Probably the best Rocky since Rocky III.
We find Rocky in this movie to be a widower running a small restaurant in his beloved hometown named after his wife, estranged from his now grown son, and missing the woman he loved.
When a sports show decides to do a virtual boxing match between he and now champion Mason "The Line" Dixon, Rocky is shown by the computer to win, this raises the question...."Could Rocky Win?" So Rocky decides to step back in the ring one last time to kill the beast within himself, to answer once and for all was he really ever the people's champion, and to allow Mason the chance to see if he really is the new champ as well. With an exhibition bout set in Las Vegas the two square off in one hell of a match that will leave you on the edge of your seat! A lot of people have said this movie was going to bomb, but to me it was the best way to end the series and bring about a close in the life of one man who inspired so many. Rocky Balboa is one of the best films of 2006 and would make a great addition to any DVD Collection.
If you haven't seen it then you need to, its well worth the time.
