Review of Rocky Balboa

Rocky Balboa (2006)
7/10
A Worthy Entry into the "Rocky Legacy"
25 February 2016
"Mason Dixon" (Antonio Tarver) is the current heavyweight champion of the world yet because he has been so dominant there aren't any contenders worthy enough to fight against him. "Rocky Balboa" (Sylvester Stallone) on the other hand has been retired for a long time but still believes he has one good fight left in him. So when the managers of Mason Dixon come to Rocky to propose an exhibition bout Rocky reluctantly accepts although even he believes that the fight would be one-sided. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that even though the fight between the two boxers is quite entertaining, it's the events leading up to it that captures the character of Rocky and makes him so endearing to his fans. He is a good man with a big heart. At any rate, those who have enjoyed the "Rocky series" will certainly want to watch this one as it is almost on a par with the best. Accordingly, I rate this movie as above average.
