Give me a break! this movie is for Sado-Masochism purposes only!

Rating: 1/10 (11 February 2005)

First of all I want to say that I'd never rated a movie with ZERO before that one, and it's important that you know that I didn't give it that low mark just to lower its average. most of the movie, more or less the first half, was pretty nice.Though we've seen this done more than a couple of times I told myself that it might be nice to see the 2005 version of Rocky. long story short - this movie is awful! SPOILERS... I couldn't see the entire movie. I did just so I would be able to write this review in peace and not think that I might have missed the overwhelming end of it. How can a movie which is nominated to whole kinds of awards can be so plain, predictable and stupid... The German B'atch takes a cheap shot and our hero breaks her upper back. On a personal note - It would've been better if she had died and the movie would've ended right there. I can't say how much I HATE those petty Oscar movies. a retardate boxer, a female trailer-trash super boxer who basically never loses, a black fighter who could have taken the belt and had lost his eye due to his pride, a gloomy coach and once again - the German boxer. When I saw that so many people gave it a 8 or 9 or even 10 in the rating chart I almost cried. how stupid can one get to be fooled by this so called movie. just because you see an eye sobbing movie you shouldn't rate it 10! Even if you do like this kind of pictures it still shouldn't get more than 4 or 5. I can feel it in my bones how the writer is thinking to himself how to make this movie more and more heartbreaking. I wan't to say to those filmmakers that killing the hero in a heartbreaking scene doesn't guaranty Oscar nomination, but I afraid I'd just be lying. on a final note - Stuppid Oscar season.
