ROCKY BALBOA (2006) - Jan 6, 2007
Well, this is pretty much exactly what you'd expect out of the sixth Rocky movie; no more, no less. About Rocky, still mourning the loss of his wife, who strikes up a friendship with a young mother and her son, and who decides that he's got one more fight left in him. Stalone goes perhaps a bit overboard in referencing moments from the previous movies, and at times the film feels more like a series of "Hey! Remember this?" moments than an actual movie, particularly towards the beginning. Though Stalone has clearly had one plastic surgery too many and looks a bit creepy, he does manage to give a surprisingly good performance. And the fight at the end was actually quite good and was probably a highlight. **1/2
