Rocky-Always and Forever a Winner!!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2006)

The Greatest underdog story in cinematic history, Rocky is a true tale of an underdog story where even with a million to one shot there is still a chance. I have watched this movie hundreds of times and it still moves me to this day. Maybe the greatest things to come out of this movie was introducing the world to one of the most underrated genius's of the Hollywood culture, Slyvester Stallone. This was a man who lived the rocky story in real life. Growing up in hells kitchen, this man was born to write, and for that matter star in the wonderful franchise. It is the story of Philadelphia club fighter Rocky Balboa who lives paycheck to paycheck fighting in small churches and crumby gymnasiums at night and working the streets as a collector to second rate lone shark tony gazzo. His shot comes the day the undated and unstoppable champ, appolo creed gives an underdog club boxer a shot at the biggest title in the sport. What comes after that is a story of passion, love, fight and the power to dream the impossible dream. I cant wait for December 22 the day this storied franchise, my favorite thing in the world, rocky, hits the theaters for one more round!!!!
