I've watched all the Rocky movies, and have enjoyed some more than others. But overall the movies have all satisfied me. Rocky Balboa is a great addition to the franchise...It has a great meaning behind it!

I loved the first Rocky, & once again it's good to see the underdog get his chance to give his best even if others scorn/put down etc. Live your dreams & don't let critics shame you into being too embarassed to even try! A great character who deserved a chance to wrap it up with a little more dignity.
