I'm sure you all have heard about the movie "Rocky Balboa" that is coming out later this year. More-less it's Rocky VI. I'm a little excited about this movie...I liked all the Rocky's except for Rocky V. I'm sorry if this has already been a thread before on here.
Here's the Plot Outline:
In this new installment of the Rocky series, Rocky Balboa returns to the ring to fight the present world champion... It's been many years since Rocky Balboa has been in the ring. Through that time his wife Adrian died of cancer, and he and his son, Rocky Jr., have been growing apart. Rocky owns his own deli, and people will come in just to hear his stories. Now ESPN is holding these virtual boxing matches pairing up fighters from different eras, it is a competition. And in the end it showed that if there was a match between "Young" Rocky and the champion Mason "The Line" Dixion, Rocky would win. Seeing this virtual fight makes Rocky remember how much he misses being in the ring. He doesn't miss the winning part, he misses the sport. So he re-registers for his license... This creates a media firestorm, and who should hear about it but Mason himself. Paper View wont pay him anymore because they believe that he is fighting all second rate fighters, and that he's a "paper champion". So his people suggest a fight between him and Rocky. Dixon agrees... The opportunity is brought to Rocky who at first is a little cautious at first, but soon agrees also. Now it is a Battle of the Ages. A true battle of Will v.s. Skill. With the help of Paulie, Tony (his old trainer), and of course his son, it is truly, his final countdown.

I loved how Rocky put an end to the "Cold War" in Rocky 4. I am a fan of all the Rocky movies except 5...I mean come on, he gets back from fighting and his kid who was about 6 at the time in R4 is about 11 or 12 in a matter of days. I'll go watch this one because it's a great movie series, but maybe they should've stopped after 4.

When you consider movies being "Oscar" material, they should have stopped after two. The first one bagged the Best Picture Oscar, and the second one was nominated. The rest haven't been nominated for anything. BUT, they have been quality, entertaining movies. So, for the sake of entertainment, this movie is a good idea. Otherwise it isn't. I however, am all for it, just not a big fan of having them write Adriean out of the script, saying she died of cancer. I mean come one, we already lost Mikey and Appollo, gives us a break!

Barbourville? That's awesome, I have family in Corbin. The only thing that made me sad when hearing about "Rocky Balboa" (aka "Rocky VI") was knowing Stallone had to have chest implants.

Cant wait to see the newest Rocky. The first 4 were excellent and Im like everyone else the 5th one was pretty bad. But the 6th installment should be a dandy

I seen a spoiler that showed him with his hands up at the end..but I'm thinking it's just him saying he's quitting the game for good. I may be wrong though.

He barely filmed this movie without needing a walker to come through the tunnel

It comes out December 22.
If it's anything like the first 4 it should be pretty good.

the release date has been changed to December 20th. I have read reviews from critics and everyday joes who have caught first screenings of the film in big cities, and they all are raving about it. Some say it is the best Rocky yet and others say it is the best with the exception of part 1. I have also heard this is Oscar material.
