Rocky

Absolute cinema! I absolutely loved this. Rocky is such an insanely likeable character. I don’t even know why the way he talks is so funny to me, but it just makes him even more charming. I was completely with him from beginning to end. The story is just beautiful. The script is great, the dialogue is great, and I loved his relationship with Adrian. Even the ice rink scene, which is basically just two awkward people talking, was such a good scene. And I loved seeing Adrian slowly change too and become more confident throughout the movie. Stallone was incredible, the movie looks beautiful, and some of the shots during the training sequences were amazing. And obviously the soundtrack is legendary. Once that music starts during the training, it just completely carries you into the movie. My only real problem was the final fight. Not because of the story or what the fight means, but some of the punches looked so obviously fake that it took me out of the movie a little. I think the choreography could’ve been better. But besides that, this was exceptional. It completely transported me from beginning to end. I’m so glad I finally watched it.
