I have always been a huge fan of the Rocky movies, but I am only 18 years old and never got to see a rocky movie on the big screen. When I saw this movie come out, I was ecstatic. I left my family on Christmas Day and went to see this movie in my Italian stallion robe and boxing shorts. Neadless to say, it was worth missing out on most of Christmas Day! The movie started out slow and the jokes were pretty bad. There was a moment of panic when I was thinking to myself "oh no. They butchered this movie." But as the story moved along, I fell in love. It was like getting into a pool for the first time. You slowly get more comfortable the further in you get. That's what this movie did. They threw all these one liners in the beginning of the movie that were so bad they made me cringe. But as the story moved along, they really got in the groove. I was literally slapping my knee at most of the scenes in the movie and it was such a pleasure to see these two boxing warriors back in the ring again. In this movie, it's more than age, it's about heart. If your so passionate about something, how can you live with yourself by giving it up? I felt their pain and struggle of not be able to do what they want anymore even though they love it. Yea, there were a lot of missed opportunities when it came to jokes or scenes they really could have knocked out of the park, but in the end it was really something that i will remember for the rest of my life. that i finally got to see Sylvester Stallone in the ring again. I was so glad they did this movie and I hope everyone realizes how great of a movie it really is. Go see this movie! I promise you that you will not be disappointed. It was worth every penny.
