Well, what can I say...?

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2003)

First of all, Rocky-series is (as well as 007) my favourite movie series of all time. I like every single movie of them even though the other films from II to V have been somewhat smashed by the critics and audience, except the die hard Rocky-fans.
The main thing which makes this movie so great is the atmosphere it has. The ragged neighbourhood of Philadelphia alongside with the most brilliant soundtrack there is (every single song is just fabulous, I can't say anymore) creates such a great mood through the whole movie. But only the atmosphere doesn't turn a movie into a great movie. You need a script. The script of Rocky isn't revolutionary, but it sure is good enough, and the unusual romance between Rocky and Adrian adds a great flavor to the movie. All the actors/actresses are also doing a great job. A great, great movie. I think I should watch it again...
