Just watched this...wow.

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2013)

I know it's a bit crazy I am JUST now watching this. I was born 7 years after the film was made, but, I do enjoy watching films that the general public have pegged "classics", not matter when they were released. I've heard about this movie for years, but never got around to watching it. To be honest, a lot of films that were made decades ago, sometimes lose their appeal a bit on me. I think its because movies were filmed a bit different back then, in other words, film making has evolved...its changed. Not that I don't appreciate or respect them or understand their appeal to audiences back then.
With all that said, Rocky didn't make me feel that way...at all. The build up was good, you felt like you really understood who Rocky was, what he was about. The first contact with him and Adrian was special...perfect. When he ran after his manager after losing it in his apartment...touching.
I could go on and on. Really good film...cant wait to watch the others.
