Rocky Balboa
Ah, Rocky, an American Icon, charging up the stairs in triumphant glory, beating Mr. T, the Russian, and so many others. Basking in the glory of success and dealing with defeat. Of course I am talking about Rocky 1-5. However, the newest installment Rocky Balboa, was anything but a smash hit. From the "deep" and "powerful" dialect, to the final "fight" Rocky keeps the viewers awake not by his moving speech capabilities (laughs), but by the humor in every sentence that was acted out in that move. The basis is that Rocky defeats Mason Dixon (the current champion to beat) in an up to date animated fictitious fight that is played out on a similar channel to ESPN, when Rocky plus Dixon see this fight, this, of course, leads to a challenge. I will not give away the ending, however it is not what you expect to happen, and not much of a climax.
Viewers be sure to have plenty of sleep before watching and allow your sense of humor to be in full force!

Pity that Rocky fell into the formula mode. The fist one was truly a good movie -- well written, well thought-out...
I have made it my business never to see a sequel. I am so sure that it will disappoint. (Yes, I have missed out on subsequent Godfathers with this viewing philosophy. Tough.)
Some people just don't know when to say good-bye!
