One of Stallone's better films

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2006)

May contain spoiler.
I got to see the Rocky films for the first time a few weeks ago. At first I didn't know if I was going to like this film, since I'm not a Stallone fan, as a lot of films tend to be bad.
However I liked Rocky. The story of a man given the shot of lifetime to be World Heavyweight Boxing Champion. At first Rocky is just a poor club fighter, making very little money, and also working for a collector as well. When the champ's opponent backs down from the fight due to injury, the champ chooses Rocky saying this will sound like something from a monster movie.
All the actors and actresses do a good job, and the lines are solid, and not cheesy.
Overall a good film that is must see for everyone, for those who cheer for the underdog.
