Rocky Balboa
I just found out a couple of days ago that Rocky will be entering the ring for the final time this Winter for the final Rocky film. It will be called “Rocky Balboa”. I was quite excited to hear about it, because I’ve always been a huge Rocky fan. I have all of the movies except for Rocky V, which I could care less about. What does everyone think about this? Is it going to be cheesey because he’s so old? I think it will be alright. It’s kinda crazy though because Adrian is dead?!? Maybe we will be spared the “Yo Adrian” at least.
The greatest underdog story of our time is back for one final round of the Academy Award-winning Rocky franchise. Former heavyweight champion Rocky Balboa steps out of retirement and back into the ring, putting himself against a new rival in a dramatically different era. After a virtual boxing match declares Rocky Balboa the victor over current champion Mason “The Line” Dixon, the legendary fighter’s passion and spirit are reignited. But when his desire to fight in small, regional competitions is trumped by promoters calling for a rematch of the cyber-fight, Balboa must weigh the mental and physical risks of a high profile exhibition match against his need to be in the ring.
Just wanted to say that Jennifer, Kelly and I went to see Rocky Balboa the day before Christmas. I went in not expecting too much and was prepared to be let down. Surprisingly, it was a very good ending to the Rocky series. Rocky V didn’t really tie up the loose ends. All in all, it didn’t seem unrealistic and the movie was right on target. Good job Sly.
