Rocky Balboa (2006)
9/10
Great movie, still has me thinking a week later
31 December 2006
I walked into a theatre almost feeling embarrassed to be seen in the queue and speaking to people almost apologetically (sp) for coming to see Rocky :-/ My first Rocky movie was No 3 and being 14 at the time i thought it was the best film i'd ever seen, and i still though No 4 was a good piece of "bubblegum" film (It's good for an hour or so then along comes the next piece)..

As i'm sure most will agree No 5 was rather poor, so i had very very little expectations for Rocky Balboa and thought to myself this is gonna be like sooooooooooo poor but *beep* it, i'll give it a try...

Spoke to some mates last weekend and said i'd be going to catch Rocky 6 at some point and i felt like i had to make excuses for it :) I must admit, my first though as i sat down to the movie was is he gonna win a-g-a-i-n and in what far-fetched way? But it really didn't matter at the end of the film Rocky won his own personal fight - i swear at the end of the movie as rocky left the ring i was just thinking why doesn't the ring announcer shut up already, it's irrelevant !! Anyways i walked out of that theatre with a big big smile on my face thinking if i bumped into Sylvester Stallone in the foyer right now i would take him by the hand and just say "Thank you"...

The perfect way to end the story of a legend When you usually go the the theatre you know what you're gonna get, and boy was i wrong, so wrong! Mr Stallone - Thank you x
