Cop Land is a total mediocrity. People on this forum kept pushing me to watch it, claiming it’s some masterpiece... give me a break. I’m not even talking about whether his acting was good or notβ€”I'm asking if he's actually been in anything decent besides Rocky. There are plenty of great actors out there, but great movies? They're hard to come by. Maybe they're easy for you, since your standards are as low as a failing politician's approval rating.

Also, what does the book have to do with the movie? Are you even listening to yourself? What kind of logic is "if the book is good, even Stalin can't ruin it"? Seriously, man, you need to chill. Your reputation here is tanking. You're sliding straight into the negatives.

BTW, I don't remember watching that movie. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't, but I don't recall it. Look, don't get bitter just because you aren't naturally gifted. It clearly takes you longer to process what's actually good and what isn't... just how nature works, I guess. I only talk about stuff I've actually seen. I'm not just pulling critiques off the internet. You've got quite the imagination, though. Tell you what, tell me where on the web you saw anyone else making points like mine, and I'll publicly apologize to you.

I'm gonna go dig into First Blood to see if this "masterpiece" is actually worth the hype, then I'll come back and tell you what I think.

edit: Good grief, are you seriously talking about Rambo? My god, "film expert," have you no shame? For three minutes there, I actually thought First Blood was something else entirely... and it turns out it's just Rambo. Unbelievable.

Man, Demolition Man is hands down the best movie ever!

Man, I just love Demolition Man; it’s one of those movies I can always revisit. Both Stallone and Snipes are absolutely fantastic in it.

Sean Johnson40 said:That bolded part pretty much sums you up. Good grief... your taste is bottom-of-the-barrel. Just stop talking; you'll save that rating of yours which is basically a one anyway.

btw, when I say a movie is garbage, it's garbage. If I can tell that in five minutes while you need an hour and a half of misery to figure it out, that's on you. You aren't some genius, so quit acting like a film critic and trying to sound smart.

Stallone is trash. He hasn't created anything worthwhile besides Rocky, and he didn't even direct that. When he tries his hand at directing, you see the results in those other sequels that are absolute junk.

I once had someone tell me that I just don't have a sense of humor.

Can we get back to the actual movie for a second? Some of us haven't even seen it yetβ€”give us some actual impressions, please. Save the playground bickering for a different thread...

Watching just to see Arnold, he totally steals every scene!
Fun flick

Since we’re already talking about Sly, look, I’m not exactly his biggest fan or anything, but I have to admit that First Blood is actually one of the better war dramas out thereβ€”especially when you consider how it tackles that whole "what happens after you come home from the service" vibe.

Does anyone know where I can hunt down some American subtitles for this flick?

God, save American culture and all that classic American grit
and those old Stalinist movies.

Rachel Ortiz33 said:Sure, they might be legends, but that doesn't change the fact that the movie just flops. As a comedy, it’s not even funny, and the drama? Total snooze fest. You just don't care about any of the characters at all.
I wouldn't call it an entertaining watch, honestly. Most of the time I was just bored out of my mind. The ending tries to save it a little, but De Niro looks ridiculous playing a boxer compared to how Stallone pulls it off...

This movie is one of the better comedies from recent years. It's way better than all those The Hangover style movies.

Just finished watching it... I thought it was pretty good, I guess.
The craziest part had to be when they jumped out of that plane..
one guy lands on a table while the other one ends up in a van, haha😁

Honestly, this movie feels more like a commercial for blue Nokias πŸ™‚
. Every other scene, someone is just sitting there holding one.

It’s a killer flick, really captures that vibe of Balboa versus LaMotta. It’s packed with humor, but it also hits you right in the feels by bringing back those memories of Rocky and Raging Bull. Plus, you definitely shouldn't miss that intense after-credits scene featuring Tyson and Holyfield. 😬

Just finished the movie. Honestly? I'm disappointed. I was expecting way more than what I actually got. It felt lukewarm and totally unfinished.

Rachel Ortiz33 said:You're the only one here playing the "film expert" card to feel superior on this forum, but let's be realβ€”you're just a frustrated kid. You couldn't give two solid arguments about a recent flop because you probably haven't even watched more than 10 minutes of them. I bet you just pull all your "knowledge" straight from Google, huh?

Have you even seen First Blood? Read the book? You clearly have no clue what you're talking about.
I'm talking about Stallone as an actor. He made fun movies, sure, but he knew how to deliver a great performance when the material was actually good, like in Cop Land.

Look, I don't think it's all about the scripts. Stallone just picked his lane, which happens to be action flicks, and that's just his choice. Period.

It feels a bit misplaced to go hunting for some deep acting mastery here, but he’s proven in certain films that he can definitely act. Calling him some kind of acting moron is just plain stupid.

Haven't checked this one out yet. Doesn't really grab me. Even though De Niro is a hell of an actor, he's had a track record of picking absolute garbage projects. Not sure if that's on him or if his people are giving him terrible advice...

I wouldn't go so far as to call it some absolute cinematic masterpiece, but honestly, it’s a solid watch! I found myself chuckling quite a bitβ€”not that I was absolutely losing my mind or anything, but it certainly wasn't quite hitting those hysterical levels you get with 😁

. It’s just one of those perfect little flicks to sit back and unwind with while enjoying the presence of two total legends, don't you think?
