Rocky Balboa

I just finished watching Rocky Balboa and to be honest it's not as bad as I anticipated. Mind you, it's not the film of the year either. For starter, there's only one fight (the final sequence). That's quite a relief because I didn't fancy looking at Stallone on a ring for 2 hours - no offence but he's a bit too old for that now. Then, the story is more focused on the characters than the boxing (a bit more depth in the story doesn't hurt). However, it has a kind of hard-to-beleive feeling to it. I can't really pin-point the exact reasons but it just sounds a bit off. The final fight is not bad though.
Not sure I'll recommend it but it wasn't so bad for a Monday evening movie.
