Best Boxing Movie ever!

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2006)

I didn't see this movie till last year ago.
I've heard a lot about this movie, and decided to check it out. And it was a well written and well thought up movie.
Rocky is about an Italian/American born in Philledelphia. An underdog boxer who's only fought other underdog boxers. Rocky Balboa lives in the run down side of the city, and makes money by the fights he's been and working for a loan shark at the docks.
He never went up against a professional boxer. Right until Heavy Weight Champ, Apollo Creed has offered Rocky to fight him on New Years Day, that'll surely give him the chance of a life time. So Rocky now trains with all he's got with the help of his trainer, Mick and the support of Adrian, the woman he loves. This will make it a million to one shot fight for the least suspected challenger.
I'm not into boxing, but you got to admit that this is a great movie. From the beginning to end, you'll root for Rocky as if you were watching an actual boxing match. The acting is great, the story is inspiring, and the characters are memorable. No wonder this movie was highly acclaimed when it first came out in the 70s.
I highly recommend to the Stalone Fans and Die Hard Boxing Fans alike.
