So, YouTube has a million fakes, but where is the real deal? I can't believe I actually want to see this. Guess my husband has convinced me that Stallone muight have one more in the tank.
I'd rank Rocky as my second favorite film franchise behind Star Wars. That being said the reviews of Rocky V (as confirmed by my brother, an even bigger fan than I am) were so bad that all I've seen of it are whatever scenes that I happened upon when it was on television.
The only time that I've ever considered taking the day off to see a film on the big screen the day that it was released was with Revenge of the Sith. I didn't do it, but it's the thought that counts, right?
That Rocky Balboa trailer has me thinking about it again..........
Trailer has just been released. It looks like a lot more fun than Rocky V, but then again, how could it not? (Kudos to that final line, as well as Rocky's little nod in answer to Paulie's "I have that problem". )
But while I love the first four films as much as anyone, I'm still not sure I want to see Sly continue the series. Ironically, Rocky made me such a boxing fan that I now find it hard to take this idea seriously.
Looks gooood! I grew up on this series and was disappointed how Rocky V 'ended' the series so I'm definitely happy to see an ending that looks to be great! I mean, Stallone's putting himself on the line here... he knows this could be a small comeback. No reason why he won't put his all into it.
The first one is near and dear to me, so I have watched all the sequels hoping for a glimmer of the original to resurface. This one looks like it may do it.
