I watched it at the weekend. Same as Mark I was a little bit put off by a few bits and pieces that may or may not have been important.


I don't see how Rocky and Apollos wife would have simply stopped talking. A more plausible angle would have been if She blamed him and initiated the silence.


I know it's purely aesthetic but I didn't like what Mick's gym had become. From Mark's Rocky trail thread I think it's a dollar store or mini mart type thing these days? I wonder if the interior stuff was actually filmed some place else? The camera locations and décor meant it was unrecognisable to me as Mick's gym.


Creed putting his gumshield in before walking to the ring in Mexicao? No, shouldn't happen.


I thought the son and Rocky were on good terms after Rocky Balboa. Then he fucks off and leaves Rocky to it?


Rocky lied when he said Apollo won fight 3.


Bellew was annoying. His squeaky voice irritated me.


It's been a theme through the Rocky films. People, places, occurrences are all forgotten in the following film. Rocky was a defensive genius by the end of Rocky 3, couldn't slip a punch to save his life in 4.


Niggles aside I enjoyed watching it and Stallone was charming. Some of the references I didn't get. It was as always enjoyable to spend a couple of hours in the company of Rocky.


Some of the ideas for the follow up are way out there.
