I enjoyed Rocky Balboa tremendously, even though it was
formulaic and probably a carbon copy of the original in terms of
telling an underdog's tale. Written and directed by Sylvester
Stallone, this is very much his comeback movie as it is for his
character Rocky Balboa, when the fifth installment of the franchise
was considered the weakest of the lot, and a let down to its
predecessors. When the movie was announced, many people sniggered
and wrote it off outright, as being nothing new to offer on the
table, of letting dead dogs lie, that Stallone was out of ideas and
needed to revisit past glories to try and get his career back on
track.
