one of the best

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2007)

Rocky is a modern Cinderella story about a down on his luck leg breaker / Boxer who is given a shot at the world heavywieght title by pure chance, Appollo doesn't pick him because he is a good boxer he picks him mainly because of his nick-name "The Italian Stallion". Rocky is written and stars Sylvester Stallone (Four of the sequels are also Directed by him) Stallone gives a very good performance as Rocky as is easily is best role, he has done many silly action films some work (Demolition Man) and some don't (Cobra) but who can blame him surely going on a film set using big guns, driving fast cars and yelling is the most fun job in the world, unfortunately those sort of roles don't get you much respect in Hollywood and Stallone is ridiculed often. The truth is Stallone is a good actor and rocky is a brilliant film, not many films can get an audience so emotional and Rocky does it without making an audience sad and make them cry but makes everybody in an audience jump up out of there seats and cheer, also not many other films use music so well, well done Bill Conti this has to be one of the best film scores in film history. I can't believe that this film isn't in the top 250 when it easily better than a lot of films in the top rated, quick everybody go out watch this and then vote 10 on IMDb i am on a mission to get this in the top 250.
