Cookie cutter stamp makes this a must miss!

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2015)

So if you saw the first Rocky movie, don't see this one. First, I would like to say I am a huge Rocky fan. Saw every movie multiple times, but this one was a cookie cutter of the first one with lazy writing. I predicted the entire movie, including the rounds fought, when the girlfriend comes back in, and of course the end. I was dying to see this movie thinking some creativity was going to be brought back into the mix. Boy was I wrong. I wanted to love this movie as I like Stallone and the other actors, but the predictability was the worst I have witnessed in years of movies. Why bother? There was one thing different I must say though...The audio in the ring scenes. I mean in all the Rocky movies the announcers voice is heard throughout the arena. Not this movie. It is like they are doing an audio recording in an office with the door closed. No echo or anything. I know I am nitpicking on that one but this is how the movie is. I was so bored predicting the entire film that I had to pick apart other things bothering me. Skip this one and go back and watch the great classic that you loved. Lazy writers in Hollywood continue with their hard work apparently.
