Stallone Slams Batman

[Azrael]

What can someone get by changing 5 words in this quote?

"It was that first Rambo movie," he said, referring to the 1982 film starring Sylvester Stallone, an actor never known for acting chops. "The action movies changed radically when it became possible to replace actors with bodybuilders. It was the beginning of a new era. The muscles took over. The steroids became more important than the talent. That was the beginning of the end."

And I really like Stallone and his action movies (on a "so-bad-it's-fun" level). Sly judges Batman as an action film, something that was never Burton's priority. Batman wasn't supposed to be an 80's action hero on steroids. I think this Stallone comment is as valid as a European talking about American football or baseball - something we have zero interest or idea about.

Can't wait for Expendables! This one and Machette by Rodriguez promise to be an ode to cheesy 80s action, something Stallone was so very good at.
