The return of ‘Rocky’ rings true
AFTER seeing “Rocky Balboa,” I strongly disagree with the letter written by Kenneth L. Zimmerman [Letters, Dec. 24] who “would rather see Rocky 6 feet under.” I loved this movie. Stallone is a mensch whose warmth and humanity shine through his script and acting. He takes his lumps, is self-deprecating and is in great physical shape. This film definitely represents closure for the “Rocky” saga. It’s right up there with the original “Rocky.”
