I saw it last night with my mom.  I was pleasantly surprised.  The interesting thing I noticed is how much the Rocky movies mirror Sylvester Stallone's own life.  Stallone is the american underdog story.  He went from having to stare in a porno movie to pay the bills to being a movie superstar.  Now he's old and people consider him a has been.  Just like Rocky Balboa wanting to prove he could still fight, he wants to prove he can still make a good movie.  Frankly, he suceeded.

No, it isn't. So.. Why are you posting like it is?

I will try to get things back on track. I saw Rocky Balboa and "liked it very much." (POS reference dawgs) It was definitely the best Rocky since Rocky 2. Just a quick question though. Why does everyone hate Rocky 5 so much? It's been many years since I've seen it so I can't remember what all of the "supposed" bad parts are.
Aaahh! This movie just throws you violently into the next scene!

I just had to throw this out there:



Saw this at a Toys R Us the other day. This could either be the most rediculous action figure ever, or the most collectable. :^)

Surely you can't be serious!
"I'm always serious, and don't ever call me Shirley"

Seriously, they really sell that at Toys R Us?

Pak-Man

Yup. Costs just as much as Rocky himself. :^)

I'm not even sure what that is?  ???

It's an action figure of the side of beef Rocky beat on.
