Love, love, love this movie. One of my favorite rainy Sunday afternoon treats. I even have the book which was written by Nora Roberts based on the screenplay so it follows the movie very closely. I remember seeing it when I was 27 and I will be 57 this month, so it has been a 30 year "love affair". Stephen Collins is every body's boy next door.
It was on television late, late, late recently and I watched it again and taped it even though I have purchased a DVD copy and was gifted a VHS copy years ago! Ha, ha! Never know when you'll need a backup I guess! Ha, ha! The plot is very simple and the characters are very straight forward. The acting is probably a 7 or 8. I especially enjoyed the music and found it very haunting. The locations were beautiful.

I was 24 when I saw "Rocky" for the first time so I grew up watching and loving "Rocky". The characters, casting, settings, costumes, and let us not forget the MUSIC were perfect. To me the movie was a love story that happened to have a fight at the end. It also appealed to men and women. There are so many themes in the movie - love, redemption, family, forgiveness, humor, conviction, character, etc. The Rocky character was so relateable for a lot of people. Every time I watch it I always see something else. To me "Rocky I" was a perfect movie. "Rocky" was nominated for an Academy Award in an impressive group of movies for best movie in 1976. I watched all the movies nominated, but I watch Rocky repeatedly to this day. I think the Academy got it right that year by giving "Rocky" the award for best movie. I still use the old body language to help Rocky in the first fight, and all the subsequent fights.
As a die hard Rocky fan, of course, I had to see Rocky II, Rocky III, Rocky IV and Rocky V. I found them all to be enjoyable. However, although there was something in every movie I enjoyed, I felt the "heart" of the ongoing story was missing.
When I heard that there was to be another Rocky movie, I was curious to see what had happened to "my old friend" in the last 16 years. (I think a lot of people think of Rocky as a friend because as far as I know this is the first time a character had been presented in "real time" over a span of 30 years.) Since my son works at a theater, I can watch movies for free whenever I want so over the course of last year, I saw a LOT of free movies. I saw "Rocky Balboa" on December 20 and hands down "Rocky Balboa" was the best movie for me in 2006 by far. I loved it so much I even paid to see it several time at another theater. I even made a point to recommend this movie to every body I came in contact with it.
The "heart" of the movie/story was back. This was the Rocky I fell in love with. This is a "rich" movie, great from beginning to end. This is how movies are suppose to be, they are to touch you, make you think and feel. You are suppose to talk about movies like this, analyze them because you have a vested interest as a viewer and you care about these characters.
SPOILERS: I cried at Rocky's heart ache at the loss of his wife. I felt his hurt and confusion over the relationship with his son --as if he (Rocky) had done something wrong when all he had done was love his son unconditionally. I felt his loneliness. I laughed at his bad jokes and puns. I saw his attempts at "flirting" (albeit unconsciously) with Little Marie using some of the techniques he used with Adrian. I appreciated the fact that Little Marie was a lot like Adrian - shy, quiet, always in Rocky's corner. She became his touchstone when he was contemplating fighting again because her opinion (like Adrian's) matter to him. I also liked the fact that since Marie had life experience, she was mature enough not to be intimidated by Rocky's love for Adrian and that she appreciated his feelings for her (Adrian). I think since Rocky had a big heart, he could, in time, probably find room in it for someone else. Besides who isn't a sucker for a man who loves animals. Let us not forget his relationship with Paulie which has always been odd to me.
I like the fact that not only were some of the characters back (Spider Rico, Duke, Little Marie, etc.) but some of the references from the other movies were worked in. Some of the dialog was a twist of dialog from the other movies -- which is something you do in real life, you reference events, conversations, stories, people, etc. Very real, true to life.
This was a great final chapter for Rocky and I will miss him. You just know that for the rest of his life Rocky is going to be okay because he has the love of his family and friends and was, is and always will be a fighter and, more importantly, a TRUE WINNER. Again, for me, this was a love story with a fight at the end.
