ROCKY BALBOA

I havent really posted anything for quite some time, but i felt like posting after i watched rocky balboa last night. Like a lot of other people, when i first saw the trailer, i thought that the movie was just gonna be a drag, with stallone exclaiming in the trailer that he was so old and all that stuff. Im a big fan of the rocky series so i had to watch the last movie anyway. I didnt start watching with high expectations, but i found that the movie turned out pretty well actually. First of all, maybe it was a good thing that stallone shows his aging in a lot of ways. The movie seems to have a sombre tone at the start, with him being alone in his house, and then going to the grave of rocky's wife adrian balboa. His son is kinda angry at first with him and they dont really talk that often, mostly cos his son thinks that he is living in the shadow of rocky, cos rocky is really popular and rich. Then they show how rocky runs his restaurant and stuff, but he still doesnt really feel his boxing days are behind him. the whole movie is quite cool, and i think they put the nostalgia factor to good use in the movie, with rocky remembering the old times from the other rocky movies. and then finally he gets down to training to fight the undefeated heavyweight champion dude. Its pretty cool i dont think the movie was overdone or he tried to act like some young guy or anything, so it seemed more realistic and helped the movie. I think stallone did well in portraying rocky's aging and also kinda his loneliness in his older days.
