FILM REVIEW BY JAVIER FERRER

FILM TITLE: ROCKY BALBOA
COUNTRY / YEAR : USA, 12 January 2007
DIRECTOR: Sylvester Stallone
WRITING CREDITS: Sylvester Stallone. Stephen Schiff (screenplay)


CAST: Sylvester Stallone - (Rocky Balboa)Burt Young - (Paulie)Antonio Tarver - (Mason "The Line" Dixon)Geraldine Hughes - (Marie)Milo Ventimiglia - (Rocky Balboa Jr.)

SYNOPSYS :

Rocky Balboa' examines one of America's greatest icons at a vulnerable period in his life--middle age. A former heavyweight boxing champion, known and renown throughout the world for going the distance, Rocky finds a new venture: giving back to his community. This is where he, once more, finds himself at the opposing side of opportunity, not unlike the one he has seen decades ago. Heavyweight champ Mason Dixon and his representation offer Rocky a shot for the title. For Balboa, it'll be one last achievement he'll never forget but with his glory days far behind him can he confront the inevitabilities of what's to come. Finally agreeing to Mason Dixon's proposal, Rocky prepares to step in the ring for one last time.OPINION:

Like the best sports movies, its plot centres on the discovery of what is really important. This, the aging Rocky has learned in sequel after sequel, and now must share with others in his life, including the new champ. It’s a feel-good movie, one with an inspiring message. Mr. Stallone has definitely gone the distance. From my point of view you can conceive these types of films like something more interesting than people use to doing.


TYPES OF LANGUAGE:

The language used in this film is American English. There isn’t any crude language in the film. The film avoids much objectionable language, but does contain some expletives (ranging from damn and hell to ass).

CONCLUSION:

Normally movies of a Star Muscle, like Sylvester Stallone, if you ask men in their 30s and early 40s they will always defend these movies and most will admit that these films influenced their lives considerably. Younger people and older people just don’t get it. And most women will laugh at you regardless of their age. Sometimes you have to take a hit for something you believe in, and in the case of the 2006 movie, Rocky Balboa you might be surrounded.
