I had very low expectations for this movie, given that Sylvester Stallone is already 60 years old. He actually looks pretty bad in the movie, age wise, though one heck of an acting skill he’s obtained. When I heard hew was going to be making a new Rambo and Rocky movie, it just felt like he ran out of money and needed to take advantage of these 2 franchise to make some more. But I was surprised how well this movie was done and I only watched after several friends gave their recommendations.<\/p>\n

This is probably going to be the last Rocky movie. Then again, there was this one.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the trailer basically tells you the entire story. He gets old, new boxing champion, and they do a computer animation battle between the 2. Rocky comes out ahead. Somehow that stirs a fire in him and he goes and obtain a boxing license again and ultimately ends up fighting Mason Dixon in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Anyway, there was that side story of Little Marie? What was that all about? Seems like a really random character and Rocky keeps on helping her over and over again. Was there an untold story between the two, or was Rocky just being really generous seeing she was a single mother and had to raise a boy on her own. *Shrug* That story just felt a bit weird, especially that he lost his wife.<\/p>\n

But you do get to see Peter Petrelli in the movie as Rocky’s son. \ud83d\ude09<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I did notice there were a bunch of advertisements\/product placement. There were the ones related to boxing like Everlast, but then there was Mandalay Bay, HBO, and even GoldenPalace.com on the breasts of those round girls (or whatever you call those girls that walk around with the current round number signs). The actual boxing ring also had their big logo (GoldenPalace.com) imprinted in the center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
