10/10

The story of a man who fights for himself and his self respect.

Sylvester Stallone embodied Rocky with heart and soul, making him one of the most brilliant movie characters ever. The whole cast is great, the characters are interesting and layered, and the music is simply brilliant.

Rocky is basically a drama, and the characters are human and realistic, we can identify with them and relive their emotions with them. This is exactly the power of this film, and what is especially impressive are the small subtle details, some of which are improvised and maybe that is why they turned out to be so impressive.

The supporting characters are fascinating, especially Paulie, who was brilliantly portrayed by Burt Young. Talia Shire, Carl Weathers and Burgess Meredith are impressive in their roles, they are convincing and make the film absolutely great.

Rarely can we see a complete film like this with mesmerizing characters that enchant us every time we see them on screen.

There are no villains here, just a tale about the human spirit and his ability to overcome all odds.

A truly uplifting and powerful film.
