I remember back around the early 2000’s years Sly Stallone used to be one of the most hated actors on the planet. I’m not kidding either and I’ll never forget that. I’m sure you remember too. Back then, Sly got hated and criticized so much toward his acting talent. It was debated on whether or not Sly had any acting talent… people slammed him that he was only known for “Rocky” and “Rambo”, they say he was only talented at that. Anything outside of “Rocky” and “Rambo” Sly got trashed by movie fans and critics pretty harshly. Really Sly was bashed on a lot back then. That’s because back then, he was struggling in his career.

Today, everybody is finally realizing that the man has acting talent which to me is pretty amazing really. I always knew that one day Sly would start to get the respect that he deserves and he’s finally getting it.

Yeah, Sly may have made some pretty bad choices with his movies in the past but I think he’s finally smartened up and now he’s making some better choices with his films like “The Expendables”. “Grudge Match”, “Escape Plan”, “Bullet to the Head”, etc. Those are pretty good movies. He’s learned from his past mistakes and making smarter choices this time around.

So yeah, who cares about some award. Sly is already getting rewarded by getting recognized for his acting talent finally which he deserves more than an Oscar. So Sly is always a winner, in my book. I’m real happy for Sly that he’s finally getting all the love and respect that he deserves which he didn’t have much of that in the past. I’ll never forget the days when he was getting hated on. He finally silenced all of his doubters.

Sly is an interesting guy, though. He definitely knows how to stay strong and tough even through the setbacks in his career which to me makes him an amazing man. Now I understand why he played in movies like “Rocky” ’cause those movies helped inspire him to become strong and be the man that he is today.

The movie “Creed” is out on Blu Ray this week and I’m meaning to pick up a copy very soon!
