Full review
Rocky is a guy with little experiance except the streets of New York. He wishes to join an elite of boxes who get big salaries. There are many obstacles in his way and many intimidations to reach his goal. He is the apitamy of the tough guy with the soft exterior when it comes to Adrian , his girlfriend. The sensitive side is given an small glimpse. Toughness to succeed is a minor detail. His toughness has to grow yet other thick layers of skin in order to survive. Being an unknown and broke on the boxing circuit is the same as everybody else. What you do to get out of it is another manner. He has supporters and his coach is from the old school. To get the goal makes a gripping movie.

Stallone comes out swinging with heart humor and unforgettable power. Rocky is a Philadelphia club fighter who seems to be going nowhere. But as fate would have it...
