The Fighter

It's no Rocky, but still very good.

A lot has been talked about Christian Bale in this film, and he is very good - but the fact of the matter is that i still think he's a cock. Due to this and the fact that there is another much better supporting performance i'm going to say that Melissa Leo gives an absolutely storming performance as the mother.

The rest of the cast is magnificent too (even Bale) and it is a great story. The fight sequences are good enough, but i cannot help comparing it to Rocky. And it isn't as good. Maybe this is unfair of me to judge but hey, judging i am.

an ok film that suffers from too much hype.
