Rocky Balboa
When he loses a highly publicized virtual boxing match to ex-champ Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), reigning heavyweight titleholder Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver) retaliates by challenging the Italian Stallion to a nationally televised, 10-round exhibition bout. To the surprise of his son (Milo Ventimiglia, TV's Heroes) and friends, Rocky agrees to come out of retirement and face an opponent who's faster, stronger and thirty years his junior. With the odds stacked firmly against him, Rocky takes on Dixon in what will become the greatest fight in boxing history, a hard-hitting, action-packed battle of the ages! more

3 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line:Suprisingly just about everyone, Stallone decided to make a real movie with Rocky Balboa instead of the cartoons that had preceeded it; the only sequel that is true in spirit to the original, it can be a bit slow in the first half but it's a worthy film and a fine capper to the...

a pleasant surprise from sylvester stallone
This movie is arguably the best one in the series, minus the original. It's not about the aging Rocky that's been overexposed by the American public. No, it's the story of a former boxer whose nostalgia for his former days of glory haunt his every move. His son doesn't understand, people from his...

a better end to the series
Rocky Balboa is pretty much what you'd expect. Rocky's retired from boxing and running a little Italian restaurant where he gives fellow former boxers free meals and entertains the customers with stories from his days as the champ. But Adrian's dead, and Rocky's living in the past, and their son...

Not Rocky Enough For Me
Everything that made the best "Rocky" movies ("Rocky," "Rocky III," and "Rocky IV") blissfully entertaining appears conspicuously absent in Sylvester Stallone's new movie "Rocky Balboa" (** out of ****), reputedly the last Harri for the "Rocky" character. Chiefly, "Rocky Balboa" lacks spontaneity...

A Good Movie
This movie wasn't bad. Sly is getting old; he had some fat on him in this film. It was said in the commentary that Sly wanted the boxing match to be realistic and not cinematic. That's why Mike Tyson was in the film. A couple of famous HBO Boxing Ring Announcers, such as Jim Lampley and Max...

A positively uplifting and heartfelt winner!
What exactly is age, aside from a number?For far too long, I have read so many endless attacks against Harrison Ford and Sylvester Stallone simply because they both dared to revisit characters they immortalized in the 1980s. I will never again lend a second's credence to such shameless...

a truly great movie
I wasn't sure what to expect with the news that a new Rocky movie was in the works. I thought to myself "Well, maybe this is just TOO much and the series should have stayed in the past where it belongs". BUT, I was wrong.This movie really surprised me with the amount of emotional scenes. More...

No Adrian
Maybe it's because I was a little kid when the first Rocky came out but they do it for me for some reason. Most of them. Rocky 5 was awful. As I sit here I can't remember if I ever saw the entire movie. I think I always bailed out of it before it was over. I never thought that one was worthy of...
