some thoughts on creed

I have to take a stand and say I do not like this new Rocky Movie. I do not want them to make it, and I hope it never sees release.

This is beyond and above overdoing it. I know what's going through stallone's head. Oh noes, I don't want to get to fucking 80 and never have made another Rocky movie. I get it.

But it's not fair to the fans to take rocky and drag him down to hell with you, stallone.

Rocky Balboa is as good as it gets for a 6th film. Which is never ever good, but some how some way by keeping the movie small and to some extent almost totally character driven, it's a hell of a lot better than even Rocky 4. Which is a videogame, not a movie.

I'm just like, totally pissed right now about it. About how maybe it'd be better if maybe this movie was more of a completely new movie divorced from the Rocky franchise. So now you're going to watch the rocky movies, see rocky all young and fit and in shape and going toe to toe with titans in the field, then all you're going to see at the end of the franchise is rocky looking fucking ready to go to his grave, that's it? That's how you're going to end it.

It's like making a Karate kid 5 or some shit like that and Ralph is in it and he's obviously not a kid anymore. Hell he wasn't even a kid in the first movie but he tricked the eye enough so they rolled with it.

Lame ass shit, all I got to say. Huge rocky fan, not going to bother seeing this movie because I know it's going to suck. I know Stallone is really losing his mind as he has to start considering leaving his youth behind forever.

Too fucking bad, son. I mean that doesn't mean you have to ruin your own franchises like this. It's like. When watching Rocky Bablboa it's a good movie, solid film, but Rocky OBVIOUSLY has aged beyond his form in the previous 5 films. Which makes it hard to see the film in the same line with the other movies. Rocky has always looked more or less like Stallone at around his mid 30s. To suddenly throw an old rocky at us for the next two movies just really is going to be a slap to our faces for having sat through his whole career in the previous films.

It's not fair and it's not fun to watch. Nobody wants to see their heros get old. No movies are made about super heros and stuff as old men. To suddenly make us sit and watch Rocky Balboa as an old man talking about his good old days, just going to piss all over the character. I know that's the real world, you live, you do stuff, then you get old and reminisce about the good old days and curse out the young punks today, yeah I get it... but Rocky is a Legend. Legends don't get old.
