Rocky Balboa, released in 2006, is the sixth installment of Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky films. When plans for Rocky Balboa were initially announced the idea was met with much criticism from critics and for good reason. The original Rocky movie was made in 1976 when Sylvester Stallone was 30 years old. Sylvester Stallone was looking to achieve the impossible by trying to recapture the success of Rocky with Rocky Balboa, three decades later.
With father time against him, Sylvester Stallone was able to overcome the obstacles and make Rocky Balboa one of the best films in the Rocky series. The reason Rocky Balboa is such a great film is the movie stayed true to the roots of the original Rocky. After failing to get Talia Shire, the actress who played Adrian in the Rocky series, to sign on for the Rocky Balboa project, the movie was written with the plot point that Adrian has passed away. Despite Adrian being gone from this world, Sylvester Stallone as Rocky continues to be faithful to her, even visiting her gravesite on a regular basis.
Because Rocky Balboa stays true to the original plot points of the Rocky series, Rocky Balboa is the perfect ending film to a classic movie series. Sylvester Stallone, who has written the scripts for all the Rocky movies, gave us all a knockout blow with Rocky Balboa. If you have yet to see Rocky Balboa, be on the look out for Sylvester Stallone’s masterpiece as the film has recently made its TV debut on FX and will surely be gracing your TV from time to time.
