the only problem with too many sequels is they run out of story lines,
don't get me wrong -- i liked the rocky movies, but how many times can
rocky come back in the end to win a fight.  we've seen that story line
3 times.  enough is enough.  or maybe this time his kid will be old
enough to fight and then the next movie after that it could be his
grandson and so on,..........
