Product Description:
When he loses a highly publicized virtual boxing match to ex-champ Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), reigning heavyweight titleholder Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver) retaliates by challenging the Italian Stallion to a nationally televised, 10-round exhibition bout. To the surprise of his son (Milo Ventimiglia, TV's Heroes) and friends, Rocky agrees to come out of retirement and face an opponent who's faster, stronger and thirty years his junior. With the odds stacked firmly against him, Rocky takes on Dixon in what will become the greatest fight in boxing history, a hard-hitting, action-packed battle of the ages!
Amazon.com:
The sixth installment of the Rocky series picks up the story of the Italian Stallion 16 years after the morose Rocky V. And sure, at his advanced age, Sylvester Stallone now looks like one of those sides of beef his character used to pound on. No matter. Somehow you buy the premise after all these years, even if it takes forever for Rocky Balboa to stop wallowing in self-pity (Adrian is dead, his old haunts are demolished) and get down to the business of drinking raw eggs and running up staircases. The business at hand is an unlikely exhibition fight with champion Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver), which the near-sexagenarian Mr. Balboa has no business accepting. Of course, just as sure as the horns of Bill Conti's theme music are even now trumpeting through your head, the ol' Rock might have a punch or two left in him. Stallone wrote and directed, and there isn't much to say except that the movie steps in its pre-determined paces with a canny sense of what has come before (it's practically an homage to all the previous Rocky pictures, complete with fleeting flashbacks). Burt Young is around again, and Geraldine Hughes makes an appealing, rather chaste female companion for Rocky. Stallone's Rocky has gotten suspiciously articulate over the years, but he still knows how to slouch. If Stallone never forgets that, he can probably keep the franchise rolling. --Robert Horton

This movie is arguably the best one in the series, minus the original. It's not about the aging Rocky that's been overexposed by the American public. No, it's the story of a former boxer whose nostalgia for his former days of glory haunt his every move. His son doesn't understand, people from his neighborhood don't understand: Rocky is older, wiser, sadder but he still has a little bit of his former self there. In fact, he's still the same person, it's just that he doesn't move as quickly. But the ... Read More

This is an awesome movie that makes you realize that anything is possible as long as you have hope.

After the terrible "Rocky 5",some 16 years earlier,I had given up on Rocky sequels.There had been rumors of"Rocky 6"circulating for years.I was adamant that after"Rocky 5",I wouldn't pay money to see another stupid"Rocky"picture.And yet after 16 years,I kinda missed Rocky,I decided to see the film.I left the theater quite impressed and moved;Stallone put the heart back in Rocky.No more cartoonish bad guys,no more rehashing,no more let downs;This was one of the best Rocky films in years.It was actually ...

Rocky Balboa is pretty much what you'd expect. Rocky's retired from boxing and running a little Italian restaurant where he gives fellow former boxers free meals and entertains the customers with stories from his days as the champ. But Adrian's dead, and Rocky's living in the past, and their son is tired of living in his famous father's shadow.
The current champ, Mason Dixon, is suffering from a bad reputation. He's had nothing but knockouts, so boxing fans are complaining that he's only taking ... Read More
