It was an acceptable film, though it lost sight of the elements that initially made it worthwhile. Stallone isn’t featured in this installment, which is disappointing; it seems he’s already deciding to step away. That feels rather foolish to me. I'd prefer to see him continue with boxing and more matches—it always boils down to just a single fight. I don’t know, he appears too young to retire, and the prospect of watching him transition into a trainer role, similar to Rocky, isn’t appealing.
