August 27, 2009I love Rocky and this is a fitting and tastefully made final instalment. Like a fine wine, Rocky has matured well, and although this is by no means a perfect film, it did feel like a special treat, like a 'Go on then, just one more' treat.

April 18, 2009Never been a fan of this franchise and this 1 didnt help 2 change my mind, I thought it was ridiculous actually but it had the best message.

March 19, 2009The age vs. youth element adds a whole new dynamic to the character. Will not disappoint Rocky fans.

September 28, 2008Watching Rocky Balboa enter the ring is a lot like watching an aging classic rock band on a reunion tour. They play the hits, but they don't sound as good. They lack the energy but they give it all they have and somehow just the sheer power in one final Hurrah is enough to keep i...( read more)

November 6, 2009Pleasantly, pleasantly, pleasantly surprised how good this is. After Rocky 5 I felt Sly Stallone has fallen to a new low, but he pulls a gem out of his pocket with the final Rocky movie. Very strong and very well-acted. Worth multiple viewings.

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

Ultimately, is Rocky Balboa necessary? Of course not. But neither are plenty of other movies that find their way to theaters, and this one at least provides some undemanding entertainment. full review

I gotta admit that I had a pretty good time watching this 94th film in a series that started 30 years ago. full review

By remembering the little things that made the first film so successful in the first place, Sylvester Stallone has made the best "Rocky" film since the original. full review

The surprise of the season. Balboa is back, and if this truly is the finale, he's going out like a champ.Rocky will have you cheering all over again. full review

Rocky still has some life left in him, and so does the franchise. As Rocky himself might have said, who wouldda thunk? full review

Does Rocky Balboa deliver? Weirdly enough, it does: I was jumping out of my seat during Rocky's bout. full review

Just when you're ready to puke, the old Bill Conti theme ('Gonna Fly Now') kicks in -- are you feeling it? -- Stallone steps in the ring and every day is Christmas. All together now: Rock-ee! Rock-ee! full review

June 18, 2007Ok. Well tbh i didn't want to see this movie in the 1st place...lol. My mom is a big fan of Rocky and so i just went to the thearter with her. When i saw the movie, i thought that it was pretty good. Definatly not as bad as i thought. I'm not a fan of boxing and that's why i thought it was bad. I suggest to people who don't like boxing to still see the Rocky movies because there is a story behind it. I recently saw the 1st and the 3rd movie. The first thing that i said was ' woaaa!! He's sooo much younger in this movie! In this one- he's so old'. We obviously, lol bcuz it's been like 20 years. I don't think that this was the best out of the Rocky movies. I like it- but it's not the best. I really don't like that Adriane dies. I really really really think that was NOT nessasary! It would of been better NOT to have made another movie if they were going to killl her! Well Talia Shire probably didn't want to make another movie, and everyone else did so they mad it without her...
Anyways, that's my one complaint about this movie.
Ok, so to make things more clear :
I liked this movie. But i don't think it was the best out of them all. I STRONGLY don't like that Adriane dies. -
June 3, 2007Seeing the movie a 2nd time makes me realise a little bit more. First of all this was definetly not the best Rocky movie, nor do I think it was the best way to end the legacy. I felt like Rocky 5 had a better conclusion. With Rocky at the top of those steps with his son, looking forward to whatever the future brings. In my opinion this movie focused too hard on depression. Which was lengthy , and cemented it self too early. It generaly brought the pace and direction of the story to a slow path downhill. There just wasn't enough that was inspirational until the fight itself. I hate to say this movie was lacking spirit but, the shoe does fit. However, strong moral values are consistent throughout the film without being preachy. A good lesson being taught from this story is,that it's true heros get old just like everyone else, but what makes a hero is whats inside and that never gets old and never becomes weak.
