    Me too, and I'm not even that big of a fan of the earlier movies. If done as well as it could be, I think it could be well worth the price of admission.

    By the way, part of me wants him to die in the ring or at least lose the fight, just for realism's sake. Plus I love tragic, non-cliche endings.

    Yooooo...that was just a concussion hangover from fighting Ivan Drago.

    I guess Adrian kicked the bucket after the last one. I didn't see her and it looked like Rocky was at her gravesite with flowers near the end of the trailer.

    Glad they brought back Apollo's trainer. Where'd the info about Adrian come from?

    If he dies, he dies.

    the trailer looks kind of intresting, never been a big fan of the original as an adult, liked them as a kid, but this looks like it maybe ok, the fight sequences look a bit more realistic.

    In this film, Adrian has been dead for a few years, his son is all grown up and is basically a "suit" who wants nothing to do with his dad; he's constantly living in his shadow as everyone tells him how great a fighter his dad was. Meanwhile the only thing Rocky has is a sports bar he owns and the memories of the fighter he once was....and of course Pauly who is some kind of foreman of sorts at the meat packing plant in the first film. It's esssentially a film about what do you do when everything and everyone you cared for is gone.

    Just do a search on Ainti-It-Cool and you can find all this info there...most if it being taken from inside looks in his magazine.

    This is DEF the last one. I'm looking forward to it. For those of you who were too young to enjoy the rocky series please refrain from bashing it. Rocky V tarnished the series but the first four were absolute classics and watching that trailer almost brought a tear to my eye. I remember going to see rocky III and IV at the theaters with my mom. I think Rocky IV was the best.
