Sly is shot, he needs one last hit to fall back on....and he might as well make that hit another Rocky....he needs to atleast end the series on a better movie that 5...
Rocky 5 was a mistake and should have never been released...

Sly's career is gonna be ruined with a Rocky 6. Im surprised the fifth one didn't kill his career. He got lucky. Can he do it again?
Well, I loved all the Rocky movies and i thought four was the best next to the first one. The let down i think with the fifth one was he didn't have a good opponent. Also, they took all his money away in the script and dumped him the gutter but I still think 6 is a bad idea. I'll see it naturally and who knows maybe it will be pretty damn good. I never took the Rocky series too seriously anyway. The first got the best picture award so the series is in concrete. The sequals i believe were all good except the fifth and the Rocky series are undeniably the best sports movies of all, especially the first.
Why oh why god! Why another Rocky sequal?! When I heard about this I was just wondering, "why would they make another one if 5 was a flop?". I really liked Rocky and Rocky 2, but the rest of them were just horrible, and I feel this one will be even worse.
First day on the forums and you are already taking pot shots at veteran members?
Cute.
Cool man, we get it, you like the Rocky films. No need to be a jerk about it.

Each Rocky film was fantastic.
You're Just not looking at the series the right way. It's a progression of this man's life over a 30 year period, it's just done in six installments.
Boxing has nothing to do with the point of this series. It's all metaphor and symbolism. Maybe you're just too shallow.
Maybe you can expand on "[i]t's all metaphor and symbolism." What stands out to you? Of course, every film can be said to be made of the stuff of "metaphor and symbolism." Rocky is no different.
Perhaps you could approach this film series from an approach that asks the question, "Why would someone not like this film?" One may find that this more objective approach, honestly addressed, can enhance a film's meaning as well as highlight the shortcomings. This can't be a bad thing to do.
I certainly agree that Rocky was a good film, but they seem to fall apart after that for various reasons. I thought that the last film brought back the "feel" of the original film though. However, I do not see any more films in this storyline being made without negating the major point of the last film.
