Rocky (1976) :
Brief Review -
That one Inspiring sports drama which always leave you pumped up. Sylvester Stallone wrote an inspiring tale and powered it with his own solid acting and dedication to bring a cumulative result as one hard-hitting film that evokes all low dreams fellas. A small-time boxer gets a supremely rare chance to fight a heavy-weight champion in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect. At the end he reaches the distance but the hardwork he had done deserved a lot more actually. Rocky might be a predictable film but the climax is always like a pumping station to get your nerves. I would have expected a victory at the end but it isn't there or may be it there but needs different perspective to look at it. In 2 hours of runtime the last fight hardly takes 8-10 minutes and the rest period still doesn't fail to keep engagement and pace at all. Sylvester Stallone looks so cute i mean i expected a hard narrow minded rough fella but he looks innocent unexpectedly. The choice of actress too looks interesting as she had to look sober at the beginning and beautiful later. Talia Shire suits perfectly in that role. Rest of the cast is good too and doesn't look dull anywhere. John G. Avildsen begins the film on a slow note, gives it a push after the first half and then blows up the real fire at the climax. May be that smooth going factor is missing but anyways the content is rich enough to survive the loss. Overall, Rocky is worthy enough to carry all the legacy since 44 years and hopefully it will continue carrying it. Sylvester Stallone as Rocky will remain immortal.
RATING - 8/10*
