Best Rocky Ever!

Rating: Null/10 (27 April 2014)

Best training montage ever!
Best theme song ever: "Hearts on Fire"!
Best speeches ever! Speech after speech after speech. Apollo's speech about how they (Rocky & Apollo) have to do what they were born to do. Adrian's speech of love & concern to try to talk Rocky out of a potentially suicidal fight.
And finally, Rocky's concluding speech after defeating Drago about how we can change, we can all change. Yes - that speech made me cry.
I have been a longtime fan of Russian history, communist history, socialist history. As an American, I found nothing insulting or excessively jingoistic about this movie. If anything, it pokes light fun at the over-the-top excesses of nationalism (James Brown doing "Living in America").
Rocky, the most humble of hero ever put on screen, has the final word.
