The ultimate underdog

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2015)

I'm huge fan of all the Rocky movies. I couldn't even tell you how many times I've seen them over the years but I still cheer along with every single viewing and find myself all caught up in the struggle, heartbreak, training montages, music, love story and that final 15 round, blood splattered, go for glory, give it all ya got, fight.
I'm actually at a loss as to explain why this movie moves me so much? Maybe it's because I've always loved an underdog and this is the story of the ultimate underdog; a man whose whole life centers on a million to one shot. It's also about going the distance and in the case of this original movie, losing but winning the girl anyway. 02/13
