Well acted but bland

Rating: 5/10 (25 January 2016)

I was surprised at parts, but disappointed at others.
"Was it interesting?" Mostly. The acting was the best part. The cinematography was great as well. The romance was much more believable than what I would expect. 2 out of 3.
"Was it memorable?" Not much. I liked how they incorporated the past movies, but this movie didn't really add much compared to them. 1 out of 3.
"Was it entertaining?" Not really. The fights were good, modernized but still fitting for a "Rocky" movie. The main problem with the movie is the story. The main title character has little drama, with a lot of attention on Rocky. There is not much sacrificed or on the line. 1 out of 3.
Starting with 1 (because), 1+2+1+1=5 A disappointing and weak modernization and revitalization of a dying or even dead franchise. Perhaps I was expecting too much.
