Music reviews of Rocky Balboa: The Best of Rocky
Music Review: Inspirational
Rating: 5 Stars
I will never forget that night in 1976 when i attended the showing of Rocky, It transformed my life and inspired me beyond words. I have never felt the impact from any movie as i did with Rocky. It still is the most inspirational film of all time for me. The music matched the intensity of the fight to go the distance in life. The story behind the story about Stallone writing the script and with nothing he refused thousands of dollars to sell it outright but rather stuck to his heart and dreams and negotiated to play the part himself was just as inspiring as the movie. Anyone who has a dream in their heart has to love Rocky because it's obvious that God does. This CD captures all the songs that move and stir your spirit just as the movie did. The original theme from Rocky will be played at my funeral.
Description of Rocky Balboa: The Best of Rocky
No matter whether or not you think Sylvester Stallone should have gone back to the Rocky trough one more time, this soundtrack is fun because it's basically a collection of music from all the past movies in the saga, ending with Three 6 Mafia's rap contribution to Rocky Balboa, "It's a Fight." The CD starts off with Bill Conti's "Gonna Fly Now (Theme from Rocky)," which remains so totally awesome that we can only bow to its 1970s brilliance; a 2006 remix tagged on at the end doesn't improve on it. Oddly, the sequencing isn't chronological, maybe so the two best-known tracks--the original theme and Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger," from Rocky III--could start off the CD with a one-two punch. But that also means that we zig-zag back and forth in the Rocky saga. James Brown's "Living in America" (from Rocky IV) has aged rather well, but the compilers realized Bill Conti's proto-disco score for the first installment still fares the best, and so five tracks are pulled from it (compared to just one from Rocky V). That old warhorse's still got some juice. --Elisabeth VincentelliGeneral CDs
