Rocky vs. Jake LaMotta

Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2014)

Wow! This movie turned out to be a lot better than I thought. It has a fun and enthralling story, fun humor and good pacing. It's just entertaining from start to finish, there just wasn't a moment where I felt I was bored and even has heart to go with it. The plot is about a grudge match that takes place between ex-boxers after 30 yrs. Yeah, sure one fighter might be more likable than the other, but the other has a heartfelt backstory so it balances out. Sylvester Stallone basically plays Rocky Balboa and Robert De Niro basically plays his portrayal of Jake LaMotta. Overall I had a good time with this film and for the most part thoroughly enjoyed it. If you enjoyed this film, I recommend a Korean film called "Crying Fist".
8.2/10
