Rocky vs Raging Bull?

Rating: 7/10 (8 January 2014)

Here's a good natured comedy. The premise of a grudge match for the AARP title allows for a lot of predictable jokes and this movie delivers. De Niro shows why he is among the best actors around. Stallone shows why he is best playing the Rocky like role he created. Alan Arkin is Arkin like and it.is good to see Kim Bassinger again.
The plot is on the thin side but the idea is high concept with the two stars and they carry the movie. There are plenty of jokes and most of them work.
Don't split too fast after a split decision. There are a couple of fun added scenes during the credits that should not be missed. If you are looking for serious cinema this isn't it. If you are looking for a fun popcorn movie, see it.
