The new Rocky film just started filming, it's going to be called Creed, it's about Apollo Creed's grandson Adonis's efforts to become a champion boxer, trained by Rocky.
Weirdly, it also stars Tony Bellew as 'Pretty' Ricky Porter.

Thought it's more of a film with Rocky in it rather than a Rocky film

Back to Rocky, I truly believe if no other films were made after the first it'd go down as one of the best films ever made.
I love the whole series, but the first film is an absolute cinematic masterpiece

The first film was more about a shy woman that worked in a pet shop with Rocky in it rather than a Rocky film.

I know you're being funny but it isn't at all like that. It's a great story of an unlikely champion, and it plays out everything perfectly with little need for extensive dialogue. For a film apparently about boxing it got you really involved with Rocky's small world of simply training to do the only thing he's ever been good at, and it executed it brilliantly - in the same manner Drive does with Ryan Gosling.You're wasted on this message board http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif

The actual screenplay is genius as well, like when Rocky comes back from winning 40 dollars from a fight he says to his pet turtles "If you guys could sing and dance, I wouldn't have to go through this crap." And later when Adrian asks him why he boxes, he explains: "Because I can't sing and dance."http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif I just get really passionate about Rocky

"the film's first scene was taken place during the football match between Everton F.C. and West Bromwich Albion F.C. at Goodison Park in Liverpool.["
Surely the most unlikely setting for the opening scene of a Hollywood movie, ever.
Rather sadly, I checked the team sheet, our Conor was on the bench.

Needed sub titles as far as I'm concerned, couldn't understand a word Stallone said.
There was a poster in the background in a scene of Airplane II - The Sequel. ( the spce shuttle one set in the near future)
It showed a geriatric wearing boxing gloves.
The title and tagline was something like "Rocky LXIII - This time he's fighting for his pension"

The first Rocky film was excellent, the rest of the Rocky films were poor I thought. Best boxing film ever was Gentleman Jim, made back in 1942 with Errol Flynn playing the part of Jim Corbett and the superb Ward Bond as the legendary John L Sullivan. Terrific film based on real fighters, the scene in the dance hall just after Corbett had taken the world title from Sullivan is one of the most moving scenes in cinema history.

Rocky 6 was the closest to being as good as the first out of the whole series

Hate to break it to you but you basically threw out Hearts on Fire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q714t9QeZ1c) and No Easy Way Out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOXaPE6gklI).I meant it had to go because I no longer have means of playing a cassette. My former van had a tape player and "training montage" had a slamming on a Monday morning.

In that case I stand corrected. It is a wonderfully written screenplay starring one of the world's best actors in a very original story that could only be appreciated by those with a profound understanding of filmmaking - and the plot is far from predictable.The screenplay you're making fun of was nominated for an Oscar first of all and although Sly isn't the best of actors he was definitely at his best in the first Rocky film, even being compared to Marlon Brando by Roger Ebert. And how was the story predictable? I'm fairly sure everyone watching expected him to beat Apollo Creed considering the conventions of Hollywood is to feed the audience what they want.

Just got to watch this, finally, and it was alright. Didn't have the feel of a Rocky movie, although there were plenty of similarities, and didn't have the "high-stakes" build up of a typical Rocky film but it was entertaining enough, I enjoyed it.
Bellew was pretty good in it for a non-actor as well.
Other great boxing films are Somebody Up There Loves Me with Paul Newman (the story of Rocky Graziano), Body And Soul with John Garfield and of course De Niro in Raging Bull (Jake LaMotta).

Can't wait to watch it. Great to see Sly has been nominated for an Oscar, too.The film was quite good but I thought Sly was brilliant in it. I just looked up the other nominees and Ive seen all the films and can see him winning the best supporting actor. Though hardy was good in the revenant they'll be getting loads of oscars elsewhere, especially Leo for the big one.
Just watched it. Absolutely superb, completely reinvented the world of Rocky.
Sly deserves an Oscar
for that performance
