Rocky: A fine fairy-tale for anyone

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2003)

"Rocky" is for me much of a Fairy-tale, but it has been damaged by the bad sequels. Try to ignore the sequels, and pay your full attention to this film.
'Rocky' is for me as good as 'Raging Bull' and should not be ignored just because it hasn't Scorsese´s stylish and lavished direction.
This is a story of an ordinary man, and he is not a loser, but he thinks he is. That is the main thing with this film, and that is much of it's quality and it's big heart.
Rating: 8 of 10.
