One of the best...

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2019)

..sports movies out there, but it was good enough to rank #3 of my top five in that category.
Like many of the reviews here say, Rocky is not a boxing movie, and I agree with that. I saw a movie about opportunity, about being an unknown becoming known. There were parts I did not care for, like Paulie incessantly breaking Adrian down. Not called for, but people said it the character's drinking problem that caused his rants and rages. Fine. Yet the movie itself makes you want to cheer for the underdog by being right there ringside. From start to finish, it's an awesome movie with an awesome score with awesome acting.
Packs a mean upper cut. Very excellent movie indeed.
