Rocky "Goes the Distance" in this movie!

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2000)

If you are down and out and need a little pick-up and can believe in miracles, then this movie is a must see! Not only did this movie show determination throughout, it took a lot of determination just to get this movie going! Producers were hesitant on making this movie due to the possible lack of appeal to many people. I am glad they took a chance! It put Sylvester Stallone on the map! If they put Burt Reynolds as the lead actor as originally hoped for by producers, this would have been a flop! I have never seen an actor born to play a role like Sylvester Stallone did on this movie! The only thing better than Rocky was Rocky II! It started to slip on Rocky III and really fell on Rocky IV, but picked back up on Rocky V and my only regret about this series is that a part VI was never made! I have had a yearning to meet Sly Stallone ever since I saw this movie! It kicks butt!!!
