I admit when I heard this movie was being made I thought how brutal, another lame attempt to get blood from a stone. I'm glad I was wrong. The commercials alone got me to see this film last night, that plus the fact I had off and all my Christmas shopping done, why not check it out. I got goose bumps a few times and the story was good .A little corny maybe at times but over all nicely done. I would recommend this to any Rocky fan and even those who aren't.
