Essentially a remake to first rocky.......

Rating: 8/10 (22 February 2016)

Only this time rocky who is 40 years older takes the place of his old trainer mickey and son of creed takes the place of young rocky.
premise is the same.
the movie was very good and all rocky fans should love it but it was not as good as the old movies mainly cause it had the following flaws......(few spoilers)
1) paullie, duke and rocky junior were not in this movie and this was not a good thing. rocky junior left town, duke we don't know what happened to him and paullie died after rocky 6.
they should have kept him alive and duke should be creed's trainer with rocky as he thought appollo like a son.
2) There was no real reason as to why adonis decided to be a boxer as he got a promotion from his work but decided to boxing and quit his job......AND NO REASONS WERE GIVEN.
3) Wew really needed more rocky vs apollo fights flasbacks.
We needed at least 10 minutes of those flashbacks plus the fight between apollo and drago.
we only got 1 minute or so of those flashbacks and we never got any of the fight that killed apollo.
rocky fans wanted to remember those stuff.
4) We also needed the old music score and we got little of this stuff. the new music sucked like generally the music sucks in last 20 years or so so this was another flaw as the first rocky movies had a great soundtrack which was one of the factors the movies became so successful.
Apart from those flaws as i said the movie was still good and delivered the goods but it was not perfect that's why i gave it 8 out of 10.
hope in the sequel they bring nack duke......and we get more FLASHBACKS FROM THE EARLIER ROCKY FILMS.
