Watched it yesterday and thought it was excellent, the training montage was very good and included a few exercises i do myself.

A definite must see

Sounds like a good idea to burn off those mice pies.

Have a great xmaz!

Looking forward to seeing it, the trailer was rather good.

Yeah i also watched it last night and must say the storyline has evolved quite nicely both fight wise and in terms of personal life and it's cool to see the stage everyone is at. Rocky ends up working as a small-time restaurant owner who's hard up for cash and makes fights a few bums to make ends meet, ends up getting a crack at the current heavyweight champion who is played by Antonio Tarver which makes it even more convincing and gives it a good feel. Also the fight scenes must have been done at a live event in Vegas as they are f'n spot on - it's just like watching an HBO broadcast. Jim Lampley + Teddy Atlas commentating (also Larry Merchant but you can't have everything i guess). Plus Michael Buffer doing the ring introductions and Joe Coertez as the referee!! Quality stuff

Was good saw it a few weeks back - All legal of course , loved the bit where he was buying a dog, and the training bits were really neat. I would compare it to his other rocky films, but i was still wearing pampers so i cannot really remember, i will have to rent them out sometime.
Im looking forward to the new rambo coming out soon though

well from the comments im hearing i may have to go watch the old man..,. i was abit put off by the quote " its not about how hard you can hit, its about how hard you can get hit" i know you need to take a punch but come on rocky get the parkinsons out the way and smash him like you did the russian.

I recently acquired them all and i watched Rocky I. And i loved it. You can find the training montages from all the Rocky films on youtube. Here is the first one :

I was a bit disappointed with Rocky Balboa but it was still a decent movie.

Going to see it tommorow, really cant wait, got the main music by three 6 mafia, its a fight, well good music, good for training.

From what everybody is saying it sounds like they have made good progress with it all!!!!!

Well to each his own, I guess...
but since youse guys like the montage here's a ditty from "team America":

The hour's approaching, just give it your best
You've got to reach your prime.
That’s when you need to put yourself to the test,
And show us a passage of time,
We're gonna need a montage (montage)
Oh it takes a montage (montage)

Show a lot of things happening at once,
Remind everyone of what’s going on (what’s going on?)
And with every shot you show a little improvement
To show it all would take too long
That’s called a montage (montage)
Oh we want montage (montage)

And anything that we want to go from just a beginner to a pro,
You need a montage (montage)
Even Rocky had a montage (montage)

(Montage…montage)

Anything that we want to go from just a beginner to a pro,
You need a montage (montage)
Oh it takes a montage (montage)

Always fade out in a montage,
If you fade out, it seem like more time
Has passed in a montage,
Montage.

I find it a little scary that you should know that, Dan...

Rocky Blaboa was pretty good and is definitely a better send off for the series than Rocky V was. The first four are classic though.

Saw it on Sunday, thought it was a dissappointing Rocky compared to the others but still very good. A bit boring at the start but its cause there was alot of catching up to do. Anyway definately worth a watch. Can't beat Paulea, hes still the man.

Really enjoyed it, provides a decent ending to the Rocky series (unlike Rocky V)
