I love to hear different opinions as long the person explains the opinion, like above. Cheers

He got the stigma because he relentlessly kept on releasing crap sequels to his first two films.

It's his own fault.

Same goes for his Rambo series.

I'm not going to fault him for realising what he's good at, and then taking advantage of it. Some actors are more versatile than others, Dustin Hoffman for example, with films like Kramer Vs Kramer, Tootsie and Rain Man stretching his abilities, he's obviously in a different league to Stallone. But think about this, could he have played characters like Rocky or Rambo as well as Stallone? Not a chance. Some parts may not stretch ones vocabulary, but they can be just as poignant as playing Hamlet.
