Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2019)

When people think about sports movies Rocky usually the movie that first comes up in the discussion and rightly so because Rocky is the greatest sports film of all time it has a timeless message and it's a story about how you don't need to win or lose it's about in Rocky's case going the distance against Apollo Creed the heavyweight champion of the world and rocky will do what ot takes to go the distance against Apollo.
The Cast includes Sylvester Stallone {Rocky Ballboa} Talia Shire {Adrian} Burt Young {Paulie} Carl Weathers {Apollo Creed} and Burgess Meredith {Mickey} I can't think of a better cast for this movie Rocky and Adrian's relationship feels so natural and they have some great on screen chemistry and another great relationship is the father/trainer bond between Rocky and Mickey they have some great moments and it shows how Rocky's hardwork and determinaton pay off in the end.
Bill Conti deserves a mention as well for doing the iconic score and theme for the movie and let's face it it is probably the most iconic score of all time because you instantly know that it's Rocky and also the going the distance track is also very good and something that i can listen to casually and still enjoy listening to.
Rocky is iconic it's such a amazing story of a boxer from Philadelphia who is down on his luck but he gets the shot of a lifetime and Rock doesn't want to win and he doesn't care if he loses either it's about going the distance and at the end of the day that's a great message you don'r always need to win and Rock teaches that if you put in effort and you are willing to give it you're all then you are a winner no matter what and that is why Rocky is so great and one of the best sports movies of all time.
