I have a lot of respect for Sylvester Stalone. He's a talented artist and a wonderful writer and director. I loved this last Rocky movie...and I didn't really think I was going to. I heard Stalone say in an interview this film was a love note to Rocky fans and it really was. It's a great film to see with your kids. We saw it two days before Christmas and we felt like it was a wonderful gift for our family.Thanks Stalone!
