I have to admit when I heard there was going to be another "Rocky" movie I had to laugh. In fact I did skip seeing the last two when they were playing on the silver screen.
Don't get me wrong I loved the first "ROCKY". I was 9 when the movie came out and saw it 3 times at the movies!
So I ended up catching both "ROCKY IV" AND "ROCKY V" on Home Video and I thought "Rocky IV" was "silly". "Rocky V" well it had it moments but the big fight at the end was a street fight! Well "ROCKY V" was a bomb! I thought that was the last "ROCKY" movie that was ever going to be made! However the only box office hit Sly has been in since "ROCKY IV" was "CLIFFHANGER" and "Spy Kids 3". And Sly needed a hit so he pressed for and got "ROCKY BALBOA" made!
Sly for years had been trying to get "ROCKY 6" made. I couldn't blame studio heads for saying "no" in fact if I ran the studio I would of said "NO". However the movie did get made and I hate to say it but I will be honest "IT IS THE BEST ROCKY SEQUEL SINCE ROCKY II".
Yes the movie goes by the numbers however every moment in the movie rings true! I love the fact that there bring back key moments from the first Rocky. The movie makes you feel like no matter what anything is possible. Everyone if you loved the first "ROCKY" trust me you will love this as well! Sylvester Stallone wrote and directed. I must say he knows what he is doing!
