Predictable & uninspiring

Rating: 3/10 (11 March 2019)

Sad to see that the talents of Stallone & Jordan were flushed down the drain. I wish they could recreate half the magic & charm of original Rocky. It is a sports movie but did nothing for me, even during the main fight my hear rate remained the same and no adrenaline rush. The main fight also looked fake & clumsy. Somehow the protagonist who has broken ribs & is in immense pain, summons enough strength to beat a figurative goliath who is in exceptional shape and hasn't received any major hit. It is just sad to see how my favourite childhood sports series is now used as a cash cow for the producers.
