My Favorite Film

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2004)

Rocky is my personal favorite movie. The performance of the cast is great and won best picture for a reason. That is why Im surprised it does'nt have a higher score. It may be that the sequels tarnished it a little. But that is no reason to give less credit to this film. I believe if they stopped after the second one they would be regarded as great films in the same regard as the first two Godfather films. Yet we would not have part 3 and 4 which are great in a different way. Rocky is an overall great picture of acting, directing, and musical score, but most of all great story telling. 10/10
