Such a long sequence

Of Adrienne sleeping. It’s so long. Such an energy drop in the middle of a Rocky film.

I agree it could have been shortened. Perhaps the part where he reads to her as well as the scene where Pauline comes in with the flowers: those could have been cut

Such a stupid comment. Thank god you are not a director. The whole scene enhanced the mood of the rest of the movie
You dumb young people have zero patience when it comes to story telling.
You should stick to Michael Bay movies

I’m not saying eliminate the whole sequence involving Adrian’s coma. Just shorten it. We still get scenes of Rocky’s staying by her side as well as his praying for her. We just didn’t need it to go so long

God no
The scene is beautiful the way it is. It made you feel the longevity of Rocky’s angst

so what did you want 80 mins of training montage like rocky 4 instead?? I think it is great a slow build up and the perfect moment for the goose bumps moment of 'win' 'win'

it is character developments.

it is something great old movies have which shit new movies dont have. and the main reason why older movies are great and all newer movie are shit.

taking time to stay with character is what make film pay off better in end. it give heart. it what make the differents.
