"Yo Adrian "

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2015)

Rocky, the best picture winner of 1976, is a film about courage and trying hard to achieve your dreams. In Sylvester Stallones script, a Boxer, who "running out of steam", gets a shot to fight the champion, Apollo Creed. Then the fight of the century is on- Apollo Creed VS The Italion Stallion. Rocky trains very hard psychically and mentally for the fight. What makes the movie all the better is the use of Steadicam in the fight scenes. Beautiful Cinematography and an inspiring score make for the greatest boxing film of all time. Sylvester Stallone is brilliant as rocky(maybe his only brilliant performance of his life), and the supporting cast are excellent, and act out their characters truly and superbly.
Some may say Taxi Driver should have won best picture 1976. I love Taxi Driver, but Rocky is the better all round film, which will appeal to most people. I know the sequels are rubbish, but that doesn't change the original. Hey Jaws is one of my favourite films, but the sequels are some of the worst movies I've seen!
Overall Rocky is a great film for Children 11+. Rocky is One of the most inspiring stories of all time.
