Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The sixth installment of the Rocky series picks up the story of the Italian Stallion 16 years after the morose Rocky V. And sure, at his advanced age, Sylvester Stallone now looks like one of those sides of beef his character used to pound on. No matter. Somehow you buy the premise after all these years, even if it takes forever for Rocky Balboa to stop wallowing in self-pity (Adrian is dead, his old haunts are demolished) and get down to the business of drinking raw eggs and running up staircases. The business at hand is an unlikely exhibition fight with champeen Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver), which the near-sexagenarian Mr. Balboa has no business accepting. Of course, just as sure as the horns of Bill Conti's theme music are even now trumpeting through your head, the ol' Rock might have a punch or two left in him. Stallone wrote and directed, and there isn't much to say except that the movie steps in its pre-determined paces with a canny sense of what has come before (it's practically an homage to all the previous Rocky pictures, complete with fleeting flashbacks). Burt Young is around again, and Geraldine Hughes makes an appealing, rather chaste female companion for Rocky. Stallone's Rocky has gotten suspiciously articulate over the years, but he still knows how to slouch. If Stallone never forgets that, he can probably keep the franchise rolling. --Robert Horton Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Can we put him down to ease our suffering?A beautiful and sensitive portrayal of an actor left retarded by a career spent doing his own stunts and fight scenes. There won't be a dry eye left in the house. Rating: - SuprisedAfter Rocky V thought there was no way I would buy this, however after some decent reviews and the cheap price, I bit the bullet. What a suprise..... this was actually a pretty good movie, and 100% better than Rocky V. All I will say is watch the alternate ending and thank your lucky stars they didn't chose that, typical american style, version! Rating:  - What a way to end the series!When word got out that Sylvester Stallone was going to make another Rocky film, just about everyone I knew dismissed it as ridiculous. Rocky V had been panned by the critics and the franchise had been dead and buried for 15 years - but no-one really counted on the love Stallone holds for his creation and his desire to give one of the most successful film icons ever the farewell he deserves. This film is shot well, the acting performances are sound, there is a sympathy for all the characters and even the 'bad guy' is displayed in a human light. I had fingers crossed when the credits rolled in the cinema and by halfway through I was sitting there with a huge grin on my face not believing I was watching a new Rocky film all these years ... Read More: Rating: - It aint over till its overThe first Rocky film was an astounding and unexpected success back in the Seventies because it was a simple, inspiring tale that the American everyman could relate too. Now that everyman is growing old, and the final installment in the saga returns to its roots with another simple, inspirational tale of life's journey 'not being over till its over'. The film does take a little while to get going. Tha's not to say it isn't entirely worthy - the themes of growing old, the clinging to past memories and the lack of respect from the young will strike a chord with an entire generation and are played out rather nicely by the cast. But it all comes together in the final half when Rocky breaks out the skipping rope and those raw eggs and starts ... Read More: Rating: - A Fitting End To A CLASSIC Series...A belting sequel and a MAJOR improvement on the dire Rocky 5! I will focus on the Boxing here, there is only one fight at the films climax (not counting the title credits or the brief montages that the series is known for) but its excellent. Sylvester Stallone is in great shape, Im 20 years younger & i wish id looked like this at 25! Antonio Tarver(a real life Pro Fighter!) as Mason Dixon is one of Rocky's more credible opponents, more in line with Apollo Creed in style than the more over the top Ivan Drago or the uber brutal Clubber Lang. Theres an arrogance to his character but he comes across as more sympathetic than Rocky's previous opposition. The fight is very well shot as if a real bout with camera angles that look like a ...
