Incredible how it makes you feel.

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2007)

I mean "incredible" in terms of how inspiring, unique, motivational, moving, and triumphant this movie is. Rocky is nothing short of an excellent movie. The first thing to mention is Rocky himself. Rocky Balboa is no doubt one of the greatest characters in film history. His is an icon, a symbol, a figure. He is the definition of a "person with heart." The other thing that really stands out in this movie is the song, "Gonna Fly Now" shown during Rocky's training montages. The song is perfect. I consider the scene where he is running up the stairs to be one of the best scenes in a movie ever. Rocky would not be what it is without that perfect tune. The rest of the music is also great - whether it be the emotionally draining theme for "Adrian", his wife, or the ending theme after the fight.
It is just incredible how "Rocky" makes you feel. It stays with you. The more I think about this movie, the more I like it.
