Throw the towl in before you rent!
The Rocky series has a place in my heart, I still have fond memories of my dad taking us to the pictures when we were young to Rocky 4, the atmosphere of popcorn being thrown at Ivan Drago...the boos...the hysterical chants of Rocky, Rocky, Rocky......the stand on hair montage at the finale with fantastic soundtrack.......now aged 34 the chance again to go and watch Rocky with my dad........
Bored stiff....literally for 90% of the film. It shouldntve been made in my opinion. It was slow and dull, painful even at times as it just isnt the same as the other Rocky films. The acting by Sly Stallone is wooden and is a far, far, cry from the films I grew up with. Rocky fans will HAVE to watch this film, simple as that, even knowing it wont live up to its previous glory because thats how good this series is, but sadly this wont be one trip down memory lane that will live long. |
