Just edges the first round

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2019)

Despite losing to the world champion Apollo Creed, boxer Rocky Balboa earns the respect of people from his field. An embarrassed Creed over not being able to defeat Rocky easily demands a rematch.
A touch more family drama and sentiment than the first film and when Adrian (Talia Shire) tells Rocky to win giving her blessing, your hairs stand on end as the excitement is ready to start. The climax to the fight leaving you breathless. Fantastic.
