Not Bad and Entertaining, But I Thought It Should Have Went in Another Direction.

Rating: 6/10 (11 February 2018)

Rocky couldn't get licensed in America, so this means being hit by a good punch(OR A FEW GOOD PUNCHES) by a fighter in boxing gloves(HANDS COVERED IN EXTRA PADDING AND BY FAR SOFTER THAN FISTS) could make him an invalid or dead. So, near the end, Rocky takes several almost bare knuckle punches from heavyweight champion and heavy-hitting protege Tommy Gunn(Morrison).
So, maybe a realistic direction for the movie to take was for Rocky to come out and win like he did at first. After that, Tommy fights dirty like he did in the movie and hits him with a couple of punches, but puts Rocky away. Rocky keeps his sanity. Life's great for Tommy Gunn over a wonderful career. Rocky trains his son gradually over time--after Adrian's invitation to be there for his family. His son eventually goes through the rankings motivated to avenge Tommy's dirty beating of his dad. Just as Tommy's set to retire, his undefeated son challenges Tommy just as Tommy did his dad years earlier. His son makes the Balboa name golden once again by outboxing Tommy as his dad once did Clubber Lang, but KO'ing him in the late rounds. This also ties all of the Rocky movies together: there's a boxer, a croucher, and power. At the end, Rocky and Adrian get their wealth back through their son instead of through Tommy!
Most everybody has seen this movie; it's almost 30 years old! These are just some changes that I feel were warranted. Sylvester's ego was just too high in this movie; he always had to be the hero.
