So you see Sly reading feedback and following fans advice for his films on the internet. He’s been doing this for his last couple of films with “Rocky Balboa” and, “Rambo”. You wonder why he is only concentrating on directing his own movies that he stars in?
I think I am starting to figure this out.
When Sly tries to work on films that are made by other directors, they fail in the box office, with movies like “Get Carter”, “Driven”, and others. After those films, Sly made a few straight to DVD movies, (“Shade”, “Avenging Angelo”, and “D-Tox”). That’s when everyone thought Sly’s movie career is just about dead.
Then he signed on to Robert Rodriguez’s, “Spy Kids 3D: Game Over”, playing the main villain in that film. That movie became a huge hit and did very well in the box office. It helped Sly get back in the mainstream again. He then announced he was going to bring back “Rocky” and “Rambo” both to the big screen. Both became very successful.
Sylvester Stallone is now a well-known star again like he was back in the 80’s.
I think he is simply listening to fans ’cause he simply doesn’t want to make the same mistakes he made in the past. He doesn’t want to see his career tank again. This is why he is listening to his fans, giving what they want so his films can become successful. I can’t blame him for doing this.
Sly is obviously listening to the fans. We always wanted a movie where Sly stars in a film with all of these action star tough guys, he gave us that in the “Expendables”. We always wanted to see Sly, Bruce and Arnie star in a film together, he also gave us that in the “Expendables” movie.
It is showing that Sly cares for his fans and shows that he makes the movie for us. He’s not just doing it for the money and fame. He wants to give us good action entertainment. He should be respected for making fans happy. Thanks Sly and keep up the great work!
