Refreshing change

Rating: 7/10 (22 January 2017)

He finally gave up on four times repeated pattern and made a completely different story. This is not the story of a boxer who has to fight a bigger and bigger opponent in every sequel anymore, this is an emotional drama of a man who started from nothing, reached the stars and hit the bottom once again. A movie about being able to distinguish true values in life from current goals that blur the mind. The movie is not excellent in any aspect, but the story is the most interesting so far. Rocky's son is portrayed by Stallone's son, which gives this father-son relationship more credibility. Music is not bad, but it cannot be compared with prequels, except for fantastic "The Measure of a Man" by Alan Menken, performed by Elton John. Definitely worth watching.
7,5/10
