Inspirational, stunning, and moving-One of the greatest sports movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2006)

Rocky is about a small time boxer from Philadelphia who gets a once in a lifetime offer to challenge heavyweight champ, Apollo Creed. This is one of the most moving and inspiring films that I have ever seen. Rocky Balboa played by Sylvester Stallone, who also wrote the screenplay for the film, played an absolutely breathtaking performance that made him an icon in today's films. Stallone is backed up by other really good performances from Talia Shire as Adrian, Carl Weathers as Apollo Creed, Burt Young as Paulie, and Burgess Meredith as Mickey. The film is extremely stunning in its own aspects and is inspirational to never give up and always work at what you've been brought up to. This is a fantastic sports movie that moved me in every way. I highly recommend "Rocky!"
