After seeing Creed I had to watch Rocky

Rating: 8/10 (6 December 2015)

The story showed the upbringing of an underdog. You can connect and feel the struggles of his character throughout the movie. The love interest didn't feel tacked on at all, you see Rocky find someone who understands him and is by his side. The scene with him admitting his fears to her is one of my favorite scenes in the entire movie.
The camera work was okay, but given the time and budget I'll give that a pass. Made on a budget of 1.1 million there were cuts that had to be made. There are scenes with contrast and continuity errors, but not enough to be considered bad.
There wasn't a lot of music in this movie, but when there was it was great, sometimes simple is better.
Rocky is the original great boxing movie. Even with some camera problems, the story and experience eclipsed it. A must watch for any fan of film.
