I cried like a little baby, but not at the end, I cried during the scene of Rocky shouting loudly at the old man offering himself as a manager. The actual end seems a litte bit tired, like there wasn't enough time to finish it to perfection, but still finish it enough to be done with it and unleash it upon the world. I can't imagine this story needing any other instalment to tell it better or expand on its theme (and I probably won't watch any other Rocky movie because of that). I don't see it as a "sports movie", to me it's a new wave film: little dialogue, a lot of emotion, humanity dissected. Damn.
