Yo Adrian - this movie should be more about boxing

Rating: 6/10 (28 July 2019)

Pretty much everyone considers rocky a classic, with the penultimate scene as he runs up the steps in Philadelphia and proclaims dominance over the city in his quest to be the next champ. However, I wasn't all that impressed with the majority of the movie. The storyline is pretty simple, but spends way too much time on boring side stories and secondary characters. The scenes with Adrian's brother are boring and unnecessary, and he's crazy. The first half of the movie is rocky trying to hook up with Adrian, then about 2/3 in he actually focuses on boxing. Could have done without a lot of the beginning scenes.
