I wouldnt lump 4 in with 5. While 4 wasnt the greatest 5 is in the barrel with some of the worst movies of all time.
That being said this is a LARGE improvement. The person who said its worse didnt see it or is in love with tommy gunn. Either way they cant be serious. THe movie does start a bit slow and I guess that could turn some people off but no one should expect non stop action after all boxing matches arnt very long.
Im lumping 4 and 5 together due to reviews(posts) here on KMC seems like not many liked 4 & 5........3 was my fav.....well i dunno 1 and 2 good also..... 4 I thought okay, my youngin liked 4 best....and has whole collection and watched at least 20 times each.....we havent went to see it yet as wife and I worked (her day me night) so we are WAITING for day off together.....but want to hear all! WE LOVE SPOILERS BUT....I guess list spoilers with spoiler tags so the mod doesnt spank us...lol...
I saw the movie last night and it was great. I loved it. Here are some spoilers.
Spoiler:
For the most part, the movie is about Rocky dealing with the grief of losing everyone close to him in his life. He visits Adrian's grave every week and keeps a chair there. He also goes and visits all the places that he and Adrian would go to, like the ice rank, which has since been demolished, the pet store where she worked, and Rocky's old apartment. Rocky decides he wants to fight, cause he got a beast inside him, a lot of guilt and grief that he needs to get out. Then we have Mason Dixon, who is the Champ, but people hate him cause he beats cream puffs for opponents. ESPN has the simulated fight between the two, which gets both men interested in fighting. What started out as a little exhibition, blows up into a circus. We get to the fight, which goes the distance, Rocky gets the beast out of himself, Mason gets his respect. In the end, Rocky loses by spilt decision, but it was not about winning or losing, it was going out there and going out on his own terms. At the end of the movie, Rocky visits Adrian, and says "Yo Adrian, we did it".
I loved the movie, and the way it is shot, and this is the sequel to Rocky. It ends the saga beautifully.

I thought your spoiler was beautiful. I probably won't go see it, but I'll read the spoiler again sometime, very nice!
Orginally, Stallone had Adrian in the script for Rocky Balboa, but everytime he worte a new draft, it did not seem right that she was in the movie, because it would be the same thing o Adrian telling Rocky not to fight, and we have seen that before. So to get to Rocky and make him a broken man, he decided to have her died in the movie.
Well I finally saw this movie and even though I liked it,I wouldnt go as far as Backfire and Tomacco have and say that its as good as the first one or the second best ever.Not anywhere near as good as the first 3 films,but definetly better than those last two crapfest Rocky movies Rocky 4 and Rocky 5 thank god.

Excellent critique.
I thought it was gonna suck, but the old man really pulled it off. I actually found my self yelling at, and really getting into the fight.
And I think the fact that Rocky lost was a smart move on Sly's part, otherwise the movie would've been too predicatable and cheesy.
