It's not about the fight, It's about getting to the fight.

Not since Superman have I ever been this pumped up about a movie. As the light went down my heart began to pump from the pit of my stomach. As the Rocky theme played people started to cheer! A tear came to my eye, this would be the first of many. I know there has been a lot of talk and a lot of hype following this movie but that doesn't mean anything once the movie comes out and it stinks. I am here to tell you that this movie is outstanding. I don't want to give anything away but I will say this, Rocky Balboa is real. The characters, their performance, the plot all seem real. They responded to life and each other the way real people would respond. I think this was one of the first movies that didn't have a bit of Hollywood influence in it. In the end when the pictured faded and the people stopped clapping (still don't understand why people do that? It's a movie, they can't hear you.) I was left with a little sadness that it was over. I wanted more. I am starting my boxing training tomorrow.
