    I'd imagine it's over. According to Stallone, one of the main reason that he made this movie was because Rocky V was so disappointing, and that he wanted to end on a high note. I'd say it's mission accomplished on that front. He'll have to be given an offer he can't refuse (i.e. a boatload of money) to make another Rocky movie, and I don't see the money being there. It took him years just to get the green-light on this Rocky movie.

    I saw this move tonight and thought that it was really well made considering what a dud the last Rocky movie was. If you're a fan of the series, then you'll definitely enjoy this. I have to admit I got hyped up when the Rocky theme started playing during his training.

    I was wondering -- why do you think the CGI fight premise was ridiculous? They do this on ESPN all the time with football games and basketball games. I thought it was actually a pretty neat idea considering that they actually do that in real life with the team sports.

    The first Rocky of course - which if you didn't know actually won 3 oscars including best picture.

    Yeah but the idea that people would be so into it, like the people at the bar in the movie was a bit off.

    I saw it this weekend and thought it was decent but in the end thought it was more or less a retread of the original film, lots of scenes even the way the fight ended was extremely similar to the first Rocky flick.

    Was a good ending to the franchise but not a great one, they should have stopped with IV, I mean Rocky ended the freaking cold war :p

    "Raging Bull". I'm not anti "Rocky", I really like part three with Mr. T. and I like part four, "I will break him". Those two have the best quotes, "What's your prediction for tonight's fight? Painnnnn"
