IMDB Summary
Thirty years after the ring of the first bell, Rocky Balboa comes out of retirement and dons his gloves for his final fight; against the reigning heavyweight champ Mason 'The Line' Dixon.

MY REVIEW:

When I first saw the trailer for this movie back in 2006, I thought to myself, this is just another Rocky movie to make a Rocky movie. And while that still maybe true, it beat my expectations. This was more like whatever happen to Rocky.  In Rocky V, Rocky lost his big home all of his cars and had to move back to the streets of his home town. But it was good to see him as a business owner.
Rocky Balboa was a character that you developed a relationship with and wanted to know he was OK. And while he did get back in the ring it was more to prove a point instead of winning a fight. A all out victory was not important in this movie but you wanted Rocky to survive. While times have changed around Rocky, he is still the same person in every movie.Nothing has changed about him.

I gave this a high Family movie rating but some younger kids might fall asleep during the slower parts and dialogue.
