Whoa...lets slow down here. Nobody is insinuating Rocky V is anywhere near as entertaining as Rocky IV. IMO, Rocky IV is definitely the most rewatchable of all five (Rocky III is close behind). It does have its merits, however.

Rocky (I) isn't more watchable? It's actually a great movie.

I don't think he's arguing that IV is a better movie than the original, rewatchability doesn't always mean a better movie though. Of course The Seven Samurai is a better movie than Office Space, yet I feel the urge to watch Office Space much more often.

I'm sorry...I thought this was a given. For instance, "Apocalypse Now" is a great movie, but I'd much rather watch "Road House" for the 782nd time when I'm sitting around with friends drinking a few beers.

Wow, watching that one twice would be tough going for me.

Right now the movie is actually being titled "Rocky Balboa" and not Rocky 6. It has a tentative release date in February 2006 but has been moved around a bunch of times, which is never a good sign for any film(sometimes leads to releasing straight-to-video or dropping the project all together).

How can this be true? Its almost the middle of October, and they haven't even started filming yet! That would be one of the quickest turnarounds in film history if they got this thing out the door by February.

Oops, my bad. I meant February 2007. Sorry about that.

I want to see him as a boxing commentator. He could be like a more respectful, less drunk Larry Merchant. They both speak at about the same speed, and like Larry, he could write out a bunch of silly metaphors on napkins to read during a fight, and then screw them up while everyone tries to just move along without comment or lets out a snicker.

Rocky Balboa trying to route complicated high-falutin' eloquence through Philadelphia street speak and pugilistic brain damage would be worth hearing on any fight. He could go on riveting old man non-sequiturs about how prunes are helping his bowel movements and such, and sometimes mistakenly think he had been in the match and won the fight, and grab the belt and hold it up in the air triumphantly.

I'd watch a fight with Rocky Balboa as borderline senile commentator any day.

Rocky is one of my all time favorite films. It was Stallone breakthrough film and since then he has only made one other credible film, First Blood.

That fact that he has gone on to star in a long list of formulaic drivel probably tarnishes what was and still is a wonderful piece of work.

Rock VI is total lunacy
