times. In those other films, it isn't. Especially not in Network.

That’s just subjective opinion. Personally, I can't stand Blade Runner or Brazil, and I think there are plenty of films out there far superior to them. However, I get why most critics and fans rank them higher than the movies I actually find interesting—or rather, movies that I believe are objectively better.

People around here seem way more obsessed with Rocky than they are with Rambo.

Trautman: Pressure? Let me just say that Rambo is The Best combat vet I've ever seen. A pure fighting machine with only one goal—to finish a war that someone else already lost. And if winning requires him to die? He'll do it. No fear, no regrets. And one more thing: what you might call hell, he calls home.

John Wick is a solid movie on its own. But in part 4, he totally lost his edge—didn't even use the knife until the very end, no shirtless scenes, none of that climbing through the trees stuff. He just held back.

They'll probably drop a fifth one in 2018 to hit the anniversary of the last installment, and Sylvester Stallone will be 72 by then.
