not as good as i wish to remember

Rating: 6/10 (15 January 2003)

as a 11 yr old boy this film seemed the citizen kane of my era but as ive grown all it brings is a smile and perhaps the feelgood feeling all rocky films bring, whilst not being a bad film it suffers from an overindulgence of sylvester stallone and 80s syntho music, wheres the eye of the tiger! i ask myself! although this used to be my favourite ive had to relegate it to 3rd! soz to all the people that love this film but the fight scenes are also midly disapointing (skipping through rounds like they r tv channels) i give it a 6 ********************
