Some Guy Sees "Rocky 6" Early; Sends Email to AICN
by Scott Weinberg | October 26, 2006
Discuss Article
Coming this Christmas to a theater near you is the fifth sequel to "Rocky." Some of you can't wait; some of you can't see the point. Either way, the movie geeks are pretty interested to see how the movie looks. Heck, it's gotta be better than "Rocky 5," right? Well, according to some guy who emailed AICN, "Rocky Balboa" is a pretty good flick.

From AICN: "Okay, they just had one of the first screenings of ROCKY BALBOA here in Orlando at Downtown Disney and I was lucky enough to score seats. There will be some general content spoilers, but I'm not going to get into any specifics. Hopefully some or all of this gets printed...

Let's just get one thing out of the way first: It's REALLY good. This is the Rocky we've come to know and love, the Rocky that went the distance with Apollo Creed (as opposed to the Rocky that street fought Tommy Gunn...)."

...and that's all I allowed myself to read. Who the hell wants spoilers at this point?

It's good to have low expectations. Now my expectations for this have become high. It can only dissapoint.

Weinberg,

You say you didn't want to read the email in it's entirity for fear of spoiler's. Well YOU SPOILED IT ALREADY! the remark about Apollo kind of gives the ending away. Let me guess? He will go the distance, but lose on a point's decision.

[b]hey buck shut up[/b]
Rocky 6 is gonna be awesome, the only reason Rocky 5 sucked was because Stallone didn't direct, it doesn't really matter if he wins or loses either way it's going to be legit!

Well, Stallone did not direct the original Rocky either. I don't care if he wins. loses, or dies training for the fight or from a hip surgery gone wrong. I am going to be there.

i personally have nothing but best wishes towards Rocky 6. i think they are gonna fix what rocky 5 broke. and as for BUCK, i don't think he ment it was actually literal about the Apollo remark, i think he was talking about that climatic feeling you feel when you see that fight.
