Rocky Balboa, anyone seeing it?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brad Russ · 07-11-2006, 03:20 AM

I probably will just out of curiosity. Here's the films synopsis and trailer.

Sylvester Stallone's iconic boxer steps back into the ring for one final shot at glory in the belated final entry into the long-running film series that shot the popular action icon to superstardom in the mid-1970s. Rocky Balboa has long been retired from the sport of boxing, though after suffering a devestating personal tragedy and being personally challenged by a formidable up and comer, the ageing prizefighter vows to get back in shape and defend his standing against a new breed of figher whose powerful pugilistic skills threaten to tag a grim coda onto Balboa's enduring legacy. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I think it's gonna be a bomb and fail. Rocky's last movie should've never happened.

PrettyinPink55 · 07-11-2006, 12:30 PM

Probably for Milo Ventimiglia!

I read somewhere that the personal tragedy was............

Adrian's death.

I'll check it out since i'm a Stallone fan. I've seen most of his movies. I think he shouldn't have made a new Rocky movie. 5 Rocky's are enough.

TJL · 07-11-2006, 04:53 PM

There is a great photo of Sly duking it out in the ring in this week's Entertainment weekly. Will I go see it? Maybe.

Ireneparalegal · 07-11-2006, 05:47 PM

This should have stopped at Rocky 3.

TJL · 07-11-2006, 06:10 PM

I checked out the trailer in the link above, and I must say I liked it.

Maybe I will catch it this Christmas.

comedyfreak · 07-12-2006, 03:17 AM

I liked what I saw in the trailer, so I'm going to see this one.

Brian Damage · 07-12-2006, 10:45 AM

I'll see it, but I'll wait till it comes out on dvd.

Brad Russ · 07-12-2006, 11:06 AM

The guy who beat Roy Jones JR twice, and recently lost a fight to Bernard Hopkins (Antonio Tarver) plays the guy that Rocky fights in the movie. I think the film has a good premise, and can actually be good. Hopefully they didn't just put the good clips in the trailer, while the rest of the movie's crap, but I doubt that. If it's good, I'll probably see it atleast a couple times in theatres.

I think there's no doubt about that.

Unless I have the opportunity to get out to the movies when absolutely nothing worthwhile fits my timeslot.

I'd see it then.
