I would rate this movie as a 9. I saw Stallone a couple times on Christian shows promoting his movie. I thought this interesting. I enjoy the Rocky series. I really enjoyed Adrian and Rocky's relationship. I didn't see Christian overtones. Rather, it is undertones and you have to connect the dots.
This movie is true to the first movie. Rocky continues to reach out to the underdogs of this world. In creating this movie, he never broke character. I like that. It has been quite a few years and making a new one it is easy to use new stuff and to forget what you learned from your history.
This movie is dirty. It takes place in the same dirty neighborhoods of PA. He still lives in there. You see that he did not take his fame inside. He stayed true to who he is. That is what makes him loveable.
Adrian is still a major part of his life in spirit... Yes, someone tried to keep that from me before I saw the movie, but I kinda knew...
Stallone wrote the movies. And he did admit that the first and this final movie are autobiographical. No wonder I like him... He is a gentle giant. He takes underdogs under his wings. To me that is pretty special. I remember that deep feeling I had as a little girl and that desire to see underdogs succeed....
