Pros: A fine return to form for the popular film series Cons: Doesn't quite measure up to the original series
In 1976, Sylvester Stallone introduced movie audiences to Rocky Balboa, a Philadelphia boxer who rose from obscurity when he is given the opportunity to get into the ring with the heavyweight champion. In the first Rocky movie, Balboa found ...
Pros: Stallone, Story, Direction, Supporting Cast, Music Cons: A bit slow but worth waiting for
Rocky Balboa (2006) The Rocky story has spanned a half dozen films and three decades and this one Rocky 6 or as it is really called Rocky Balboa is the next best to the original Oscar winning Rocky. This one shows ...
Pros: A triumphant return for one of our most beloved characters. Cons: Takes too long to get started.
When I first heard that Sylvester Stallone wanted to make yet another Rocky film (the sixth in the series that started way back in 1976 and the first new installment since 1990’s Rocky V) I was pretty incredulous. Stallone, now in his ...
Pros: Great writing and story Cons: Should've cast a bigger guy against Rocky
This might sound funny, but I actually learned something from Rocky Balboa. There was a scene, which I’ll discuss later, that really tapped me on the chest and nearly brought me to tears. Of all the movies out right now, this was pretty low on my ...
This was supposed to be a big joke. As the fourth sequel to a sleeper hit about an over-the-hill underdog given a shot at the bigtime, the beyond-bad Rocky V was supposed to be the nail in the coffin of a franchise that looked like the Energizer Bunny ...
Pros: The story is touching and the movie is surprisingly well done. Cons: The A/V quality of the DVD is crap.
While I love the hell out of the Rocky series, I've never been much a fan of the first one. Oh sure, it's a good drama and interesting character study, and I admire that Rocky in fact lost the Big Fight when the genre demands that the underdog ...
Pros: Excellent script, great fight scenes, very emotional Cons: Some may feel the fight scene was impractical
I went to Canada with my family over the Christmas holidays and one night my parents decided it was a good time to go to ‘the show’ (as we Canucks say.) Anyway, my mother was so excited because Charlotte’s Webb was playing. My dad and I couldn’t ...
Pros: Excellent imagery, story and acting. Cons: none worth noting
30 years ago a little known actor peddled a story of a fighter who gets a "one in a million" chance to fight for the championship of the world. He insisted he play the lead part. He was turned down by many a film company. Eventually Sylvester Stallone ...
Pros: Inspirational message. Acting. Cons: Pacing a bit slow. One character didn't ring true for me.
The original Rocky film was released in 1976 and quickly became a favorite for any sports fan who roots for the underdog. In that film Sylvester Stallone perfectly captured the life of "Rocky Balboa", a fledgling Philadelphia boxer who yearned for ...
Since it's release in 1976, Rocky has become a touchstone of America cinema at a time when a lot of movies in that era were very serious and talking about politics. The film told the tale of a club boxer from Philadelphia who goes all the way ...
Pros: A story of someone overcoming incredible odds to follow his dream Cons: Cheesy Golden Palace.com advertisements placed in the film
Anyone who was ever a Rocky fan at any point in the Rocky series should see Rocky Balboa, even if you hated Rocky 5, and didn't care about the franchise again. Rocky Balboa rewrites the legacy of the Rocky films and wraps it up and leaves you feeling ...
Pros: Script. Direction. Plot. Ugh. Cons: It is sincere.
After walking out of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa, my first thought was: HOW THE %*#@ DID THIS RECEIVE GOOD REVIEWS?! Do you see that? "%*#@." The feeling was so bizarre that even a proper cuss-word couldn't justify it. This is a ...
Pros: Ties in well to the previous films, touches all the nostalgia bases. Cons: More about nostalgia than anything else...one more for old time's sake.
There was a time when Rocky Balboa was the undisputed king of the movie screen. Originally Rocky inspired a nation of would be fitness buffs to train hard with improvised equipment in hopes of being the best they could be. An entire genre was spawned ...
Pros: brisk pace, good usage of darkness and lighting, new depth for old character Cons: occasional clunky dialogue
I wanted a 12:40AM movie that wouldn't put me to sleep. Rocky Balboa was more than adequate for this purpose. And it generated far more sympathy than I would have thought possible for a protagonist on such a potentially self-destructive quest, one who ...
Fame can often be a fleeting thing. For Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), his days of money and the limelight are behind him. In “Rocky Balboa”, Rocky spends his time managing his restaurant and sharing stories form the ring to customers ...
