They never will because they've seen Rocky and they feel that any Sly movie that isn't as artisitic automatically becomes pure garbage.

Tango & Cash is pretty good,Over The Top rules
Get Carter,Copland,Oscar,Judge Dredd,Assassins are far worse then those two
Assassins is easily Stallone and Banderas's worst movie they each have ever made
All the rocky's are pretty boring cept for 3

in my opinon... in no particular order
Judge Dredd (I didnt see it, the previews were enough to turn me off)
Stop or my mom will shoot
Driven
Over the top
I did however, love Tango and Cash

Tango & Cash is so bad that it's kind of fun to watch.
I don't think that's the same thing as being good.
I forgot all about Driven. I assume it was pretty bad, but I'm betting not as bad as the others on the list.

Alright, I feel just about as spat upon as I do when I hear all of my family and friends bash "Mystery Men" - I love this movie!!!
I can't honestly think of one Stallone movie during the '80s and into the '90s that I didn't like . . . in fact, most of them I loved.
I would just chalk it up to my being a young'in at the time. I was 12 when Rocky III came out. What a joy!!! Maybe they're more nostalgic to me. However, most of my favorite movies have been stallone movies.
I wore out my VHS copy of Tango and Cash, Victory was the first Disc, yes Disc movie I ever bought (you know, those big square discs that came out before VHS!), Rocky III and IV had quite possibly the biggest impact on my life than any other movies, I saw Cliffhanger 3 times at the movie theater, Lock Up (What a great movie!), Over The Top became my most listened to soundtrack for a year, after watching the movie, Oscar is a family favorite (we still get together to have a laugh at that one), Demolition Man - Stallone, Snipes, Bullock - Very Cool!, Not to mention the Rambo movies!
I'd think it was just me, but I run a daycamp for kids (ages 8 - 14). These kids have grown up with all the special effects laden movies of recent years. On rainy days, I'll show them movies in my "mini-movie theater."
I've shown them the following Stallone movies:
Rocky 3 and 4 - They loved them, of course!
Oscar - They thought it was hilarious!
Over The Top - They loved it!
Victory - Believe it or not, they liked that one too! I didn't think it'd hold their attention, but it did.
Since kids can be the worst critics (their attention span is quite lacking), I thought this was a pretty good indicator.
There are some I didn't like (very few though)
My top 5 worst:
1. Cobra - I remember thinking "what in the heck, Stallone in a bad movie!" Only saw it once.
2. The Specialist - What a crappy movie - saw it first with a group of college friends. Very hard to sit through, especially the shower scene with Stone. A very "undesirable" female friend that had the hots for me was sitting next to me during this movie. I started feeling like I was going to vomit during that scene. . . she was giving my googly eyes and rubbing my arm during it. I still have nightmares about that night.
3. Assassins - Watched this during my "I hate that Mexican guy" phase. Of course, my opinion completely changed when I saw Antonio in "Mask of Zorro."
4. Cop Land - Interesting movie, but seeing Stallone fat just wasn't appealing.
5. Ants - Officially, it was just his voice, but that's gotta be the worst animated film I've ever seen.
I haven't seen Get Carter. From what I've heard I don't want to.
Anyway, according to this thread, I'm in the minority. Oh wait, how much money did Stallone make on these movies? Well . . . maybe it's just a very large minority!
