By all means, I don't believe this is an Oscar movie, or even the best in the Rocky series. However if you are a true Rocky fan, you will really enjoy this movie. It shows a great side of Rocky that is more outside the ring, and we get to go back to the streets where the original Rocky started. The Flash backs of Mick in the Gym with young Rocky just might bring a tear to your eye. And then of course there is still Paulie who delivers one of his best lines in the entire series. "Hey Rock, what do you say we go wrap our teeth around a few cold ones." The final fight seen is a little drawn out, but this is Rocky who can get knocked down 20 times in a fight and still win. Plus the final fight is a good old fashioned street fight, which I thought was great. Any true Rocky fan will love this movie.

Vision Quest
(1985)
A great sports movie that should be seen
17 June 2005
Vision Quest is a must see for any sports movie fan. It compares to any other 80's sports movie and is more believable. It has great actors, a truly great soundtrack and is a touching movie. Don't forget that this is an 80's movie, so at times the movie will look and sound a little corny, but it is an excellent movie. Anyone who gave this movie a bad rating either was not born until after the 80's or didn't truly experience the 80's. Especially an athlete in the 80's. Matt Modine is at his best and plays the part of an athlete great unlike many other sports movies. This is one of the best sports movies and probably the best wrestling movies, I also can not say enough about JOURNEY jamming the soundtrack. Great movie!!
