I love the fact that every coming of age generation has “their Halloween” film. For me it was H20 in Freahman year of High School. Not the greatest but it still means something to me. I hope in 20 years someone will be looking back fondly at this one as their movie, before going into the latest.
To quote another movie.
“You’ll never grow old, Michael. And you’ll never die. But you must feed.”
“Ninjas don’t hug.”
This movie basically ripped my skull open, went into my brain, picked out a thousand of my favorite Pop Culture fixations, threw them in a random reference generator, gave it the plot to A New Hope, sold me a cherry coke and said “Enjoy”.
A gift from Uncle Stephen to the fanboys he raised. Thanks Uncle Steve. You still give the best presents.
“Break him, again.”
Good God the chills running down me during this movie. The scenes with Drago and Rocky were so tense, I thought I was going to break. The story, the cameos, the everything, I couldn’t have imagined a better way to do this movie.
I need that Creed III, and I need it soon.
Jesus Christ, that was beautiful.
Would of loved to have seen the 70mm roadshow version, but this was truly amazing, no matter what the conditions.
Cinnemark had a screening of the '89 Classic the day before my birthday. A coincidence? I think not!
Still holds all the magic on the big screen just like it did when I saw it at the local theater in 1989. I might be turning 33 tomorrow, but this made me feel like that 6 year old all over again.
