a great and maybe overlooked film

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2010)

Rocky is one of the best movies of all time in my opinion. People may not agree due to it introducing Sylvester Stallone, but those who think that are wrong.
Sylvester Stallone writes and stars as a small time boxer called Rocky Balboa. Even though he has a tough physique he has an innocent heart. He tries to win the heart of the shy, local pet shop clerk Adrian played by Talia Shire and win the respect of his trainer Mickey played by Burgess Meredith. Then when the current heavyweight champion Apollo Creed played by Carl Weathers comes into town and wants to fight a unknown boxer. He chooses Rocky(simply because of his boxing name the Italian Stallian). Rocky decides to train and fight Creed. Even though people might not have expected this but Rocky received many academy award nominations including Sylvester Stallone being nominated as actor and writer. Talia Shire, Burgess Meredith and Burt Young(as Adrian's bitter brother Paulie)and it won best picture and best director for John Advilson. The movie has a lot of great things great story,great acting, great music ,great camera work of philadelphia, great story, GREAT EVERYTHING! Rocky is one of the all time feel good movies and I say this again one of the best movies of all time
