Rocky Balboa
Sylvester Stallone takes us on a familiar trip down memory lane with his latest box office curiosity. Who would have believed that there would be a Rocky VI? The story starts off slowly by revisiting those memorable Philadelphia sites and reintroducing key characters like Paulie, Spider Rico, little Marie, Rocky Jr., and even Cuff and Link. Once again, actor/writer/director Stallone proves he knows how to tell the touching underdog story. It is about 30 years later for the “Italian Stallion” who is searching for things he has lost in his life. Rocky is still that lovable lug that you want to root for. Is the story believable? Not really, but you can’t help from wanting to chant “Rocky, Rocky…” during the big fight scene. Does he win in the end? You’ll have to pay the price of admission to find out. Rocky I, II, and VI would have made a good trilogy.
Alien gives it 2 ½ “Yo, Adrian” stars out of 4.
