Coming out this Christmas.. Rocky Balboa or Rocky 6 more like it.

Apprently the angry video game nerd is hyping up this movie his own way by dissing on the terrible rocky game for the sega master system..

So anyways, i can't wait to see this movie. All 5 rocky movies were good. It got a good review from ign and a couple other movie sites.

I loved Rocky 1-4. So I can't wait for Rocky Balboa aka Rocky 5.





I refuse to acknowledge the "real" Rocky 5.

Alright, got around to writing my review:

You can read it here. (http://www.filmsy.com/reviews/rocky-balboa-2006/)

I liked the film. I'd probably rank it as my third favorite in the series (under Rocky I and Rocky IV).

That was a very good and well-written review..

Thank you. I will probably see this movie in the coming weeks, hopefully or wait till it comes to dvd.. Still, it's rocky and there hasn't been one in over 10 years. I also wanted to be picking up the rocky Anthology that has been re-released recently.

Just got around to seeing it after watching the first 5 over the course of a little over a week. It was enjoyable and the battle between Rocky and Mason Dixon was really entertaining. Good all around.

I've never realy seen all the Rocky movies (seen bits and pieces here and there) and I liked Balboa. I do need to watch the other 5 with my girlfriend....is it odd that she was the one who draged me to see Balboa?

I used to be against the titling of Rocky Balboa for this movie, i always thought this should be called Rocky VI. But after seeing this movie, it makes so much sense giving him the full name. After watching the movie, you realize that this film was more about the man, his life after boxing, what he's gone through and what he's dealing with. The main thing about this movie wasn't even about boxing... it was of who Rocky was as a person after the limelight was taken from him.

I'm a Rocky fan, so this might be the groupie in me talking... but I absolutely loved the movie. The fight was intense, the crowd was so into it. The film was very emotional. Less action, more development. I could dig that. And Rocky's speech to his son is one of the best speeches ever!

This movie was way better than I expected. IMO the second best movie of the series. They to some extent went the same route as Rocky V by showing him try to deal with life after boxing, but this time around it was better written and better performed. It's great to see the series ending on a good note.
