Rocky Balboa

The acting in the film is grade-A, with Stallone bringing the more mumbled Rocky from the first film spliced with some rousing inspirational monologues when the moment is right (not forced, not preachy… just perfect).

The movie itself, defying all odds, comes close to a knockout.

Surprisingly Rocky Balboa, is no embarrassment. Like its forerunners it goes the distance almost in spite of itself. It's all heart and no credibility except as a raw-boned fable.

Think you're too tough for a sentimental comeback story? Well, a few minutes with Rocky Balboa might just knock the cynic out of you.

If you hear the Rocky theme and think '118 118', you might wonder what all the fuss is about. For the rest of us, this is a reminder of why we fell in love with the character in the first place.

While Stallone likely hopes to go out with a bang, this small, manipulative movie doesn't have any real punch to it.

Above all this is a film for gluttons for punishment, for those who never ever can get enough of Sylvester Stallone. Everyone else, please leave the building.

You know surprisingly while i'm watching this one scene in the film and it's a very very powerful scene, i just realized that out of all five Rocky movie that i've watch, i've never mention a word "Inspiring", sure there is always one or two inspiring scene in the whole Rocky franchise but never as a whole, 16 years since the last Rocky movie, Rocky Balboa was just amazing, this is not one of those returns that are it's exciting because there is a new opponent who challenge Rocky and of course Rocky accept it even though he is old now, this movie is more than that, the loss, the friendship, the family, they really deepened that issue more and that's better because it creates this emotional journey after all those years, and it works perfectly, Sylvester Stallone and Burt Young performance are better than ever, Milo Ventimiglia as Rocky son was really good, and who would've thought that Little Marie from the first movie will be this very important and emotional characters in this film, while not played by the same actress, Geraldine Hughes was incredible as her, and Mason Dixon played by Antonio Tarver was a great opponent, Rocky Balboa is again very emotional and amazing, it's hard to get this type of thing right but Sylvester Stallone was smart enough to be the one that responsible, and it works again perfectly, i love this movie so much, i really really enjoyed it, and i ain't gonna lie to you that this movie made me have a glasses eyes couple of time, overall Rocky Balboa is one of the best sports movie i've seen, and it's also the most inspiring, the most emotional, and the most importantly the best one in the franchise, it's perfect.

The main problem of the movie is the credibility. So a 50+ year old man is boxing again after many years and fights against the dominating world champion...this is ridiculous, just like the fighting scenes without any defense. But the best part in the Rocky series is the character and story part for me, and this time they didnt kick so much like in the other Rocky parts.

A decent late Rocky movie with good performances and some strong scenes though still a far cry from the original.

ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES ever all they did was talk the whole time and rocky was like 60 fighting a 25 yr old and the match wasnt even legit this movie **** id rather be someones slave then watch it ever again.

Clichéd trash. How does a 70 year old hold his own against a current champ lmao the fight was hilarious too
