Comes out Friday. Certainly being promoted heavily. Looks like it could be good and probably would be a good one to watch in the theater. Always thought Rocky would have been great to watch in a theater. Wonder where it'll rank on boxing films? Seems like out of sports films you can produce great boxing movies and some good baseball movies, but it's almost impossible to make a good basketball movie (except Hoosiers or Hoop Dreams), it's difficult to make a good football movie unless it's really about something other than football, and with the exception of about four movies it's impossible to pull off a good golf movie. Then there's this list of great boxing films:
Rocky
Rocky 4
Million Dollar Baby
Cinderella Man
The Fighter
Raging Bull
The Hurricane
Rocky II
Rocky Balboa
Ali
Grudge Match
Other Notables
