Did I like it? Hell, YES!!
Would I recommend it? Of course!!
If you're big Rocky Fan (if you've seen all 5 Rocky movies or even just Rocky IV -then the answer is yes) , then there's no way that you cannot see this.
If you wanna read about the movie plot line, I suggest you visit http://imdb.com/title/tt0479143/
In Rocky Balboa, you can feel Rocky's pain and anguish at losing Adrian, his wife. Losing his money in Rocky V still hurts him a lot (though this fight and the movie is not about the money), because Rocky feels that he couldn't provide the best things to Adrian after he/they lost all the money, but she stood by him all throughout.
[Rocky Balboa: [visiting his old house as he thinks about Adrian] ... I remember when she was standing there all nervous and shy with that small smile... And all I wanted her to do was trust me... And she did... She did... ]
It's also about his relationship with his son, which sours because of his son's insecurities and problems living under his dad's shadow. This bit could have been handled a little more in depth - just one pep talk to his son solves the problem here, but instead of having more footage given to Marie, played by Geraldine Hughes, I feel that had Sly explored this aspect of his family, it would have been better.
Sly looks old in this movie, but MAN he still works out. Check out his body in the fight (last part of the movie). For someone who is 61 (yup he's 61), he looks really fit. Half his face is paralyzed and this makes him look and sound older.
I'm really waiting for Rambo IV. That's going to be another kick ass movie. I doubt if Sly is gonna do anymore action movies after this, but his legacy will live on, 'cos after all "It ain't over, till it's over"!! (I feel like saying Sameer Mehta, BBC news, Tokyo)
