Rocky Balboa
Anybody who is older than me (15 years old) must have remembered how Rocky beat Apollo, Mr. T, Ivan Drago, Arthritis, and Rheumatism. They all happened in the movie Rocky, Rocky II, Rocky III and so on.
And when people think that the series is over, Stallone comes with Rocky Balboa or Rocky XMVIII.
It's really a surprise for everybody that Rocky is going to fight again, at the age of 176, or seems like it. But that's what this movie is all about. This movie is proving that no matter how old you are, if you have a franchise as hot as Rocky, you'd better cash it in.
However, I found the storyline bored me. It's about Rocky trying to be a good citizen and to be a fighter. He stood up when people challenged him, and said right to their face, "Wuioa mooizazuu khoohuuu?", because nobody could understand his accent.
The storyline is boring at first. But at the end Rocky fights, being a fighter that he was. And we the audience groaned, being an audience with good taste that we were.
However, it's still a great good bye for the legend.
Next up: Rambo IV: The First Prostat Exam.
