Movie Review: Rocky VI

We were bored, so we hit the movies. Nothing else was really playing, in my opinion. I’m picky in my choice of movies. So we saw a movie in which we knew EXACTLY what we’d see. Watch Sylvester Stallone as a brain-dead Italian in ONE MORE MOVIE in which he defies all odds! Ha ha. It’s been YEARS since I’ve seen the other ones. I only vaguely remember him fighting Mr. T. Or the Russian. Or the horror that was Rocky V.

It felt like the beginning of the movie dragged its feet. I thought maybe it was attempting to establish the fact that Rocky is, in fact, old. But no, that just seemed to be the pace of the movie. There seemed to be a lot of uncomfortable conversation. The fact that there’s a fight in the movie almost seems like an afterthought, as the movie seems like Rocky’s Midlife Crisis.

Aside from the movie feeling like they were listening to Weird Al’s Theme to Rocky XIII when they wrote the script, I’m having a hard time recalling the movie. There’s a few motivational lines which everybody wants to hear, but otherwise, it’s a pretty forgettable movie. And that is how I judge movies. Will I remember this in the morning? By this delimiter, if you want to see it, by all means, go see it. But, it’s a movie you can completely miss, and probably won’t really want to see on video.
