Will "Creed" Be Rocky Balboa's Last Movie?

Any Rocky fans out there?  If there are, then November 25th must be circled on your calender!

Creed, a new movie that features Apollo Creed's son, is in production.  Here's the official synopsis:



“Adonis Johnson (Jordan) never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born.  Still, there’s no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed’s legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa.
Once in the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer.  Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo—the fierce rival who became his closest friend.  Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring.
With Rocky in his corner, it isn’t long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title…but can he develop not only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the ring?”

It does sound like this might be the last hurrah for Balboa, as rumors of Stallone's character getting cancer are swirling around the net.  This is Rocky, though, and it may be just another fight that he has to fight to win.

I have to admit, the last movie that they released, Rocky Balboa, was one of my favorites, even though it was pretty predictable.  I still find his story entertaining, and usually end up watching them whenever I come across them on the television.  What are your thoughts on the franchise?  Is it still fun for you to watch, or do you think it just needs to fade away?  Let me know in the comments section below, or you can reach me at comconocave@gmail.com.
