I consider ROCKY BALBOA a more-than-fitting, "full circle" to the ROCKY legend..S.S. is a brilliant, sensitive writer, who knows his alter-ego better than anyone..He loves each character in the series passionately, and esp. "Adrian", who, while leaving a definite vacancy here, is nonetheless VERY MUCH a part of the entire film..She is a part of his heart, that which he takes with him everywhere he goes, and as ROCKY says at the end of the picture: "NONE OF IT would've been possible without YOU!" He comes back to "SQUARE 1" , bringing characters back from the first picture, and thereby ties it up with a CHAMPION's glove!
I was raised in the Philadelphia area when ROCKY first premiered back in 1976, and ever since then, he and that City have been one- and- the- same!The series has been so much more than "just a boxing" series; its a Cinderella story that rises and falls, yet STILL comes out ON TOP! "Only in America", they decreed in Rocky 5; and AIN'T IT THE TRUTH! Sylvester Stallone is still THE PRIDE OF PHILADELPHIA! I thank him for coming back for "one more round" and DOING IT RIGHT!
"WE LOVE YA ROCK!"
