Why were some disappointed with the film Rocky Balboa?

[Douglas]

Rocky Balboa (IMO known as Rocky VI), was a lot like Rocky I and Rocky II. In those 2 films, not a whole lot goes on action-wise until later on in the movie. It just tells us a lot about the character and what all's going on. In Rockys, III, IV, and V, though, there's a pretty good bit going on throughout the entire movie. And I guess people were expecting VI to be that way too.

I thought it was great. It was sad though how Rocky's wife Adrian had passed away.

I enjoyed the film...BUT


The answer you're looking for is that he gave that tit a starring role. I wish Rocky had beaten Tarver, and then afterwards have Tarver acuse Paulie of spiking his water.

Well, I have to say I liked it.

The problem was upon rewatching it; it was too short.
The film, was pretty good in what it showed, but just didn't show enough. The fact is many of us wanted it to be great, not good, so many were disappointed.

Also, I think the actual boxing content was too little and flawed. Stallone added too much muscle for an old guy and was too competitive. I would have thought a better ending was to aspire to go the distance, like he did with Creed in the first.

I also went to the movies to see this and thought it was good.Just some scenes were a little hard to listen to if think about it.When Rocky and Paulie are going to all the old places him and Adrian went to.The acting just wasn't good in those scenes.But it did make up for it in the training and fight in the end.
