Sinopsis(1)
Hace 30 años él era un hombre sin futuro, que trabajaba para un pilluelo de poca monta en el sur de Filadelfia. Cuando un golpe de suerte le brindó la oportunidad de enfrentarse en el cuadrilátero contra el campeón, en ese entonces, Apollo Creed, tuvo la oportunidad de uno en un millón, que se presenta sólo una vez en la vida. Su coraje y perseverancia, tanto en la vida como en el cuadrilátero, brindó esperanza a millones de personas. Ahora, la gloria ya ha llegado y se ha ido y Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), el que una vez fuera el Semental Italiano, se pasa las tardes contando viejas historias a los clientes de su restaurante Adrian´s, que lleva el nombre de su ya fallecida esposa, por quien guarda un silencioso luto. Su hijo (Milo Ventimiglia) no desea pasar tiempo con él; se encuentra demasiado ocupado tratando de vivir su propia vida. El tiempo y los golpes han hecho más humilde a Rocky, le han deformado sus puños, encorvado la espalda y sacado todo lo que tenía exceptuando sus viejas historias, pero en su corazón sigue siendo el mismo hombre. En su corazón, él todavía es un luchador. (20th Century Fox España)

Reseñas (10)
Una película senilmente sencilla pero agradablemente honesta y humilde sobre un boxeador canoso que todavía tiene algo que decir, y no sólo con sus duros puños. El preludio de la película se alarga un poco, y el clímax, en cambio, es precipitado, pero *nostalgia* tiene su innegable peso de simpatía, que suaviza mucho. Sly Stallone consiguió hacer lo mismo que su protagonista: no hizo un gran regreso, pero se defendió con dignidad.

The disheveled and smiley Sly wanders around Philadelphia, giving advice to everyone around him while being unsure of himself. I would take that as a light prologue to the sympathetically boxing finish with enthusiasm, but when he talks, advises, and sadly looks for two-thirds of the movie, it becomes boring. It's not unwatchable, but still a bit unnecessary because as soon as Rocky returns to training, runs up the stairs and enters the arena, adrenaline, tension, and cheering are also there. The fight against Dixon is incredibly well shot, but it really bothers me that the champion's actor is skinny and lacks the typical muscularity of a boxer, so I can't maintain a serious face when talking about "heavyweight". On the other hand, I can forgive many things without words because I really wanted Stallone to succeed and thanked him for not letting the series end in miserable waters in his old age.

The idea of the whole movie is a little far fetched, but it has its interesting points. You can’t help feeling a certain trepidation. However, from the very beginning it’s clear that their trepidation is unfounded. All the sentimental roaming around Philadelphia, his long contemplation, looking back on life, telling time-proven truths all seem sincere. It is a very personal picture that Sly put his “heart" into and that makes it all the more endearing. In fact, this is evident to the point that almost nobody will see anybody else than him himself in the role of Rocky. What significantly damages the movie is the boxing match itself. For one thing, it seems somehow superfluous here, it’s shot strangely, lacks energy and is overall uninteresting. Which, in view of the fact that it takes up the whole last third of the playing time, is displeasing. But the worst thing are the final credits. They are indescribable hell. Even so, meeting up with Rocky Balboa at the beginning of the autumn of his life isn’t boring, it’s old-fogey agreeable and surprisingly not at all ridiculous. If I were Stallone I would leave my boxing gloves hanging on their hook from now on. After all those years of service they have earned a good rest.

I liked the slightly grim humor and the nice old-fashioned mentoring tone that carries the film most of the time. I hope the Italian Stallion does not get mad at me, but the last match sucks. It lacked clear motivation, enthusiasm, a strong opponent and some reasonable resolution - it hangs at the end of the film just for show. Until then, Rocky's last adventure has all the attributes that made the first film famous (although they are somewhat shabby now)... it focuses more on simpler but catchy psychology and on Stallone's still functional two-sided acting. I enjoyed it, but I consider a boxing film which does not wow me with the final fight to be slightly weak.

The last (I hope) Rocky doesn't surprise with anything, the story is again simple and straightforward, with a pinch of combat adrenaline, and life wisdoms that sound out of Harlequin books, some of which caressed the soul. Rocky's final farewell to the audience in the boxing ring (and symbolically, Sly's farewell to this character, which suddenly catapulted him to the cinematic Olympus) left me surprisingly cold, but there’s no denying that it is a worthy farewell. Mainly because there is no lack of insight, Stallone faces the advancing years head on and occasionally throws down some nice and funny lines. In short, Sly made me happy. The film is worth 3 stars, the fourth one is thrown in for nostalgia’s sake, which Sly enlivened with several functional short flashbacks. And why not admit it, I have a soft spot for this hard-working "Italian Stallion".
