The most inspiring American film ever!

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2003)

Rocky is much more than just a boxing movie. In fact, it really isn't about boxing at all. It could be any subject, sport, etc. The real story it about the American dream and about how, even though hard work cannot win you everything (remember he lost the championship against Apollo) you can be happy in life and win self-respect. Not only is the movie incredibly inspiring and well made, but it is a shadow story of Stallone's life. If one looks deep into this movie, and they don't worry about the other four films (which are only good for fun entertainment value if your a real Rocky-fan) than... you'll realize just how great this movie is. Not too many films can make you believe in something so much, in such a realisitc manner. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST EVER & MY PERSONAL FAVORITE!
