No other Stallone film can touch the purity of ROCKY!!

Rating: Null/10 (23 August 2000)

Sly admits it himself. He was hungrier then, he was on the edge, they were making the film on a VERY limited budget. But somehow, it all worked! This is a classic film that will NEVER go out of style. Is it a boxing film? No. Is it a love story? Yes. With a boxer in the lead role. Every ROCKY film is a love story with a boxer in the lead role. WHO DOESN'T know Rocky & Adrian? WHO CAN'T recite at least a couple of famous lines from this movie? Sly will ALWAYS be remembered for his sensitive, powerful and compelling portrayal of "ROCKY Balboa, The Italian Stallion!"
