Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2013)

When you direct a movie with passion.. when you act in a movie with passion.. when you feel the character's passion in every word he says... thats right... you are watching John G. Avildsen's and Sylvester Stallone's Rocky... The film revolves around a neighborhood bum and boxer Rocky who talks to two turtle and a fish in his stinking house... He fights and works for a rookie Gazzo and collects money for him... He goes to a pet shop where he loves a girl named Adrian irrespective of her geek looks and her age.. He goes there to crack a joke in front of her to make her laugh.. Nothing is working out in his life.. he lost his locker in his boxing club that he used for six years to a new boxer.. his neighborhood thinks he is a dumb guy.. He has one friend Paulie(Adrian's brother) who nags in front of Rocky to take him to Gazzo for a job... Things changed from the night Rocky takes Adrian out on a Thanksgiving date when world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed's contender got injured and there was nobody who could take the place within 5 weeks... Apollo got interested in Rocky by his boxing name that was The Italian Stallion... Rocky was selected as his opponent.. He got his manager and he devoted himself in training... his unique style of training included punching dead and raw meat in the meat house... Adrian was his shadow helping him in each and every step to rise to the podium... Before the night of the match Rocky says Adrian that he knows he will not be able to defeat Apollo as the match is fixed... But he wants to go to the distance and when the final bell rings he wants to stand there and raise his hand... After the 15th and the final round bell Rocky stands and calls out for Adrian which shows his passion for the game and his love.... Rocky is a once in a lifetime movie that you can watch over and over again... Sylvester Stallone shaped the character right from the first scene to the last... His shadow boxing while walking, his way of cracking jokes his love towards animals, everything blows your mind... Well in short even after 37 years of the Apollo Creed and Rocky match we see and we cheer Rocky's every moves....
