Early reports are that this movie is actually very good, and the best movie in the Rocky world since the original.
Currently showing a 82% approval rating on RT from 11 critic reviews of early screenings, with average score of 7.9/10, which is quite high for this type of movie.

I hope its better than southpaw, that was a real disappointment indeed.
Nice to hear the promising reviews. He's a good actor. I see it's also the same director as Fruitvale station.

Rocky VI was awful. It was nowhere near as good as the first one.

I thought Southpaw was quality, maybe even better than The Fighter

Shut up you homo, Southpaw is shiite, The Fighter is the best boxing film of recent times.

I was really disappointed with southpaw
his life spiralled out of control far to quickly and also I found it stupid that a world champion of 30 odd fights undefeated has to go back and learn how to throw some simple punches of the old trainer and that his daughter could put in an old school children's home so easily.
really didn't impress me at all and not what I expected
( sorry if ive just spoilt the plot for anyone

Approval rating up to 93% from 85 reviews and average 8.1/10, imdb 8.8 but enough votes on that yet to make it meaningful. Why do you say there is literally no chance of the new one being the best since the original? You haven't even seen it you clown. Compare that to others in the franchise:
Rocky 93% 8.4/10 imdb 8.1
Rocky II 73% 6.5/10 imdb 7.1
Rocky III 63% 5.5/10 imdb 6.7
Rocky IV 40% 4.9/10 imdb 6.7
Rocky V 28% 4.1/10 imdb 5.1
Rocky Balboa 76% 6.5/10 imdb 7.2

Stallone has done more damage to the image of boxing than any person on the planet .
His ridiculous screams of *C'MON , C'MON * whilst getting hit with blows that in real life would result in permanent brain damage are an insult to the sport of boxing.

I bet there are more pro and amateur boxers that got into the sport because of Rocky than Ali.
