"Yeah....I think I gotta little left, you know...some stuff in the basement." -Rocky Balboa
So my local cable affiliate in South East Asia took this week to show all the Rocky movies. I caught some of most of them. I purposefully did not watch Rocky V -It is aweful-, but I did watch all of Rocky Balboa.
Here's the review: Did you ever wish Rocky V just didn't happen and that there was a film that made up for that fatty taste on the top of your mouth that ended the Rocky franchise....? Well...Rocky Balboa is the film for you. It is not bad. It is everything that Rocky V should have been. A polite, cliche, slightly endearing echo of former glory. I recommend it. It has the songs. People chant "Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!", and the montage of him bulking up is right in line with what we all expect. New cast members of Geraldine Hughs and Milo Ventimiglia (Peter from Heroes) were acceptable.
Enjoy it for what it is.
On a scale of Rocky and Bullwinkle to Rocky Road, I give Rocky Balboa 2.7 out of 5 stars.
