Rocky Balboa


Rocky Balboa: When I was at the visitor center in Philadelphia about 4 years ago, I had two questions: Where are the “Rocky Steps?” and from there, how do I get over to see the liberty bell? The character of Rocky Balboa has put his stamp on our pop culture more so than almost any other movie character in the history of cinema. It is for that reason that it is fitting to give him one last installment to say goodbye. Rocky Balboa does an excellent job of paying tribute to the past movies, to the character, and to what he always stood for. By now I hope you all know the formula. Rocky again is going to step back into the ring to fight the current world champ; he does this to prove to himself and his fans that he still has something left “in his basement”. If you are a Rocky fan this is a “MUST SEE” / if you are not a big fan, this film is still worth a spin as it magically brings back the excitement that made Rocky so famous from the start.
