Or maybe the other way around, Quillin is lucky to have any kind of big role in or out of the ring right now. Hadn't even heard about that film, directed by Scorcese and it's about Vinnie Paz... Might be good.

I watched it at the weekend. Same as Mark I was a little bit put off by a few bits and pieces that may or may not have been important.


I don't see how Rocky and Apollos wife would have simply stopped talking. A more plausible angle would have been if She blamed him and initiated the silence.


I know it's purely aesthetic but I didn't like what Mick's gym had become. From Mark's Rocky trail thread I think it's a dollar store or mini mart type thing these days? I wonder if the interior stuff was actually filmed some place else? The camera locations and décor meant it was unrecognisable to me as Mick's gym.


Creed putting his gumshield in before walking to the ring in Mexicao? No, shouldn't happen.


I thought the son and Rocky were on good terms after Rocky Balboa. Then he fucks off and leaves Rocky to it?


Rocky lied when he said Apollo won fight 3.


Bellew was annoying. His squeaky voice irritated me.


It's been a theme through the Rocky films. People, places, occurrences are all forgotten in the following film. Rocky was a defensive genius by the end of Rocky 3, couldn't slip a punch to save his life in 4.


Niggles aside I enjoyed watching it and Stallone was charming. Some of the references I didn't get. It was as always enjoyable to spend a couple of hours in the company of Rocky.


Some of the ideas for the follow up are way out there.

Agreed with all that - still well above average film

here's my Rocky Tour thread for those that might have missed it

I watched it last night

I dunno what it is but I just didn't see it as in the same league as the first 4, like rocky 1 and 2 you really get into the characters and story and you really want rocky to win, but I just didn't get into it like that

its like the new star wars, the plot just moved in a way that I just didn't get into the characters or people and I didn't care enough if they blew up the death star
