To be a contender, the movie needed to put up a Fresh rating after 20 reviews, before we ranked them with our weighted formula calculating a film’s Tomatometer score, its number of reviews, and year of release. And, yes, we’re going international in this corner: see Knuckle all the way from Ireland, and China Heavyweight, all the way from, er, China. Siliconera is the go-to site for international video game news, original translations, hands-on impressions, and interviews you wont see anywhere else. And in another corner (we have a lot of corners): hard-hitting documentaries, repped by When We Were Kings and Unforgivable Blackness. In the other, hungry newcomers like Creed and Million Dollar Baby. Tonight’s title bout: The best-reviewed boxing movies ever! In one corner, we have heavyweight classics like Rocky and Raging Bull. And then it’s about hitting somebody for money. Undying commitment to the physical vision. In the odd century-plus that’s passed since, boxing cinema has evolved past mere punching for spectacle.
Pugilists have been popular camera subjects since the start - boxing, at the time, being arguably the most interesting thing you do to another person in public.
