Screw you Creepo!

Went to see Rocky Balboa last night... and before you moan and groan about another Rocky movie and how cheesy its going to be, think about it. Why is it your instant reaction to think its going to be bad or cheesy? Just because it started in the 70's? Just because it has some iconic qualities of the 80's?

I'll be very honest, it was a good movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think Sly Stallone is a great screenwriter and he really has Rocky down to a tee. In fact it kind of pisses me off when people's first reaction to a sequel, okay or even number six in a series is to be condescending or joke about it. Look at Star Wars, they did phenomenally well. Look at Clerks 2, there was a bunch of shit about Clerks having a sequel and I loved it. Give these movies a chance people. Sure, sequels aren't always the best... hell the first movies aren't always the best, look at the Look Who's Talking series... but then take a look at Godfather, it can be argued that the second is even better than the first.

Rocky Balboa was quite emotional and executed very well. The characters are real and the setting hones in the reality of Philly life. I was blown away by it to be honest. Go check it out.
