"The Heart Wins"

That's all I have to say. Anyone who watched the movie will know why I said it. Anyone who did not DO watch it for is great.

When I first heard Stallone was doing Rocky Balboa, I was a bit cautious about how it would be done. But as time drew closer to the release, I started to get more and more anxious to see it.
Having grown up with the whole Rocky series, and knowing the last installment wasn't the best, I didn't raise my expectations too high.
I was really pleased with this film. He took it back to the original days when he was a nobody, and brought back characters that would have seemed long gone. If anything, this film along with the "Rocky" character, is designed to inspire one to better themselves. Not to become rich and famous, but stay true to yourself. We had an imbicile here in Australia review the film, which I doubt he even watched. He made a comment about Rocky not being able to buy himself a new pork pie hat. If he knew anything about the character, he would've known he wasn't about getting new things. Rocky stayed true to his old self. But it was interesting that the film was in his top 5 for the next 3 weeks.
All in all, I thought it was a wonderfully written film, and like all the others, I hate to admit the air conditioning got to me, which made my eyes water up a little. [Wink]

4.5 out of 5
