Is anyone else excited for Rocky?

"It ain't over till it's over."

"Whats that the 80's?"

"More like the 70's"

--Corny as hell

... but when I think about it tons of good movies have corny lines. "Consider that a divorce."



I'm excited.... so ... that I said out loud I'd bring my boxing gloves to the theatres. :-[

Hey jbirdy,

Mike Tyson was about 16 years old and unknown when Rocky 3 came out in 1982. They did not base Clubber Langon Tyson.

Somehow Jody doesn't go with all the rest of the names that you listed :dontknow:

Rocky was a movie for the 70s. I cannot say that got me into boxing. Hagler/Hearns/Leonard and Duran got me into boxing. Just a special time. A boxing movie is great but not real and I did like Million Dollar Baby if it were not for more ridiculous things how they skip from starting off to winning a title. But that movie was ok. . Rocky one was good and Rocky 3 I liked since he became buddies with Apollo Creed. As for real boxing, Those 4 legends of the 80s were real. Rocky came along at a good time and the screenplay for that first movie was great. It is hard to make a movie later after he is famous because the famous part makes the thing unrealistic. We cannot relate to famous since most of us are not famous. Now this movie here he is coming back after 30 years and fighting the champ who I suspect he beats since the movie wouldn't be that great if he lost. Stallone is a great actor no doubt but he is on the decline as happens to anyone, so reclaiming the Rocky role makes sense for him. I mean George Foreman and Thomas Hearns fought into their 40s.

Dude, I'll be the first to predict Rocky loses this one.

you think he loses? maybe you have some information I do not. I just figure that he wins this fight. Why would he be like the Foreman fight and lose? I predict he wins since I do not know anything of the result..

Seriously, I don't know anything about the movie, just that I actually do think he's going to lose.

HOLLYWOOD - Sylvester Stallone regrets signing up to make a sixth Rocky movie, and wishes he had listened to his wife's protests when he was initially offered the role.
Jennifer Flavin burst into tears when the 60-year-old revealed he would be reprising his role as boxing champ Rocky Balboa, because she was worried about the strain a rigorous training routine would have on him.

And Stallone admits she may have been right. He says, "She was absolutely right. I mean, she was just defending her husband from what actually was a totally crazy idea, but now she likes it."

Stallone was convinced to take the role because the last film was such a disappointment. He adds, "I know Rocky V disappointed a lot of people. I felt the same way about it and that was gnawing away at me every time people said to me they liked the first four but...

"When the option of Rocky VI came up I thought the time was right to do another one, just to make sure it was finished properly. That's just what life is like."

---

All he is saying is that the training was hard on his body, remember Stallone is 60 yrs old. Stallone isn't saying that the movie is bad, I'm looking forward to seeing ROCKY BALBOA myself. Stallone looks incredible for a 60 yr old man, most twentysome yr old men would love to his physic.

After a virtual boxing match declares Rocky Balboa the victor over current champion Mason "The Line" Dixon, the legendary fighter's passion and spirit are reignited. But when his desire to fight in small, regional competitions is trumped by promoters calling for a rematch of the cyber-fight, Balboa must weigh the mental and physical risks of a high profile exhibition match against his need to be in the ring.

Gotta agree. It's a must see for me. Yes Stallone was in amazing condition for this movie. I went to the filming of it and saw him. Although I know he's gotten liposuction, he is still amazingly buff for a 60 year old man.

Cuz I will be getting advance tickets. ;)
