Do you believe that America is the land of opportunity?

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2014)

This 1976 best picture winner inspired a nation! A struggling Philadelphia club fighter called Rocky Balboa gets a once in a lifetime opportunity to fight for love, glory and self respect as he gets the chance to fight the world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed after his opponent drops out through injury Creed hand picks Balboa to be his opponent. Featuring a legendary musical score and thrilling fight sequences this rousing crowd-pleaser scores a knockout. The first time i seen Rocky i didn't really enjoy it but once you get older and watch it, it definitely lives up to the 8.1 rating it received on this, when i was young and watched this the reason i didn't like it as much as i do know is probably because of the lack of action as this film shows Rocky how he was before he got the shot at the title!
ROCKY is a knockout
****/***** Very good
