Movie Reviews of Rocky Balboa
Movie Review: Pointless Events. Unmoving. Dull Fight and End.
Summary: 1 Stars
While this movie had some good moments, in the end I found it to be dull, forgettable, and devoid of passion. There were many events and characters that entered and exited the story pointlessly. (Paulie losing his job was a good example of a pointless scene) The villain wasn't a villain. The boxing champion that Rocky fought wasn't scary, and wasn't believable as a fighter that was hated. Mason Dixon would have been far more believable if drawn out as a gansta' rapper loving young punk. My impression was that Stallone went politcally correct and de-balled Dixon, leaving him bland and colorless.
Rocky's son, and the son storyline, went nowhere. One moment Rocky's son was distant, and the next (literally the next scene) his son quit his job to be with Rocky. It was a light switch transition.
Rocky Balboa was a movie short on passion, short on story, lacking a great and moving finish, full of the poorest training and fight footage of all the Rocky movies, and stuffed to the gills with Rocky blathering endlessly.
Bottom line: I found this flick to be a waste of time. Sorry Rocky.
