...figure of his world-champion opponent. Rocky tries doing commercials, getting a white-collar job, getting his old meat-hauling job, and even toting water in the old gym. These scenes depart most from the old Rocky, but they're also the most deadly in the new film. Sure enough, eventually both Rocky's instincts and the need for something more exciting to end the movie with than Rocky staring at his comatose wife force Stallone to backtrack to his last closing scene--the one that make Rocky so popular...

This is too harsh, though even an addicted Muppet fan must admit that the movie has draggy stretches. The transition from the yank-'em-off-if-they-bomb lunacy of the TV show to the coherent narration of the film is not a complete success. Muppet magic remains a bewildering succession of wonderful bits, and perhaps the movie's best occurs when Rowlf...
