Short Review: Rocky Balboa.

I haven't done one of these since Hard Candy, but felt this movie couldn't really be reviewed any other way...

--------------

Premise:
Ex-Boxer gets back in the ring to face current champ.

Starring: Sylvester Stallone (who also wrote and directed), Burt Young, Milo Ventimiglia.

My reaction: The story was disjointed. The acting was mostly flat and pretty bad (specifically by Burt Young). The dialogue was even worse. Milo Ventimiglia was vastly underused. I haven't seen any of the other Rocky movies, but if this one was any indication, I might be better off. It wasn't a total waste, but it was pretty close. Even the training montage was bad... and it's insanely hard to screw up a montage.
