Sylvester Stallone’s best acting scenes

The scene in Creed where he visits Adrian's grave is pretty great work.

Rambo breaks down

Best scene in the entire Rocky series is when Mickey visits his apt. to plead with him to be his manager.

Yeah, this should be sort of obvious.

Best of Stallone maybe period when he was trying to be an actor before superstardom stole him away.

Every scene in Over the Top

This. All of this. Driving his rig through his ex father in laws gate to get his kid was the most riveting scene in film history. I laughed, I cried, I cheered.

First of all, how good of an actor do you think he is?

Really good when he wanted to be. The material wasn't always up to snuff, but almost 100% of Rocky and First Blood were fantastic.

The "You're never going to hit as hard as life" speech in Balboa is pretty compelling. He had moments in other films, even the cheesier "franchise" films, losing Mick in Rocky III, the "If I can change..." bit from IV.

When he was "on" he was way closer to Brando than Schwarzenegger. At his best, as good as Mel Gibson or Bruce Willis, certainly, probably better. Comparable to Kurt Russell, but not as consistent, in ability. I think that covers his main competition (not Brando, obviously).
