I still love Sly, I just want him to concentrate on his acting talent more than his action hero stuff…

With the upcoming release of “The Expendables 2” later this year, I’m looking forward to it of course, but I would like to see Sly concentrate on his acting talent, instead of being an action star and entertainer. Don’t get me wrong, I love Sly the action star, that’s the reason why I got into his flicks to begin with, but I love his drama acting too.

I think the best acting he ever did was the first “Rocky”, and the movie “Cop Land”, when he played Freddy Heflin. Once in a while, Sly would come out with a good movie with good acting talent. I just wish he would do that again. It seems that Sly has lost it with the acting in action movies lately.

I love Sly’s earlier movies in the 70’s and early 80’s more ’cause his acting talent was really great back in those days. Stallone movies in the 70’s like “Lords of Flatbush”, “Paradise Alley”, “F.I.S.T.”, etc. His acting was really great in those movies, you should see them if you haven’t yet.

Sly has more action movies coming out after “Expendables 2”. He’ll be doing that Walter Hill movie, “Bullet to the Head”, and he will be doing that action/thriller with Arnold, “The Tomb”.

I just wish he would do another serious drama film where he can show off his acting talent again. I know he has the acting talent, he needs the right film to show it. He keeps doing action movies ’cause that’s what he’s well known for and he’s more successful at that than other genres.

Maybe when he does the fifth Rambo movie, he could kill it with his acting talent again, I’m hoping. I don’t think he’ll ever get Oscar nominated again, but he could if he worked on his acting some more.

I’m still am a die hard fan of Sly, don’t get me wrong. Just want him to be more of an “actor”, instead of an action star. I’m sure you get my point and you might even agree with me.
