When he loses a highly publicized virtual boxing match to ex-champ Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), reigning heavyweight titleholder Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver) retaliates by challenging the Italian Stallion to a nationally televised, 10-round exhibition bout. To the surprise of his son (Milo Ventimiglia, TV's Heroes) and friends, Rocky agrees to come out of retirement and face an opponent who's faster, stronger and thirty years his junior. With the odds stacked firmly against him, Rocky takes on Dixon in what will become the greatest fight in boxing history, a hard-hitting, action-packed battle of the ages!
 
"The acting in the film is grade-A...some rousing inspirational monologues..."  Mark Bell, Film Threat
"...a low-key, technically stripped-down production that really does come close to capturing the heart and soul of the original."  Michael Rechtshaffen, The Hollywood Reporter
"...an irresistible statement that "Yo, life ain't over till it's over.""  William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Rocky Balboa - DVD
By: Sean O'Connell - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews
Published on: 3/9/2007 6:32 PM
When last we saw Rocky Balboa, our prized overachieving contender (played to monosyllabic perfection by Sylvester Stallone) had prevailed in a street fight against his protg, Tommy "Machine" Gunn (Tommy Morrison). The Italian Stallion may have triumphed that day, but the feel-good franchise long since had thrown in the towel. Rocky V did more damage to the character's legacy than Ivan Drago, Clubber Lang, and Apollo Creed combined. It issued a crushing TKO to a collection of films that celebrated victory in the face of impossible odds, and it left a horrible taste in fans' mouths. By all accounts, the final bell had rung on Rocky....read the full review

Like delicious deer meat kept safely in the freezer, a good film franchise will still tend to go rancid after about four years. By the third summer release, you'll begin to hate all the characters, the replacement director who has a "new vision," the plotline that inevitably kills off a major character from the first two movies. Even the original film, which once seemed so original and ingenious, is cast under suspicion because of its relation to this end-of-the-trilogy crap festival. ...read the full review

Rocky Balboa is a movie that needed to be made. Contrary to early naysayers, this franchise needed more closure than it got back in 1990 when audiences last visited with a cinematic icon. Sylvester Stallone directs, acts, and writes this final sequel and the result is a moving, nostalgic, and engrossing effort worthy of the Rocky name....read the full review
