Brian Tallerico UGO Like its odds-defying hero, Rocky Balboa is the biggest surprise of the holiday season. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Stallone wanted this movie to restore dignity to his greatest character. He succeeds, better then anyone might have expected. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 23, 2007 Full Review David Fear Time Out The ol' lug can't be blamed for wanting one last victory lap, but if you've got nothing to offer except benign nostalgia, just let the gloves stay on the glory-days shelf. Rated: 2/6 Feb 3, 2007 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine It is the best of the Rocky sequels by a country mile. Rated: 9/10 Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault When the creaky old Rocky ran up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art with his newly adopted dog Punchy, reached the top, and punched the air in triumph, I wiped away a tear or two. Because those are not just steps. Rated: B+ Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Stallone manages to reproduce the lovable character with a recognizable charm and personality. Rated: 7/10 Nov 21, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
