Blood Diamond or Rocky...

Im actually hearing Rocky is pretty damn good.

Blood Diamond will probably get an award.

I love the Rocky movies. But how appealing is seeing 60 year old Stallone fighting? Hmm..

I think I will see Rocky Balboa this weekend. He gives people like ShoogarBear, Jimcs50, and myself hope.

Look at how bad ass Rocky is. SA210 and I haven't agreed on a single thing on this website, yet we both agree, Rocky is fucking cool.

Plus, in this one, Adrianne is dead, so we don't have to hear her complaining about Rocky fighting again like we did in Rocky 3, 4, and 5.

Well, actually the movie is more about his life after losing Adrian.
It's really good.

Nope, went to the Spurs game last night, won't get a chance tonight, but I'll definately see it tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to cut out of work early just to go. I'll be the weird guy that is at the movies by himself.

Where do you rank it on the Rocky Spectrum?

Mine goes

Rocky IV
Rocky I
Rocky III
Rocky II
Rocky V

Rocky V only gets ranked by default and doesn't belong with the others.... But I thought it was horrible.

Rocky I and Rocky II I love probably the same.
Then...

Rocky Balboa

Rocky III
Rocky V

Keep in mind that I hate to rank em. I love every single one of them no matter what order.

But it's definitely among the Top 3.

There is only 5 mins of actuall boxing in the film, it is mostly about growing old and comign to terms with that.

I hear it is awesome.

It was very good. I liked it almost as much as any other Rocky movie. They did a really good job with it.

Reviews have been pretty decent, some people were just surprised that it didn't suck as bad as they expected, and some people liked the story itself, even though he's sixty, as mentioned, the movie isn't really about boxing alone, and the actual boxing doesn't take up a lot of time in the movie...

It's a good story.

I actually loved the boxing parts too (which I didn't think I would because of his age). It takes up more than 5 minutes though (which is what ObiWan said).

Well I don't think we timed it but it wasn't the main part of the movie, I really enjoyed how they used actual commentators, and how it was on HBO, etc...

Did you enjoy your D_ _K _ _ A P_P_O_N B_X?

I'm glad you liked it Kori.

I grew up watching and idolizing the Rocky character. It was a great way to end the franchise and a great way to say goodbye and thank all his fans. :cry

Happy Anniversary!

Damn TimVP is too fucking lazy, I mean it's so easy to do:

Step One: Cut a hole in a box
Step Two: Put your junk in that box
Step Three: Open the box....

I always loved the Rocky movie music, nothing better to get you pumped up....

Don't get popcorn with it :vomit: Seriously, at least three people who had gagged aloud within the first 10 minutes of the movie.

Still, it's a very solid flick. I can't say it's good or bad, but I definately enjoyed it.

RockyIII
RockyIV (responsible for bringing down communinism, no less!)

Rocky II

Rocky V

I intend on seeing Rocky Balboa within the next two weeks. Hopefully I get the time sooner rather than later...

How can Rocky IV not be everyone's favorite? Fuck, the Russians still owe us reperations for killing Apollo Creed.

JMarkJohns

12-22-2006, 02:36 PM

Are we going by quality or mere entertainment factor? I laughed more during Rocky IV than any other, but overall, the original was the best of the lot. Great, great film all around.

I thought it was pretty good, although some of the hairstyles seemed more early 60s than they were early 70s. :tu :tu

I haven't decided whether I want to spend $$ on that yet. If I keep hearing good reviews, I might go.

The problem is that it strikes me as one of those movies that, based on the previews, you already can predict every cliched plot detail and heavy-handed emotional manipulation. And Matthew McConahahahgy seems waay too insufferably earnest.

I thought it was pretty good, although some of the hairstyles seemed more early 60s than they were early 70s. :tu :tuIn West Virginia, the early 70s were everybody else's early 60s.
