Stallone's very best!!

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2004)

this is a very inspiring movie.....and it has been a bit ruined by it's sequels......don't get me wrong.....the sequels are not bad, but the way they are.....so different.....so commercial, "rocky against clubber lang!!!!rocky against the huge Russian!!!!".......except this one, that shows the story of a shy, unknown boxer who's given the chance to fight the heavyweight champion, and how he's afraid that he won't make it......a very good movie with a great musical score by Bill Conti, a great performance by Stallone(his very best), and by all it's cast......Burgess Meredith is outstanding as rocky's trainer, Talia Shire is also very good as Rocky's girlfriend...... This is the unique Rocky film and the unforgettable one and it works every time you see it......***** out of 5
