Age-conscious critics laud implausible 'Rocky' sequel

Rocky Balboa did well enough in today's reviews, perhaps a reflection of a generation of reviewers sharing his age (60) and not seeing anything silly about an old man with his shirt off beating up a guy half his age.

Or perhaps the fact that there are youngsters who never saw the 30 year old original were thrilled to see him pound those sides of beef and take his walker up those steps.

Needless to say, I find the myth he's created interesting, but the movie to be sad, tired piffle.

True dat. Not only 60, but pretty damn SHORT for a heavyweight. Barely came up to my nose...
