They said that they especially liked interviewing and shooting the cute girls ;-)

Originally Posted By DAR Aint It Cool News held an event in Austin called Butt Numb A Thon in which people watch movies for about 36 hours. No remember this a group of moviegoers that pretty much nitpick everything. Well according to reports the crowd loved loved the movie. There were reports of people cheering the whole time.

Sly said there will be no more "Rocky" movies. That is why this one is titled "Rocky Balboa". The last name indicates the last "Rocky".

Originally Posted By Fe Maiden I saw it as well. As a Rocky fan it was everything I could have hoped for. He really captured the spirit of the first film.
