Clearly he hasn't seen the documentary "Teen Wolf" or "Teen Wolf Too".

Did anyone ever figure out whether the kid in Over the Top was a boy or a girl?

Saw it today. Just so you know, I'm a mark for these movies.
Spoiler space (just in case) It was an excellent movie and a great bookend to the series. I can't honestly see how they would produce another movie. A sequel to this one would tarnish the series. Anyhow, I went into it expecting more of Rocky IV, but it was more like Rocky. It wasn't a boxing movie; it wasn't about the fight at the end of the movie. It was a movie about a journey, getting old, and moving forward when you're hit. Anyhow, there were a bunch of great lines in the movie and it was well-written with great dialogue. I thought it flowed well, except the fight was somewhat sudden. It was like an exposition that went into "we're going to fight, training montage, fight". That being said, what led up to it was great. There were a few scenes that choked me up, like when Rocky told Paulie he had some stuff in the basement. Overall it was a predictable, cliched movie but a journey that was thoroughly enjoyable. The movie theater was packed for a 12:15 PM showing on a work day and they were really into it. I hate seeing comedies with a large crowd because I sometimes miss some of the lines, but with this movie it was great seeing it with a lot of other people who "marked out". A big thumbs up for me. |

Just got back from seeing it. Wow, what a great movie! The audience actually gave it a standing ovation. I agree with RA about the plot. Very well written.

And Rotten Tomatoes has it with a pretty good score. 75% and 79% of the Cream of the Crop reviewers.

Forgot to mention: Sylvester Stallone did a terrific job acting in the movie. Although he gets a meathead action movie star rep, he performed very well as Rocky Balboa. The other thing is that he could've made this into a "Passing of the Torch" thing either to his son or to Mason Dixon. That probably would've been a good way to spin a sequel or another movie franchise out of this, but thankfully they didn't.

Stellar reviews in both The New York Times and The Onion (whose movie reviews are very good, btw).

Okay, I just saw this movie as well. I was slightly skeptical about the reviews, but after seeing it, I know what Raiders Army is talking about. The pacing of the movie was great and that is due to the well written dialouge. And I also got chocked up with a few lines, but it wasn't the one that Raiders Army mentioned. My slight choke up occured when he was talking to his son about life in general.
And I didn't know if people noticed, but there are some characters that stem from the original Rocky that resurfaced and that was very cool. Anyways this movie will soon be in the DVD collection based on some of the great quotes.

Those are a great read. It really shows how much our image of Stallone is colored by his speech impediment (the left side of his face is partially paralyzed due to birth complications, I believe).

I just saw it, and it's definitely a movie that can stand on its own merit, unlike the previous sequels (which were all varying ranges of "bad" IMO). The character development is much deeper than in the sequels, and this movie does not center on the boxing action. Instead, the movie focuses on themes like respect, compassion, honor and dignity. I won't give away the ending, but the fight does not end like everyone would expect it to.
It's one of the best movies I've seen in a while. |

I saw this this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. We got to learn a lot more about what makes Rocky tick. It was a sad but uplifting movie at the same time. I highly recommend it to anyone who has their doubts about it.

I saw it again for the second time last night and I liked it even better the second time through. It was pretty funny picking up on some of the lines I didn't quite hear the first time.

I got the DVD and watched some of the Extra Scenes including the Alternate Ending. I must say I am very glad they stuck with the ending they did. The other one was really cheesy.
