Leave your thoughts about Rocky Balboa.
| E! OnlineLuke Y. ThompsonThe movie comfortably puts you through the paces without making you feel guilty for enjoying them. |
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. Smith...Stallone plays Rocky like an old lion who still paces back and forth hoping for one more battle. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansWe forgive a lot because Stallone - in a heartfelt and sometimes bombastic performance - reminds us why we fell in love with Rocky Balboa in the first place. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithCall it a comeback, but this is the best "Rocky" film since the 1976 original. |
| Film ThreatMark BellThe acting in the film is grade-A, with Stallone bringing the more mumbled Rocky from the first film spliced with some rousing inspirational monologues when the moment is right (not forced, not preachy… just perfect). |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkThe word is that this film has been made so that Stallone can end the series on his terms. The studio saw a quick name recognition cash grab. I guess that's all it takes these days. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonIt matters because this boxer taps into something deeper in our collective souls than the desire for entertainment. It's the hope that one day we're going to win big, too, after everyone's given up on us. It's as hokey as it's true. |
| Las Vegas Review-JournalCarol Cling... just another who-needs-it sequel preaching to the choir. It's no knockout, but at least it's better than Rocky V. |
| Sean the Movie GuySean McBridean uplifting, very well made and fitting ending for the cinematic champ. |
| Big Picture Big SoundJoe LozitoFor a series that seemed out of gas decades ago, Rocky Balboa is a knock-out. |
