The Original and best

Rating: 8/10 (30 January 2005)

Rocky Balboa, a legend in movie history created and portrayed by Sylvester Stallone, is more than just a boxer, he's a very realistic character.
In his first outing, he is given a once in a lifetime chance to fight the champion of the world. But Rocky is more than just a boxing movie, it a story of a mans journey through life, when all he's any good at it beating people up, the hardships, the struggles, the romance and the sheer determination of the man are all captured here in this wonderfully made film.
Rocky is an awesome 'feel good' movie that shows us that the little guy can make a difference after all.
8/10 The whole series is worth watching, although none of them recapture the quality of the original, Warning, they do get progressively worse as the series goes on, and you might want to avoid number 5.
