There is much to poke at in Rocky Balboa, yet the movie, with its amusingly updated ''Gonna Fly Now'' montage and its very niftily staged climactic bout, summons just enough incredulous wit about just how often Rocky has been around this particular block to let Sylvester Stallone earn his nostalgia.Full Review
Rocky Balboa is not as good as "Rocky," but it allows us to forget the other four sequels, none of which was memorable.Full Review
It matters because this boxer taps into something deeper in our collective souls than the desire for entertainment. It's the hope that one day we're going to win big, too, after everyone's given up on us. It's as hokey as it's true.Full Review
Surprisingly Rocky Balboa, is no embarrassment. Like its forerunners it goes the distance almost in spite of itself. It's all heart and no credibility except as a raw-boned fable.Full Review
Defies all expectations with a low-key, technically stripped-down production that really does come close to capturing the heart and soul of the original.Full Review
