i was okay, im not the most huge fan of the rocky series and the fact that ive only actually seen this one may not be bodding well, but it was okay just not my cup of tea!
Stallone finally, regretfully, buries the franchise that put him on the map, simply reheating the old formula ... with a smidgen of sadness on the side. He is ever aware of his age and not shy about telling us that. He makes a point to toast those now departed, but like all th... read more
Don't remember too much about it but other then the fact that:
a) The narrative was entertaining enough to be interested in the "big fight".
b) The relationship story that stirs up between Stallone and Geraldine Hughes is pretty uninteresting.
Nevertheless, it does what it does p... read more
The best film that Stallone make since Rocky 3. Rocky Balboa presents all the elements of Rocky's franchise, just like others sequels of the first version. Despite, the excitation to see Rocky again, many years after Rocky 5 (1990), Rocky Balboa is a good, but, weak movie. The di... read more
Rocky Balboa is a genius finale to the most famous fictional boxer in film history, this movie was great. The plot is one about redemption and how to live with doing something you do not enjoy, and how the world tries to tell you what to do, and I just completely loved the story... read more
This is the return of Rocky, after a few "Rocky" films. This comback is incredible. Just to see this legend back on screen, doing what he did his best, tells a story on it's own. Sylvester Stallone brought this story back to life all on his own, and he did a beautiful job with it... read more
Surprisingly smart, "Rocky Balboa" aspires to inspire all to not let age halt your dreams. Like all Rocky films, the film ends with a rousing battle that teaches all that winning is not nearly as important as trying and succeeding
A great return/finale to an amazing series that needed a proper closing. Sylvester Stallone did such an amazing job writing, directing and starring in the most personal and heart-felt entry in the series since the first. I think this managed to make Rocky even more lovable than e... read more
A wonderful film, almost on a par with the original one, as Stallone has finally realized that the very best about the series was the human drama, not the punches - and I can say I was really moved by this piece of work.
As usual with Stallone's Rocky sequels, the schmaltz is unbearable, but the fight is plausibly handled, and Stallone's sincere sadness at growing older makes this an unexpectedly satisfying conclusion... Full Review
We're only one round into the film and Stallone is already slipping in the old flashbacks. Full Review
Touchingly nostalgic, the sixth chapter in the saga of Sylvester Stallone's eternal underdog packs a far more powerful punch than anyone would have expected. Full Review
A sequel that is at once preposterous, unnecessary and weirdly entertaining.
Rocky Balboa scores a split decision: A familiar start, some flat-footed middle rounds and a solid, flailing finish. Full Review
The first four-fifths of the film is a meandering lead-up to the inevitable getting-in-shape montage, run up the steps and a big fight. Up until that point, all Rocky does is talk. And talk. And talk. Full Review
Nothing that happens here is particularly touching, exciting or funny. Full Review
Stallone has said this is it for Rocky -- even if the film is major box office hit, there will be no seventh outing. If that's the case, it's hard to think of a better sendoff. Full Review
It's just good to see the guy, and it's good to revisit the character. And that's everything good to be said for the experience. Full Review
