All Movies I've Watched in 2023
The Evolution of Sadie Sink
“Since I have seen all the 'Rocky' movies, even the recent 'Creed' installments, I was quite eager to see this movie focusing on Chuck Wepner, the guy who was actually the inspiration for Rocky Balboa. Well, eventually, to be honest, it turned out to be a decent watch but not much more than that, I'm afraid. First of all, there was eventually even less boxing than in the actual 'Rocky' movie. To make things worse, in my opinion, his fight with Mohammed Ali felt rather anticlimatic.

Oh it's well-made, sure, and the cast does an excellent job. But Chuck is not at all the type of person you'd want to spend much time with once you get to know him, and so I struggled to feel much sympathy for his plight. It doesn't help either that t"
BradWesley123's Movie Journal- August 2017 (30 movies items)" DVD- 1hr. 38min. First Viewing As with most modern boxing movies, there's not much that separates Chuck from any other boxing movie; all it can really do is work to hit familiar beats with more energy and pathos than most. Unfortunately, it can't do it; there's some fun moments here and there, and the cast is very strong, but it's just sort of "fine". It's not really a boxing film though, more a film about a boxer; i.e. fame and success are major themes, and the expected downward spiral doesn't"
