Does the person who wrote this know anything about these movies at all and did they watch Rocky Balboa?First off I have yet to meet a fan of the movies who doesn’t like IV.Yes we all hated V but thats it of course none of the sequels lived up to the gritty “real”movie feel of the original but the first three sequels are not without their individual charms.Rock never sees a doctor in the movie,the question is also never raised over whether he would beat Dixon at that time but whether he would have in his prime the fight is made not to see who would win but to increase Dixons popularity.Finally Adrian never died in any of the movies you tool.In future when reporting on movies that have such a cult following maybe it would be best to have someone who has a clue wrighting a reveiw.

I liked Rocky Balboa. Of all the crap in the local theater it was the best. It is very probable that if a man works hard all his life he will be fit at 60. Too much Ease and Comfort are what ages us. In a neighboring state of Mongolia two 80 year old men carried a grand piano over 60 miles for the king or local hetman. One of the things I liked in Rocky Balboa is that all of the actors spoke their lines clearly. Not like most films where female actors blend words in their lines and sound like a chipmonk. Even with my digital hearing aids I find some female actors hard to understand.

Small nitpicks: Rocky’s business is not a “deli,” but a mid-range, full-service restaurant, with a hostess providing seating and reservation services.

The speech you quote isn’t the one he gave in rsponse to a doctor–in fact, no scene shows a physician. The only time medicine is mentioned is during the hearing of the boxing commission, and the medical report is positive; the medical report quoted gives Rocky a green light to fight. As for the speech you quoted above regarding “taking the hit”…he gave that speech in response to his son’s complaint about the negative effect this exhibition match might have on the son.

I had to scan over the review and think I saw something I didn’t want to! Did you give the ending away of Rocky Balboa??? I hope not. If so, please say SPOILER next time. We’d appreciate it!

Hey retard, Adrian didn’t die in a previous installment, she died off screen between Rocky 5 & Rocky Balboa
