Director : Sylvester Stallone
Running Time : 102 mins

Ex heavy-weight champion Rocky Balboa (Stallone) has given up on boxing, instead putting his efforts into running his restaurant, named after his dead wife. But he comes out of retirement after being challenged by existing heavy-weight title holder Mason “The Line” Dixon following the current champs highly publicized defeat at the hands of Rocky in a computerized simulation.

This was quite a slow movie to begin with, crammed full of melodrama, but eventually we get down to the classic training and fighting we all loved from the originals. This is a definite must-see for all Rocky fans, and worth watching even if you didn’t enjoy the originals.
