I expected an epic movie here because of the last two, but I was a little disappointed, even a little shocked, at how weird this movie was. From back to front, I didn't understand the strange little acid trip-type boxing scene doesn't make sense in a boxing movie. The fact his mom died, but Rocky was never even mentioned to what happened to him. Did he die? Storyline was off. The flashbacks were spread out too far away should have just given it to me immediately. And then the mom drops the bomb. At the end not having Rocky in it was what took me off guard, but it is what it is.
