It was like old home week: shots of South Philly, the Art Museum, the new whatever-it-is building out by 30th Street.
It was even more like old home week: wild ideas, quick training, holding his own and getting beat in the big fight.
Having now looked around and read some reviews this seems to be a love it or hate it kind of film. I loved it. I loved it enough, in fact, that although I haven’t seen a Rocky film in probably 20 years and I’ve never seen IV or V I’m considering buying the collected works just so I can see them all, again and again.
And I’ll buy Balboa when it comes out as well.
Damned fine movie.
