Rocky Balboa (M) 102 min

Rocky Balboa - 11/05 & 13/05

Philadelphia's number one film son returns to the big screen in 'Rocky Balboa'. Rocky is struggling to come to terms with his life after he retires. Adrian's passing has left Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) a widower who lives more in the past than the now which strains the few relationships that he has, namely his son Robert ,Jr. (now played by 'Heroes' Milo Ventimiglia) and his nutty brother-in-law Paulie (Burt Young). But when a computer simulation pits a in-his-prime Rocky vs. the current undefeated champion Mason Dixon (boxer Antonio Tarver) Rocky becomes focused on a return to the ring to let loose the 'beast' one final time.

Check out the review in the Rolling Stone Magazine.

I really wanted to like this film. I loved the original Rocky. Sadly, this one... not so much. My brief review is at http://lacochran.blogspot.com.
