{movie} rocky balboa (2006)

Though long retired from boxing, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) returns to the ring for one last hurrah in this drama featuring the iconic action star. Now widowed, Rocky's settled into middle age running a deli. But the former champ misses the sparring life, and he's drawn back into the ring after suffering a personal tragedy. When he's offered a shot at the title, he'll have to go all out to prove he's still got what it takes.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** (Actually 3.5) Here we go, one more time and hopefully one last time. While anything would be better than Rocky V and while this was an all right film, there's nothing here that would make me want to see a seventh film. I think this was a fitting end to the Rocky series. They did a great job with the story. Milo Ventimiglia also does a great job as Rocky's son Robert.
