Go see it, that simple.

Rating: 9/10 (2 December 2015)

As an aging guy that isn't into boxing anymore (or any brutal sport), I was surprised how much I enjoyed this film. There were a few scenes that I thought could have been improved, but it is a near flawless movie. The only thing I really didn't enjoy about it was I had a headache afterward from trying to suppress tears rolling down my face as I watched this film. I guess the main thing that hit me so hard, was seeing Rocky as an old man, passing the torch. I am a child of the 80's and Rocky was definitely one of the icons I grew up with. Stallone as Rocky put in a performance of a lifetime in this film. But the kids will enjoy this film as well; there was a kid sitting in front of me who started clapping loudly as the credits started rolling and the whole theater followed suit, applauding at the end. This movie definitely captures something a little magical. It was very well done, especially the camera-work, writing and acting. This is an instant classic that should be seen in the theater. Not to be missed.
