Rocky

Year: 1976

Grade: A-

Country: USA

Director: Avildsen

Review

possibly the best of the series, but i recall liking #2 more. there’s plenty to the film should you choose to look…pauly’s character gained even greater depth with this viewing. adrian is also a tough nut to crack. no one in the film is as simple as you might like to make them out to be. rocky isn’t just a big dumb fighter, adrian isn’t just a submissive anti-social pet store clerk, and pauly isn’t just some drunk butcher. they all have backstories and facets that make the film worthy of the academy award nomination. that said, i’d place taxi driver, and probably network, above this one if i were voting for best picture of 1976.
