Sly Stallone in his only Oscar-winning movie ever!!!

Rating: Null/10 (8 January 2000)

Sylvester Stallone makes his breakthrough performance as the underdog Italian boxer Rocky Balboa in "Rocky." This flick inspired all underdog movies, and thanks to Sly's rugged performance, that's what makes this film go 'round! Along with his meek wife Adrian (Talia Shire), and his gruff-but-trusting coach Mickey (Burgess "The Penguin" Meredith), Rocky prepares for the big fight against the macho up-start Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers).
Though I didn't like the ending that much and the film seemed a bit overlong, "Rocky" is an all-time winner because of the heart and soul this flick delivers. All the main stars of this movie do great, and it paved the road of fame for good 'ol Sly himself. YO ADDRIIIIANNNNNN!!! I DID ITTTTT!
