Purely Joyful Movie!
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film from beginning to end.
This masterfully crafted story is a must see for and Rocky or Karate Kid fans. You have not trully seen and loved those entire franchises If you do not know the vision of the director.
Saw this in theaters and was blown away. I learned so much about John Avildsen that I didn't realize. It's inspiring and well made. Definitely one of the best documentaries of this genre.
