Rise of Sylvester'Rocky Balboa' Stallone

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2020)

Rocky is a sports drama movie directed by John G. Avildsen and stars Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers and Burgess Meredith in the leads.
The movie is undoubtedly one of the most inspiring movie in terms of both reel and real life as it sets up successful stage for both fictional 'Rocky Balboa' and real Sylvester Stallone.
The movie is also one of the greatest sports movie ever made.
Screenplay of the movie is good, direction and music is great. Acting is good. Sylvester is great in an underdog southpaw amateur boxer. Talia Shire also justifies her role of a shy woman. Rest of the characters are also good.
The only little drawback of the movie is that the movie focuses more on the love story and less on boxing training.
Overall an excellent inspirational movie to watch.
