eva4ben-gal Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 This movie looks really good IMO and seems like a great way to wrap up the series since Rocky V was so disappointing. I can't wait for this to hit theatres. Looks like they have a good plot and the characters have gone through a lot since the last installment. Plus, with guys like Foreman coming out of retirement to fight in years past it is not unbelievable. I feel like the guy Eddie Murphy (I think it was him) described in his standup. Everytime I see that trailer and hear that music I just want to take on the world. I don't know what it is but Rocky is like a real person to us white guys and Stallone looks like he could still kick my ass even at 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nati Ice Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 he better lose... the movie should all be about personal struggle and he should fight for himself but lose theres simply no way he would/could beat someone like tarver at age 60 and have it make sense or be believable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stallone was on MNF tonight and mentioned that Rocky takes the fight seriously, while Tarver doesn't. For that reason, I could see them having Rocky win. I could also seem them having it end in a split decision or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LeakyBengal Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I want to see it but I doubt I will. The release date sucks. Like you said, the story is interesting and the acting looks great. I hear people say that it looks horrible. I just don't know how they can say that. The trailer is well done and as I said the story and acting looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the Rocky franchise, and I'm sure I'll watch this when an opportunity presents itself, but I don't have a good feeling about this one. And as far as the trailer and the acting, remember that the trailer for "Battlefield Earth" made that shit movie look somewhat iinteresting. And Stallone hasn't done a decent acting job since Rocky II. "Yo Adrian!!! You should have let me quit after I beat Drago in '85." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could easily play a guy in his 40s. He must've had a much better surgeon than Kenny Rogers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coy Bacon Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I suppose the nickname "Rocky" now refers to his favorite pastime, sitting in a rocking chair. The only thing more pathetic than rehashing this tired old fantasy is the fact that people will go to see it. Oh, I can think of something even more pathetic - that statue that they put up by the art museum in Philly. That thing is cheesier than the giant Jesus in front of the Butler County King Pin's church on I-75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think that the Rocky films were all pretty bad plot and acting-wise, but I enjoyed them for their fluff anyway, until Tommy Gunn that is. I will not pay to see it in a theatre, and I'm awfully lukewarm about renting it. There are so many other better options out there than watching Stallone and Pauly eke out another attempt at a memorable performance. Stallone's a really lousy actor anyway.
