When you read about him, Stallone was one of the bigger super-egomaniacs in Hollywood in the 1980s, quite a turn from being a humble aspiring actor/writer. Years of flops and being a bloody joke perhaps put him back several pegs. Good for him.
But with ROCKY BALBOA, he actually made the first ROCKY sequel that's a worthy sequel to ROCKY. No sillyness of getting revenge or fighting the Russians or winning...
If anything, I'm just shocked that Stallone actually kept the only logical and right ending to the fight. The Sly of old would have demanded the usual ROCKY ending.
ROCKY BALBOA (2006) - ***
BTW, you reminded me pizzaboy....I laughed when I read that Mr. Balboa was using the roids.
