Rocky


A small time boxer gets a once in a lifetime chance to fight the heavyweight champ in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect

If you have not seen this movie then there is something wrong with you. This movie is something you should see once your born, like literally. I'm glad I grew up on MGM movies (best moments of my childhood). I'm actually inspired by this movie, after I watched it I wanted to watch it again. When the well known Rocky anthem starts playing my heart goes crazy inside and I just lose it. Sylvester Stallone does an exceptionally amazing job in this film, I'm glad he wrote it and cast himself as Rocky, I don't think anyone else could have played it as well as he did. The thing I love about this film is the relationship between him and his friend's sister (Talia Shire). His friend sets him up with his sister who stays home all the time and is as delicate as a feather. Their relationship is bloody heart-warming, probably the best romance I've seen in any film (although this film is about boxing). Seriously, when he tries to kiss her but she's too shy because she's never been kissed before and she's what... 25? the kiss in this film is sensational, you reaaaaally feel the tension! It's. Just. Amazing. (I could go on for days about their beautiful connection but I don't but to ruin it for you). I remember watching the fight near the end and couldn't help but mimic punching his opponent. Rocky is more than a film about boxing it's about romance, barriers, life challenges, dreams, aspirations & inspiration. Another reason I love this film is how similar Adrian and I are (shy, nervous and insecure) I love how I can relate to her, Rocky and her give me hope when I watch this film. In this film and the other films you see Adrian come out of her shell, she brings the best out of Rocky and Rocky brings the best out of her. Their relationship grows stronger each film, we see Rocky grow and embark on tougher journeys. Frankly the plot just get's better but I can honestly tell you THIS is the best Rocky film.

What audience would you recommend this to?
All ages

✯ and a half stars out of 5 *best kiss scene I've ever seen in a movie*
