Review of Grudge Match (2013) by Ian G — 23 Jan 2014
The coming together of franchises with Rocky and Raging Bull (although the titular characters go by different names), has been in the works for what seems like an eternity but I am assuming due to the leads finally relenting to let it happen has made its way to the big screen with mixed results.
A lot of old time film buffs would want something more monumental or would have prefered to see both of their beloved cinematic boxers to fight in their prime as opposed to as gereatric old men. Best seen as a somewhat lighthearted look back at old warhorses looking back at their victories as opposed to anything else.
A couple of nods throughout to both franchises benchmarks in terms of set pieces and scenes, but otherwise in terms of these projects meh.
