Cut me Mick.........

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2013)

I saw this movie when it came out. I was 13 then so that kind of makes me an old man now. I loved this movie then and I love it just as much now. I think where people are misled is that they feel this is considered strictly a boxing movie. In fact it is part love story as well. It 's funny because as you get older your taste changes in regards to your likes and dislikes. There were movies years ago I thought were good and now I consider them just OK. This movie, however, still moves me. The musical score is well done and provides emotion to the film. I think the only character that may have been done better is Pauly. Other than that this movie is intense and for a film made in 1976 the fight scenes are done pretty good. If you watch them though, there are flaws chronologically. Example, in the later rounds Rocky has no sweat on him in or bruises on his face or you will see a lot of empty seats in the arena. Just things to pick out. When you do watch this and you get to the part where Apollo Creed is being introduced and he is dressed like George Washington throwing money, you can hear someone laugh as if they were laughing at him. Yeah, the little things can be entertaining as well.
