Good continuation of the franchise before transitioning to the Creed movies, good Bridge movie from the Rocky movies to the Creed movies.

The subdued & depressive tone is fitting & refreshing. The plot is exactly what this franchise needs to move forward. Some parts are a little overdone but the spirit sustains the shortcomings of the writing. Sad but redemptive.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Just watched this on Crave TV for the first time in a long time. After all those Razzie nominations, Stallone really redeemed himself with this chapter of Rocky. So well written and acted. No glitz and high budget glamour, just a great strong and emotional story that feels just like the very first modest Rocky film that started it all. So good…

Like its odds-defying hero, Rocky Balboa is the biggest surprise of the holiday season.

Stallone wanted this movie to restore dignity to his greatest character. He succeeds, better then anyone might have expected.

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+
