Rocky was great, Rocky II was good; the rest I didn't care for.

I'm looking forward to Rocky Balboa, but the idea of an aging Rocky fighting a young guy - well seems dumb. We'll see...

I loved the Rocky Series I thought 1-4 were great movies. Especially the first 2. I think the storyline for the new movie is something that should have been straight-to-video. It's like someone made a joke at the production meeting, and they wrote it down.
I couldn't believe it when I read that Stallone is 60! He should have quit after the 4th one. I also read that he wants to revive the Rambo series also!

Rambo tries to break out of the retirement home?

Oh man dont beat on the Italian Stalion like that. You know you loved those movies when they came out. This last Rocky is suposed to represent the old timers still boxing today. I think the oldest guy is like 58 and still boxing but it is based upon him being old so dont take it as a stupid movie because hes old. I already got my tickets in advance and the movie is already getting great reviews so will see.

Yupp that’s exactly how it was, and he kept hitting the garbage cans every time he parked.

i saw Rocky on wed, i thought the forst half was GREAT very interesting, the second half i felt was kinda rushed, they didnt go to indepth with his training like in the past movies, i thought the fight scene could have been a little better, but all in all it is a good movie

That was Rocky IV (where he fights Ivan Drago after he kills Apollo) but it wasn't Apollo's car he was driving, it was his own.
He had two Lamborghinis in that movie, a Countach which they show him washing but never driving and a Jalpa which is the one he shifts a lot during that flashback/'memories of the first three movies' sequence LOL.
