About this product

Product Information

ROCKY BALBOA, the sixth installment of the long-running film franchise, should amount to nothing more than a lame punch line to a TONIGHT SHOW monologue joke. However, just as his longtime corner man Paulie describes the Italian Stallion himself, this movie is all heart. Thirty years after Sylvester Stallone first introduced the underdog backroom brawler from Philadelphia in the Oscar-winning ROCKY, Rocky Balboa returns for one last dance. Speculation as to whether Balboa, in his prime, would have been able to defeat lackluster champ Mason "The Line" Dixon spurs Dixon's management to set up an exhibition fight between the two. That Balboa is in his 50s in the film and wouldn't be sanctioned to fight anyone, let alone a man 30 years his junior and in the prime of life, must be left up to the viewer's ability to suspend disbelief. To its credit, however, the movie addresses at every turn the insanity of a man approaching 60 getting back into a boxing ring, and Balboa's impassioned explanation of his motivations is just believable enough to give all other improbabilities a free pass.Though it may sound like faint praise, this is the best ROCKY movie since the original. It's very much a love letter to Philadelphia, and Stallone, who wrote and directed the movie, shoots everything with an unflinching eye that humanizes the mean streets of the City of Brotherly Love and evokes the gritty dignity of the original film. And while Burt Young's cantankerous Paulie and Tony Burton's Duke both return, Talia Shire, sadly, does not reprise her role as the beloved Adrian. It's revealed early in the film that Adrian has died of cancer, and it's the pain of that tragedy that ultimately fuels Rocky. Boxing as a metaphor for life is certainly nothing new, but Stallone makes a legitimate contribution to the tradition with ROCKY BALBOA. Life hits harder than any man can, and one's ability to keep getting up until the final bell rings is the true measure of self. Corny? Perhaps. But when Bill Conti's legendary score kicks in and Rocky starts pounding the heavy bag, the metaphor feels truly profound.

Age may rob the body, but the heart of a winner is never defeated by time.
I enjoyed this retreat to the original Rock character. A retired boxer who seems satisfied running a restaurant & bar and recounts stories of his past glory during his career of as a boxer. His son resents the fact that he lives in the shadow of his father's reputation in a neighborhood where he is a has been. Like the movie grudge match a computer boxing game stirs interest in his former prowess as a boxer & when the current heavyweight champion becomes frustrated that a computer simulation makes him a loser to the former champion. In a "exhibition match" Rockey recaptures his self respect and shows the world that age may slow down the body, but the spirit of a winner isn't demished by time.I enjoyed this retreat to the original Rock character.

Rocko finds what he is looking for...
Rocky Balboa (2006) has been heralded by a number of film critiques as “the best (Rocky) since the original.” It is certainly high praise as its predecessor (Rocky (1976)) is now enshrined in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress “as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” Rocky (1976) also garnered three Oscars including Best Picture, Best Film Editing, and Best Director. As for Rocky Balboa (2006), it gave the viewing public one last chance to say goodbye to an icon as the film devotes a considerable amount of time to several of the franchises characters and landmarks as “Rocko” revisits a few sentimental sites (e.g., the old Balboa apartment, Adrian’s pet store, ice skating ring, etc.) as well as catches up with past characters (who ...

In many respects, Rocky Balboa can be likened to an aging Michael Jordan who came out of his second retirement to play for the Washington Wizards in 2001. Both men’s legacies—regardless of the outcome—were still apparent and secure. The crowd adored them—and like Jordan (who said upon his return to the game of basketball, “…what I’m trying to do is get that last scratch in,) Balboa had his own quotable quote when he said, “there is some still stuff in the basement…right here (pointing to his gut).” Thirty years since his first fight against Apollo Creed and twenty years since he turned back the might of Russian’s Ivan Drago—the 60 year old Robert “Rocky” Balboa, Sr. (57 wins, 23 losses, 1 draw, 54 by way of knockout) still needed to prove something to himself by getting the tar kicked out of him. Needless to say, the unlikely endeavor exorcise the beasts from within and helped "Rocko" find what he was looking for… Peace.

Depends on what they meant by the symbolism
Hm. When we all said goodbye to a remarkable hero many years ago, we got around to accepting that this might be the last we see of Rocky for awhile. And good-he was hanging onto his glory if by a shred. Here's another movie, and true to form, this wonderful movie is as much or more about what happens outside of the ring as in it. Good inspiration once again, and streetwise wisdom from a guy whose hardships highlight his glory. There is plenty of both. The problem is, we all know Rocky can't be in the ring forever, but the constant harping on his age and his status as a has-been (albeit a loved has-been) get old. We got the point after the first few jabs. And we'd rather not see Rocky that way. His glory must change-we know that. But the focus should be on what he's doing now, not on what ... Hm.

And for the guy who "still has stuff in the basement," his anticlimactic stroll out of the ring without even knowing whether or not he won is disappointing. And the final scene (I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it) make us wonder if this is going to be the end of the Rocky movies. If it is, we didn't need this movie. We said our goodbyes long ago. If we will be delighted by more, however, a future movie will need to focus heavily on the real issues and struggles pertaining to what he's doing now-not another painful stroll down Nostalgia Lane. Still, if you're a Rocky fan, you need to see this movie. You owe it to yourself.

On Par With Most Rocky Movies
The good news is that after all these years, Rocky Balboa wasn't a terrible movie, that bad news is that it hasn't improved too much. If you were a fan of the old, underdog boxing films that were rampant throughout the 80's, then don't miss this final installment in the life of everyone's favorite underdog. If you found the earlier films too melodramatic for your tastes, your opinion probably won't have changed much in the last 20 years. If you are new to the series, here's what you need to know. Rocky Balboa is a long time retired boxer. He had some incredible fights as a younger boxer, competing with opponents who were much stronger favorites than he. He's been retired for years, but now as a much older man, he feels the need to come back for one last big fight. Most of the movie ...

He's been retired for years, but now as a much older man, he feels the need to come back for one last big fight. Most of the movie has very little to do with boxing and a lot to do with the little lessons you learn in life. That means the film is less about face paced sporting events and more about relationships and drama. This can be either a good or bad thing depending on what you are expecting and what you like. All in all, Sylvester Stalone does a great job directing and staring in this final film and there's a little bit here for everyone. As I said at the beginning, the movie isn't terrible, but it's not very original either. In the end though, Rocky Balboa good enough to recommend.

Good film, needed a little something more though
Rocky Balboa is pretty decent. It won't win any awards but it is definitely worth a watch or two. Although it was nothing special and was really just a rehash and mashed up version of previous Rocky films it still had that little something special. I'll have to be honest though, I thought the concept was stupid and completely unbelievable until I saw Randy Couture knock Tim Sylvia into next week at UFC 68. This movie had a decent story and some pretty good performances. The boxing action wasn't up to par for me but this movie is more about the story and less about the boxing. Although it's not my favorite Rocky film it still ranks up there with all the others. Final Verdict: 4/5 Worth buying? I'm not a huge Rocky fan so I won't be buying it, but anybody who loves boxing or the ... Rocky Balboa is pretty decent. It won't win any awards but it is definitely worth a watch or two.
