Rocky and Lil' Marie

Yep. That's Lil' Marie all grown up. Remember when Rocky gave her some advice in the first movie? My bet is she will soon return the favor.

I do agree that the new Rocky movie resembles the first one; and from rumors that I have read about the ending of this latest Rocky film, there will be another sequel to the Rocky franchise

That's a fairly safe bet, my friend, given that she's seen returning the favour in the trailer.

...Oh, and I love the site, keep up the good work. It's cool to have a site like this to build up anticipation for the film. I still can't quite believe I'll be able to see a brand new Rocky film. All I watched as a kid was Rocky IV, so hopefully this one will bury Rocky V and finish the series properly.

Nice work.

The world needs a Rocky. We all sometime feel that the world is agaist us. Rocky gives us back the hope and desire to never give up and do what it takes to make your dreams come true.

mi idolo de todos los tiempos desde que vi la primera pelicula de ROCKY me a inspirado toda la vida y cada vez que las puedo ver en mis momentos dificiles las veo y me siento bien por el mensaje que realmente transmite esta pelicula como son en creer en Dios, la familia sus valores,la lucha por superarse el perdon,el amor al projimo y todo su mensaje positivo que descubro cada vez que la veo. Rocky es la mejor pelicula del siglo 20 y 21.

I can't wait for this movie. It looks great. I can't get enough feed back on this new movie. My friends and family think I am nuts. It seems like out of all of the people arond me, I am the only one excited. But, I think this should be the last one. Let him go out with pride. It should end in him beating the crap out of Dixon, but lose by decision, just like the end of part one. That would be full circle. Please, no Rocky 7. It wouldn't be believable and the movie wouldn't be the same without Stallone fighting in the ring. They already had him as a trainer in part 5. This franchise should end after this movie on a reaspectable note.

Well, living hear in Philly, actually right down the street from Sly's highschool, obviously everyone i know has a spot in their hearts for Rocky...I think this movie could top charts if it was released in this city alone, EVERYONE i know is looking forward to it. I mean people really are getting excited. I have friends from school who live in the neighborhoods it was filmed in, some who were even extras, its just really awesome. Its cool for us because everyone here has a more personal thing with Rocky, becuase its like, hes one of us. Its really awesome. BTW getting a real boxer this time for rocky to fight was a great idea, and I'm hoping we can see some cameos by Joe Frasier and Bernard Hopkins. I was thinking, people should give Sly more credit, at his age and all his experience now, he should be able to make an excellent movie.

Sly actually had the real Marie in Part 5 but cut her part out. She was protrayed as a drunken whore. What he was trying to keep her from doing in part 1 I see they went with a completely NEW Marie in part 6

No offence Mr Stallone, but for me this will be Rocky 3. It looks from the trailer that the rawness of the first two films is back and I say welcome to it.

Not that 3,4 and 5 were bad films on their own.

Nice idea to have Marie back.

I really hope that Rocky at least ends up with some money from this boxing match against Mason Dixon.

Does anyone know if he'll at least make a few millions from this fight.

Let him at least be rich at the end as opposed to still living in the slums of Philly.

The trailer for the new film looks great, Kudos to Stallone - the story and dialogue seems whitty and very true to the original characters - All bets look like we'll see the classic training montage scenes and a great series of fights - He knows the formula better than anyone - Lets hope the rumours of a Mr T - Clubber Lang cameo are true. The story seems to be playing Sly' character as the underdog- like the original - and in the cinema context - Nonetheless Stallone will always be a Legend- this film will confirm that.

This movie has serious potential to be one of the greatest rocky films ever made. Its the comeback story that we all love to see happen. This movie will make the character Rocky become full circle. I just have a hunch about that one. I went on the audition for this film in Philadelphia and I can tell you that the spirit of the city and its people is all over this film. I think that is why the original Rocky was such a success and that is why this film will definitely deliver a striking blow to the public. It will be very reminiscent of the first and second Rocky films with struggle, loneliness, desire and heart playing an underlying theme throughout this film. Its gonna surprise a lot of people, including the skeptics...Go Sly! Hit em with another round of Glory!

Perfect timing for this movie to come out. The world is in a dark place where it needs an underdog story to breathe new life and fire into all of us.. Rocky is everyones guilty pleasure. Through out the Rocky films we watched him struggle..we watched him become champion..we watched him fall from grace...we watched him lose everything...Now we we'll see him come full circle and be REBORN!! Its gonna be the best Christmas ever!! Thank you Sly..your the man!

Absolutely amazing movie. Rocky, you have inspired me through so many years and you continue to do so still. I loved the movie and the message. You help me realize personally that I can do the things I need to do....no matter what the odds, no matter what the obstacles and no matter what others think! Thank you so much for the years of encouragement. Love you, Rocky!
