    I liked it i knew it was going to be totally unbelievable with the fight scenes and etc, and i wern't expecting it to be good i was expecting another cheesy Rocky film but it was actually pretty good, not great but still good. I like how they brought back a few old characters as well so it gave you that old nostalgia feeling of the other older Rocky films, i also liked how they brought in HBO to give it more realism. Even though the fight scene was cheesy as hell and etc. It was still good and it ended the Rocky saga in a good way and thats what it deserved unlike Rocky 5. The only thing i don't like about Rocky is the lazy writing, Rocky was supposed to have a bad eye in the 2nd Rocky film or something ?? and when Micky tested him he couldn't even see the old man's slap coming, now in Rocky 3 when he takes a brutal beating from Lang, and in 4 when he takes inhuman punishment from Drago etc, you never ever hear anything about that again, its almost like the 2nd film didn't exist. But overall i still like all the Rocky's.

    I hear that about the eye,but he did turn orthodox and not southpaw which supposedly protected his bad eye.I am ashamed I actually said that.Well anyway good stuff.
