Rocky is my favourite film character of all time. Rocky Balboa should have fought Tommy Gunn in the sqaured circle in R5 and Stallone knows this and is finally giving his fans a chance to see his character in the ring again. I too can't wait, this is going to be HUGE!

Booo! Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel. Nothing new? Really? Nothing at all?

i'm looking forward to this. i just hope they don't use the hip-hop music from this trailer in the movie. please, enough with trying to remix Bill Conti's music and "Eye of the Tiger" in some dopey effort to appeal to a younger audience. just bring classic Bill Conti back. and stop trying to wring more out of "Eye of the Tiger." it's a great song, no doubt. but do we really need another version of it or another rapper sampling it?

Oddly enough, it has the potential to be a good family/nostalgia picture. It's also self-aware of what it's trying to do, which is why I'm interested in seeing it. "Aren't you kinda, I don't know, too old?"

I must be losing my mind. That new trailer gave me goosebumps. I will be there to see it opening day. I hope it does well and makes some money. Sly/Rocky is such an icon and should go out with a good effort and not with that last debacle(Rocky 5).

So will the film start with a recap of the Stallone-Tommy Morrison barfight? If so, I am there!

I must say.. I'm looking forward to it. Sorry.. Some people are suckers for stupid football movies, I just happen to love boxing. Day one for me.

IT LOOKS REALLY AWESOME, BUT I HEAR THE SOUNDTRACK SUCKS FOR THIS MOVIE. IT MIGHT BE A GOOD FILM BUT WILL PROBABLY HAVE LOTS OF BAD BACKGROUND MUSIC...JUST LIKE THE PUNISHER. MOVIE WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER IF THE SOUNDTRACK WAS HALF DECENT. I REALLY THINK STALLONE SHOULD HAVE USED EXPLOSION IN THE SKY. THEY WRITE SUCH NICE INSTRUMENTALS WITH GOOD MELODY.

Yep, I think I'm gonna have to toss my vote into the "I can't believe I'm excited for this movie but I am!" bin.

That rap stuff at the end did blow though, especially at the very end with the main theme and that weird tapping bs. God I hate rap...

I agree with what most of everyone is saying. When I hear another "Rocky" movie I said to myself why? Now I actually feel as if they put an effort into this one as opposed to each sequel one following the iconic Oscar winning original.

This trailer is fantastic.
it looks like a come-back to the spirit of Rocky 1 and 2 which were both great movies (I mean Rocky 1 won the Oscar!).
You see that Sly understood everything by making everyone (even his own son and Paulie) questionning his age and his brains like most of the people are doing.
