Because people rarely watch actors like Stallone for a deep and meaningful story, they watch them for big guns, breaking bones and exploding bodies.

He has played some serious roles really well though, he was awesome in Copland and Daylight

Who says that they are mutually exclusive?
And like Frags said, he has played in some very good deep movies and done very well. Also, even movies like First Blood and Rocky have a lot more depth and meaning than you give them credit for.

I get it, internet, sarcasm. bad mix. really coach? serious actor and Stallone in the same sentence doesn't reek enough you need to actually read and comprehend? I can smell it dripping from my monitor. Having said that, if you've seen the first Rocky, then you know Stallone to be very capable of acting.

I did not say Sylverster Stallone cannot act.
What I said was that most people see him as an action hero, and would rather see him in an action flick rather than anything else.
Expendables 2 could've done with more plot, but too much story can bog down action flicks.

The Virgin Suicides, good movie. Also worrying, Kirsten Dunst was really 15 there, HOT! I probably have to go to the police and admit I like underage girls. Ffs if she told me she was 20 I would totally buy that claim and get into trouble

Silver Linings Playbook - the old lady claims she does not like Bradley Cooper. Interesting that the last two Netflix films were chick flicks featuring that actor, eh? Entertaining enough, but Jennifer Lawrence teases just enough that I was wanting more...and my more would've changed the movies rating.

I just got to see Iron Man 3 yesterday. Because I am a comic book fan and a movie fan I have quite the dichotomy of emotions. If I wasn't a comic book fan of Ironman I would probably say this movie was really good, and a step up from 2(doesn't come close to 1 though).Without giving away spoilers... They take some liberties with a few characters that, as a comic book fan enrages me, but at the same time they make sense to the overall plot. It ties in nicely, and is well presented.

This movie, much like The Dark Knight Rises scares me off of comic book movies a little bit. I understand you want to bring your own something-something to the character, but to make huge sweeping changes to a character's identity should be a major sin. For this movie though I can't for the life of me figure out why they did it. I think all-in-all Iron Man 3 was pretty disappointing. Man-of-Steel is going to crush it in a couple of weeks.

Cache, good French movie about a man who gets confronted with what an asshole he's been in the past. It doesn't work he's still an asshole, he's not sorry at all
