A Perfect Story

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2014)

This is a near perfect story. How many boxing movies portray 3 different matches? (even though the first one was a boxing-wrestling exhibition match for charity)
The most inspiring part of this movie is the speech delivered by Adrian in the middle, on the beach, to Rocky Balboa, to motivate him again to fight for what he really wants, for "you, only you, and nobody else". Adrian's speech had me in tears, and Talia Shire has finally, in the serious, ceased being this annoying little mousy wallflower as she had been in the Rocky series prior to this moment.
Stallone's and Mr T's physiques were incredible. I have no idea how Sylvester Stallone stars in and directs these amazing, extremely fast boxing action sequences.
Mr T's portrayal of the always-hungry metaphorical "tiger" deserves many accolades for acting.
