Even if Stallone mumbles his way through every line, you can't fault this as it is one of the most inspirational films of all time. Everything for the plot to the score leads to that triumphant moment you know is going to come. |

A classic. Stallone is such a crappy actor but he is so perfect for Rocky and Rambo! Rocky IV is the best of the series, but how can you not love them all even if you don't like the acting. After all, the series gave birth to the Montage. |

While very under rated and under performing, "Rocky" is probably the best sports movie of all time. A movie that has inspired video games, sequels and a lot of jokes, "Rocky" is still not quite all it is cracked up to be. Still, it is good. |

Rocky is truly a classic inspiration sports movie and probably the best. Stallone is great in the role, probably since he wrote the character and the movie seems very authentic despite all the over the top music etc. A good movie to watch if you feeling a bit down. |

When you think of "Rocky", you probably think of that soaring music, the film's many sequels, and possibly Sylvester Stallone drinking raw eggs. While all of those things are certainly a part of the "Rocky" experience, the film has so much more to offer. Stallone wrote the screenplay about Rocky Balboa, a southpaw club fighter who makes his money as an enforcer for a Philadelphia loan shark despite his intrinsically sweet nature. Indeed, it is Rocky's sweet nature that leads him to see the beauty in Adrian, the shy girl that he visits at the pet shop every day. As Rocky helps Adrian to come out of her shell, he finds himself randomly chosen to go toe-to-toe with the heavyweight champ, Apollo Creed. Rocky" isn't just about boxing but about people daring to dream of something better for the... |

Never mind the fact that it was the top grossing film of 1976, and won a whole slew of industry awards, including the highly coveted Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director. Perhaps it is the eventual deterioration of Sylvester Stallone's career (I still sympathize with the mental anguish that anyone who saw 1995's JUDGE DREAD in it's entirety suffered), or maybe it's the endless series of glitzy sequels and imitations that the film inspired (which did become numbing), but, for whatever reason, the reputation of this film seemed to get permanently soiled along the way. This is a shame, because ROCKY remains possibly the best underdog romance ever.
After years of glossy sequels, it's a bit amazing in retrospect how grim and downtrodden much of the film feels. There is a moving... |
