While I honestly expected another movie of:
Adrian doesn't want him to fight
Rocky wants to fight
Rocky trains but is not committed
Adrian finally supports him
Rocky trains and eventually wins
I was suprised to see the personal spin of his dealing with the death of his spouse. The personal anguish was difficult to watch from such a iconic figure of the silver screen. Yet he still maintains his self respect and dignity.
I am not a true Rocky fan, but after this film, I will miss the character.
This final chapter in the rocky series is adrenaline pumping knockout. Like all the Rockys this one is about a underdog working his way up and over coming the most impossible odds. Rocky proves that an athletic worrior's strenght isn't how hard he hits, but how hard he can get hit and keep going. I give this movies 5 stars!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE GOT A HOT ONE TONIGHT!!!!! YO ROCKY, THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO WATCH A ROCKY MOVIE IN THEATERS INSTEAD OF WATCHING ON TV WITH A DOZEN COMMERCIALS, DEFINETLY WORTH THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie was beautiful. Yep, a Rocky movie that was beautiful. I remeber when i was a kid we would make fun of a Rocky movie when he was old. well they pulled it off with grace! the movie isnt about boxing even though it has boxing in it,it is about aging gracefully, being a wonderful role model, seeing the beauty wisdom, family, letting go while holding on. This movie is pure poetry. Best Line: It isnt about how hard you get hit is about how hard you get hit and still get up.
