Its the music, the soundtrack in the original rocky films just makes your hairs on your neck stand up. its amazing :)
 
I cannot wait too see this film. I can't remember looking forward to a movie like this for years, Bring it on Balboa and show us how it's done.
 
Just this min seen it, and its very very good and gone back to the roots of the first film.
Also it recognises everything that has happened in the other Rocky's and even Mike Tyson makes an appearance !!!
I will even go as far as I will see it again when I get back to the UK, whenever that is. At least the cinema wont be full of shouting cheering americans !!!

Can't believe no ones been and seen Rocky last night!

My verdict......if you like any of the rocky films then this is a must see it's quality!! Even if you hated the last couple of films forget them this is Balboa right back to his roots and his best, I'd say it's up there with 1 and 2 it's that good. Even the story doesn't seem as far fetched as you'd think and is really well done.

and if you don't look like this :D when you leave the cinema you are DEAD inside :p you'll be grinning like a loon when "that" tune starts up in the middle of the film.

Roll on Rambo 4 :p

Yeah but it helps when you're a millionaire who owns a supplement compay and has plenty of free time probably with a good chef on hand too.


I really liked the new Rocky film, in it's own right it's an ok film but the nostalgia aspect made it a very decent film for me. Rocky's training montages have to be some of my favourite cinema ever.

Funny thing is I thought he looked in better shape while shooting the tv show The contender. I think he added a bit of size for the Rocky Balboa movie, then when the premiere roled around you could see that he gained a bit of weight after as well, staying that lean all the time was probably a lot of hard work for him.
 
Saw it tonight - i'd give it a three out of five.

Went from cringeworthy to laughable - good entertainment nonetheless. Fight scenes were like something from the fast show (neverending fight sketch).

People say Stallone literally lives the Rocky role, and you can kind of see of see it here.

Still I had a fun night so it must've been alright :)
 
I saw it tonight.. i would give it a 7 out of 10 at least. When the tune kicks in.. man its great.. and theres some great lines in there for Stallone who does "live" Balboa..

Me and my mate came home, only to create Balboa, Drago and Clubber on Fight Night Round 3 and box seven shades out of each other.

If you liked the ones before.. dont miss this one.
 
I would have given it 5 out of 5 if Mr T was Rocky's trainer. Furthermore, I maintain that if he was - Rocky would have done better..... :p
