I'm looking forward to seeing this film. It would be amazing if Stallone won an Oscar after decades of milking the Rocky Balboa character.

If there aren’t any black slave, Holocaust, or GiBLeT movies, then he has a chance.

Stallone is a hypocrite - I certainly won’t see this film and its over-used story line in another Rocky flick.

Rotten Tomatoes rates it very highly, but I wasn’t impressed with the trailer:

(Peter Finch won for “Network.”)

And I’m mad as hell about it.

Even the best rendition of “Rocky Balboa” doesn’t kill the bad taste of “Judge Dredd”

Is there a “Special Ed” category in the Oscars?

I give it a 6.5/10. Stallone was very good as Rocky, but I wasn’t impressed with the actor who played Creed. The film was more on the level of “Rocky Balboa” than “Rocky”.

I watched “Rocky” at a Drive In (way too many years ago) there were so many fist fights going on, it was difficult to leave when the Movie was over and once you made it out you were pulled over and either got a DWI or an Open Container (trust me it was a totally Red Neck Theater, complete with Cows Grazing and I sure do miss that place) EVERYONE was either Ticketed or Arrested (everyone was in violation) and the Next Weekend they had MORE people show up! It was an Event! And everyone would be in violation again, it wasn’t a big thing, it was just being Young.
Perspective ... you had to be Drunk to get a DWI and and Open Container Fine was the Cop would dump all of your full ones and it was either dismissed or a $20 Fine (Habitual Offenders and the Underage had a steeper hill to climb)
I would trade a bunch of tomorrows for a few of those yesterdays... Life was Good.
I miss my Country as much as I miss my Youth, Freedom and just the Good Times.
