Stallone's best ?

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2005)

Some might say that it's not the greatest of accolades to call a film Stallone's best cinematic effort.
Actually, I think over the years he has been under-rated and has done some good material, but there is no doubt that Rocky is his masterpiece.
As journeyman boxer Rocky Balboa, Stallone impresses throughout with both his physique and his character acting, in the ultimate story of David vs Goliath - his bout with undisputed heavyweight champion Apollo Creed not exactly something that seems realistic in these heady days of Don King dominated 'show' boxing.
Immensely enjoyable and excellent throughout, even 25 years on this is still an excellent film and good entertainment.
