A little surprised by this...

Rating: 8/10 (5 February 2007)

And yes i was a little surprised by this. And i felt a little guilty that i had not seen this film earlier as it was very very good and it deserves all the good things that people say about it.
I was expecting a female Rocky film, and most of the film was and you wanted her to go further and with, you wanted him to be the manager, and when the title fight came up you knew it would be a hard fight but she would come out on top. And this is where the surprise kicked in - almost shock really - quite sad too.
One thing that i did find very hard was Morgan freeman talking all the way through the film, i love Morgan to bits and think he is a god, but his talking was like mumbling and i feel i missed important bits about the history of the story. But on the bright side i'll just have to watch it again to see what i missed.
Good film well worth a watch, Clint has done good.
