If you're thinking this is just another ROCKY movie....you're wrong. Rocky Balboa is a really great follow up and finish to the ROCKY series. It's nothing like the previous films, except for maybe the original ROCKY.
The movie catches up with where Rocky is today...which finds him living in Philadelphia and owning a small Italian restaurant. Rocky seems to be living in the past as he has to deal with the recent loss of his wife Adrian and the almost non-existent relationship he has with his son. Rocky has the opportunity to get into the ring one more time with the reigning world champ and this helps Rocky deal with his past and current relationships.
Some of the great ROCKY characters have returned, such as Paulie (Rocky's brother-in-law) and a few others. We also get to see some quick flashbacks to previous Rocky films. Fortunately, no mention of ROCKY V appears!
The visual style is also quite different from previous ROCKY films. Stallone has done a great job going back to the character's roots and brings a worthy close to the ROCKY franchise. I won't spoil the ending for you, but it's probably not as you might guess.
I would recommend seeing this film if you're a ROCKY fan.

Growing up watching Rocky movies, I was just hopeful this would be another good movie like the original Rocky movie. It was great and had a lot of good life lessons in the movie. I really like the part when his is talking to his son about life.
Good Review "thewildman"
I wish Apollo would have been in it.
This movie was OK, It was better than the one with Mr. T, but it was not near as good as the original first 2 Rocky's. He looks really fake in this movie. You almost have to watch it if you love all or most of the other Rocky's.
this movie could suk it! the black guy won!
