Movie Review - Rocky Balboa

Rocky Balboa is BACK!
At first, I didn't want to watch it. I thought: Isn't he kind of too old for this?
It wasn't until my little brother called and asked me to go watch it that I decided to do so. He was pissed for not being able to watch it. I basically did it for him, (I'm not sure how that would make any sense, but it did to us).

What's a steroid pumped 60 y/o senior doing? What's he trying to prove?
Overall, I thought the movie was "incredible", from storyline till production. I really loved it.
Rocky Balboa is a MUST SEE!

I also found out why I, subliminally, didn't want to watch it.

Since before I was born Rocky was punching people. Whenever I watched any of the old Rocky series I usually got badly influenced. Basically making me talk shit and try to pick a fight with anyone; which usually got me knocked the FUCK out. Thank God I'm too old for this shit now.



Rocky Balboa also had me thinking, whenever seeing a steroid pumped young guy I usually relate it to his low self-esteem. Those people with gorilla hormones inside them aren't stupid, they seem stupid because they haven't enough confidence to make their own decisions. But when seeing a guy well over his youth pumping steroids, what's the message he's trying to send?

I think it's excess ego. Those people should listen to Marcellus Wallace telling them what he told Butch in Pulp Fiction: "The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride fucking with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps."

P.S. Sylvester Stallone is working on his 4th Rambo Movie. Some people just don't know when to quit.

I can totally relate to the aggression thing. Mafia movies do that to me, make me wanna get all thugged out and stuff...trust me this is worse for a girl than a guy. I never ended up beating the living daylights out of anyone though... mostly because who am I kidding I couldnt throw a decent punch if my life depended on it. (But also of course because my nails chip easily and my hands wouldnt look purty without a good manicure.)

I feel pitty for Sylvester, the last good movie he had was "Tango & Cash" hehe, see what "desperate" does to a person... and don't forget he started off with porn to get into hollywood....that says something about someone

Naser said...

Yeah, Sylvester is a sad person. I can't say the movie was bad but he can't act other than the action/aggressive roles.
