I didn't expect it to have that much of a story. I expected one relentless boxing match one after the other like "Raging Bull." But I'm glad that there's a story to it--that I go to witness the rise of a beaten man to greatness. I'm impressed that I found heart in this film, such as scenes where we would give someone a word of wisdom. It made me care about Rocky, especially during the match. I did enjoy the ending very much because the credits started rolling during the climax. This film is inspiring, uplifting, and a nailbiter. At first I was reluctant to see this because I'm not a very big fan of sports pictures. After watching this movie, I am now curious to see its sequels.
