Fantastic movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2015)

For those young kids who were not around in the era of Rocky, this is the modern day version. It has all the excitement, emotion and action that had us all on the edge of our seats when Rocky was originally out. Yes it is a bit predictable, but I loved it. And I would watch it again. I came out of the cinema with a smile on my face and a contented feeling that I had watched something worth seeing. The cast fit perfectly. Gyllenhaal is fantastic. I saw him last year in nightcrawler and was very impressed and now his role in this movie is proving he is one of the best actors of our day.
The only reason I don't give it 10/10 is because of 50 cent. That lad has the same expression on his face no matter what he has been in. His acting skills leave a lot to be desired. But that's just my opinion.
Definitely worth seeing.
