What did you really expect from Rocky Balboa? Hopefully not too much, just like I did. I'm not a huge Rocky fan, but if you are this movie will be fun for you. It shows many past memories of each Rocky movie throughout the story. For not being a big fan, it was still a fun movie to watch.
The story goes that Rocky loses his wife Adrian and is going through hard times. So, he finally decides that in life you always move forward, and it's hard to hold on to everything you love. He then decides to start fighting again. The current undefeated heavyweight champion, Dixon, chooses to have a final fight with Rocky for publicity means.
The movie plot is actually very good for Stallone's standards; I thought it was going to be short and stupid with a lot of fight scenes. I'm glad he used his knowledge to make a creative movie. Overall I gave the movie 5 out of 10 stars. The reason is it's like a sequel that was not needed to be done, and because Stallone did not have to do much with the movie. Since there were so many Rocky films, he used the previous stuff in the current film. Nothing is really new.
If this was not a Rocky film, and the plot was "a retired boxer wants to get back in the ring one last time to re-live the sport he once loved", then I would watch it and probably rate it a lot higher than a 5 out of 10. But be honest, this isn't considered a great movie.
