"Ain't gonna be no rematch! "Don't want one!"

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2005)

This is seriously one of the most amazing, astonishing and 'insert another 1000 superlatives here' films in the history of cinema.
I always bypassed Rocky 1 as a Stallone fan due to enjoying his more action packed films. However today I smoked a joint and watched the special edition DVD with director's commentary and my God, it took me away, it really did.
This film is more than just a movie; it's like a beautifully crafted ball of positive energy and inspiration for every single person. I mean it is so magnificent on so many dimensions and aspects it's overwhelming.
Hollywood reached its highest peak with this film and I think its one of the highest peaks the medium of film has ever reached. A genuine and authentic work of artistic and visceral bliss. I personally feel blessed to have seen this film because it really encapsulates the beauty of life immaculately. Stallone deserves every single bit of success he has ever received. He is a cinema icon and a matchless role model. Fantastic beyond words.
Don't miss this film for anything.
