Great movie!

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2005)

A wonderful bio-pic of famous boxer James Braddock, the Cinderella Man who went from riches to rags and back to riches again. He inspired many individuals who were impoverished as a result of the Great Depression by giving them a sense of hope since he overcame poverty.
It's really hard for me to say if this is better than "Rocky" or not. I believe both are the same. My only gripe about the film is the profanity and abuses of deity. Other than that, everything is cool. Still, the jumpy camera angles during the fight scenes nearly gave me vertigo.
I'm surprised boxers like James Braddock survived because of poor padded equipment and lack of adequate medical care.
