The prospect of seeing De Niro and Stallone going mano-a-mano would work better if this were a gritty existential thriller in which Stallone could be persuaded to put his vanity on hold long enough to play within a decade or so of his actual age. He's capable of doing decent work (see "Copland"), and his ultraviolent 4th "Rambo" movie was the most morally honest of the entire series precisely because it was so horrifying. Unfortunately, "Grudge Match" is a comedy. Which is no problem for De Niro, however Stallone has had miserable luck with the genre (see "Rhinestone," "Oscar," "Stop, or my Mom will Shoot," etc.). Comedies are the hardest things to pull off, much moreso than horror films or dramas, or any other genre. They are astonishingly difficult to write, and require a special kind of brilliance and fearlessness on the part of the actors. Which is why there are so few brilliant comedies, and why even the half-assed ones are enthusiastically embraced. A De Niro/Stallone comedy sounds like an experiment fraught with peril. Personally, I'd rather see these two in a remake of "The Killers," or "On the Waterfront," or "Light at the Edge of the World." Almost anything, come to think of it, but a boxing comedy. Still, I wish them the best. I hope it turns out to be brilliantly funny and wildly successful…

He is Robert De Niro and he has earned the right to do what he wants, so feel free to critique the movie when it comes out, but leave the man alone for doing what he wants.

Nothing special about Deniro in that film. A minor work in every sense, he's lucky to be nominated. Brando was Awesome in Dr Moreu and Stallone has done work in the past that qualifies him as more than just a "hack".

I don't feel ya

Looks like he's in an upswing project wise but he's got a long way to go

Russell's film will go down as one of his finest whether or not he wins." Huh
