About this product

Product Information

ROCKY BALBOA, the sixth installment of the long-running film franchise, should amount to nothing more than a lame punch line to a TONIGHT SHOW monologue joke. However, just as his longtime corner man Paulie describes the Italian Stallion himself, this movie is all heart. Thirty years after Sylvester Stallone first introduced the underdog backroom brawler from Philadelphia in the Oscar-winning ROCKY, Rocky Balboa returns for one last dance. Speculation as to whether Balboa, in his prime, would have been able to defeat lackluster champ Mason "The Line" Dixon spurs Dixon's management to set up an exhibition fight between the two. That Balboa is in his 50s in the film and wouldn't be sanctioned to fight anyone, let alone a man 30 years his junior and in the prime of life, must be left up to the viewer's ability to suspend disbelief. To its credit, however, the movie addresses at every turn the insanity of a man approaching 60 getting back into a boxing ring, and Balboa's impassioned explanation of his motivations is just believable enough to give all other improbabilities a free pass.Though it may sound like faint praise, this is the best ROCKY movie since the original. It's very much a love letter to Philadelphia, and Stallone, who wrote and directed the movie, shoots everything with an unflinching eye that humanizes the mean streets of the City of Brotherly Love and evokes the gritty dignity of the original film. And while Burt Young's cantankerous Paulie and Tony Burton's Duke both return, Talia Shire, sadly, does not reprise her role as the beloved Adrian. It's revealed early in the film that Adrian has died of cancer, and it's the pain of that tragedy that ultimately fuels Rocky. Boxing as a metaphor for life is certainly nothing new, but Stallone makes a legitimate contribution to the tradition with ROCKY BALBOA. Life hits harder than any man can, and one's ability to keep getting up until the final bell rings is the true measure of self. Corny? Perhaps. But when Bill Conti's legendary score kicks in and Rocky starts pounding the heavy bag, the metaphor feels truly profound.

    DVD’s appearance & condition was as described new, sealed condition. It was carefully packaged in a box with protective “air bags” & promptly shipped. This was a great quality transaction with excellent communication, providing a high value. 5-stars!

    Whether ordered new or used, I can always count on receiving my orders from this EXCELLENT SELLER in the best possible condition: new in pristine condition & VG used better than listed. Packaging & handling are performed using the best materials with plenty of padding in a cardboard box to ensure arrival without the normal case damage from less careful sellers who often skimp on packaging. Orders are competitively priced, processed & shipped very quickly, with short delivery times.

    Thank you for the feedback! I have recently transitioned over to shipping 95% of my items in a box and I use air pillows and bubble wrap for all my CD's. I have seen to many complaints over CD's shipped in thin packing to save money and more often than not they come damaged. I on purpose downgrade my CD's that way if its better people are very happy if I upgrade not so much. Your feedback is the reason why I am in this business, it's all about customer service to me. You made my week!

    Age may rob the body, but the heart of a winner is never defeated by time.

    I enjoyed this retreat to the original Rock character. A retired boxer who seems satisfied running a restaurant & bar and recounts stories of his past glory during his career of as a boxer. His son resents the fact that he lives in the shadow of his father's reputation in a neighborhood where he is a has been. Like the movie grudge match a computer boxing game stirs interest in his former prowess as a boxer & when the current heavyweight champion becomes frustrated that a computer simulation makes him a loser to the former champion. In a "exhibition match" Rockey recaptures his self respect and shows the world that age may slow down the body, but the spirit of a winner isn't demished by time.
