A Real Underdog Story

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 2019)

Rocky is a legendary film. Telling the story of Rocky Balboa, a small-time boxer who works as a debt collector, his life changes when Apollo Creed choses him to replace an injured opponent for a title match, he begins training for a match that people do not expect him to win.
This is one of the greatest movies of the 1970's. Starring Sylvester Stallone as Rocky himself, this film is a true underdog story, as it show Rocky going up against a champion who is a known name. Also, the story has some other memorable characters, from trainer Mickey, to Adrian and her brother Paulie, to the loan shark Mr. Gazzo, the characters are incredible, and the music is also good (especially Gonna Fly Now, the song that plays during Rocky's training, and would become the theme for the sequels). This is a great underdog movie that deserves to be watched.
