saw it last night....kinda cheesy, but much better than 3-5.  More dramatic like part 1 was.  3 and 4 were more action movies.
worth the money, but not an oscar contender.

Totally sweet movie, guys....

I mean - it satisfies the hunger for more Rocky in a way that could actualyl only be possible 30 years after the last one. The dialogue was probably the best in this movie out of the whole series, and the story is really good. I enjoyed it a lot and me and my buddies already set up a jogging schedule to live the fantasy =)

I'm a huge rocky fan and I walked out of that movie ready to get into a fight. It was wicked good. kept to all the old roots of the original great story. They dont try to hide the fact that he's old. All round awesome movie.
Wicked good? You gotta be from New England. Mass or R.I.?

Nope California ahaha...but my best friend is from Connecticut. I've hung out with him enough to pick up his words.

It's also a NY thing so don't feel bad. I gotta say it was nice to come to another state where "wicked" is used as an adjective.

I have no problem with wicked, but America's youth has to be disuaded of using mad the same way.

I feel the same way about mint, mental, bad, and sick.  Why can't people say it's GOOD fer cryin' out loud?!?  ;)

I thought so too. And you know what -- it's the first Rocky movie I've ever seen! Long story.  :) Suffice it to say that it gave me a very good impression of the series.

Do people use mint outside of collecting?

Firefly gave us shiny. I've been trying to add it to the vernacular.

I grew up in Colorado, where the term, "Sweet" was actually used a lot, both as adjective and as exclamation. They also use the word a lot in South Park, which makes me wonder: Was Colorado the only one aboard the "Sweet" train in the late '80s? :^)

Hmm... Sweet is definitely in wide use now, but I wonder if South Park is responsible?

One day my buddy and I were on the train down to NYC. We passed a large Domino Sugar building of some sort with a big lit sign. I said "Hey, it's a Domino Sugar factory. Sweet." At first I had no idea why he was laughing. Apparently, I have a tendency to make puns unintentionally.

I saw it and thought it was really good. It was a lot like the first Rocky. Had a lot more good dialogue and story to it. No more talking robots for the son. I think that Stallone did a pretty good job with it. I hope he does the same with the new Rambo. I want it to be more like a sequel to First Blood rather than a sequel to Rambo III.

I loves the stealths and survival. Can't wait till they do Metal Gear Solid. Aragorn as Snake. YES! If only they could have David Hayter dub over Viggo's voice, it would make the dream complete.

I loved the movie. My cousin and I were so excited for the film that we made t-shirts....I know sad...but a lot of people got the reference....besides this is the last Rocky film EVER to be released in theaters...gotta enjoy it while you can.
The movie was exactly what I wanted in a last Rocky film.

Here is a picture of us before seeing the movie.

Aren't they ALL the last Rocky film ever?

I will not be the least bit surprised if the success of Rocky Balboa leads to Rocky Balboa 2.
