Rocky Balboa
Cinema's favourite slugger takes to the ring for one last dance at the ugly pug brawl. Nostalgic boxing fairytale from Sylvester Stallone
There is only one thing America loves better than a rags-to-riches story and that's a comeback. Sylvester Stallone, who kickstarted his own unlikely success story with Rocky in 1976, plays his Philadelphian Cinderella man for a sixth time in Rocky Balboa.
It has been a rocky journey for fans of the Italian Stallion. As the franchise absorbed the excesses of the ludicrous 1980s, a humble story about a lovable lug lost its way. From the crudely drawn ideas of the black American male's superior sexual potency (yes, Mr T) in Rocky III, the paranoid politics and outr?? fabulousness of ...
Rocky Balboa
Robert KoehlerAfter having seemingly been put out to pasture for good, the Italian Stallion returns after a 16-year hiatus for yet another comeback in Rocky Balboa. The time away from the ring has done Rocky and the franchise some good, although it takes pic a good long while to gather momentum and clout before a surprisingly satisfying third-act heavyweight bout. Absence has fostered a certain fondness toward Stallone's mythic underdog that will translate into solid if not quite K.O. B.O. through the holidays, with fine vid tourneys to follow in '07.

Throw the towl in before you rent!
The Rocky series has a place in my heart, I still have fond memories of my dad taking us to the pictures when we were young to Rocky 4, the atmosphere of popcorn being thrown at Ivan Drago...the boos...the hysterical chants of Rocky, Rocky, Rocky......the stand on hair montage at the finale with fantastic soundtrack.......now aged 34 the chance again to go and watch Rocky with my dad........
Bored stiff....literally for 90% of the film. It shouldntve been made in my opinion. It was slow and dull, painful even at times as it just isnt the same as the other Rocky films. The acting by Sly Stallone is wooden and is a far, far, cry from the films I grew up with.
Rocky fans will HAVE to watch this film, simple as that, even knowing it wont live up to its previous glory because that...
