I seen Rocky Balboa last night at the pics and have to say I quite enjoyed it, although I don't think it lived up to some of the hype I had heard about it. But yes it is a better film than Rocky V, which to be honest wouldn't be too hard (since it was pretty rank next to the others). Sly Stallone got himself into pretty good condition for the Rocky swansong (this has to be be last one, because credibility has been stretched beyond bursting point as it is) and he carried it off nicely.

The only thing that kind of let the film down a bit was Rocky's obligatory mourning for his wife Adrian, who is now dead and he wanders around Philly thinking about her, moping round his restaurant telling anecdotes of his days as a boxer. But after that things start to get moving when he sees the computer generated bout of himself and the current heavyweight champion Mason the line Dixon (who is played by a real life light heavyweight champion, and at last an opponent that dares weigh less than Rocky, well in the film he doesn't lol! But who are they kidding!). Then he decides to get back in the ring for a final exhibition bout with the current champ.

And I'm glad to say the end of the movie isn't too incredible or ridiculous, I won't give it away but suffice to say Rocky leaves the ring with his dignity still in tact. As a final Rocky film it ends on a nice feel of everything coming full circle and Rock leaves as a man who has done his work. Next up don't know I will see next.
