⇒ wocky!

saw Rocky Balboa today. Not a bad movie but it didn't get me pumped the way Rocky IV did. It's more along the lines of Rocky (part one) than anything else. I noticed they toned down the sound of the punches to make the fighting less comical (?). I dunno, I miss the superhuman Rocky of Rocky III and Rocky IV.

Stallone kind of reminds me of Frankenstein's monster: lumpy, muscular, strange mottled skin and slurred speech. It's true, he is in amazing shape (not just for his age, but for any age) but he just didn't bring it this time (for me anyway). Still, the boxing scenes were much more realistic than any Rocky movie before it.
