    Haven't watched all of score. Isn't that movie kind of boring, or am I thinking of another movie?

      Most biopics tend to be disappointing. I haven't seen this one but I had a feeling it would not be a great movie like Raging Bull. DeNiro has been mailing it in for the last twenty years, and too many movies that are made today do not have that gritty feel to them, they need to be watered down so they can appeal to a broader audience.

      I also skipped over "Bleed for This" Vinny Pazienza's movie. Anyone see it? Recommend it?

          good flick. acting was on point and story line didn't do much deviation. solid movie.

            Watched this for 5 minutes, then decided to fast forward. Worst movie ever made, too many sex scenes too. No place in a boxing movie. Is there anyone who thought it would be good?

            Bleed For This was way better

              Its pretty good. De Niro's a restaurant/bar owner in Montreal as a front but in actuality he's a professional thief. He, Ed Norton and Marlon Brando get together to pull a major heist in the city. I think the planning and execution of the robbery is interesting.

                I actually thought it was decent, and I studied Film so nobody can really argue with me.

                  Yeah, I remember the bar scene with Brando. I'll check it out tonight, or sometime this week.

                    sorry but there are many movies that top rocky, which I love.

                    let me give you one example:
