August 27, 2009I liked Rocky. Its not really a boxing film though, its a film about one mans self realisation. Its also a love story. A story of morals, overcoming subversity, a tale of the human condition if you will. Its not really about boxing at all! A film of its time, a time I'm very fond...( read more)

October 14, 2008"His whole life was a million-to-one shot."
Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), a Philadelphia boxer, is but one step removed from total bum-hood. A once-promising pugilist, Rocky is now taking nickel-and-dime bouts and running strong arm errands for local loan sharks to s...( read more) -

August 23, 2009My review on this is suppost to be rubbish.However,this film was good just the story wasn't enough for me to give it 5 stars it got 3.5 stars from me.
I didn't think the story was great throughout it was good it had a story but I thought the begining and ending was too slow for my liking as it goes this was good very good infact just it was not a masterpiece like others are saying it doesn't get 5 stars from me. -

Rocky es una serie d peliculas bastante interesantes...en ellas lo tiene de todo(amor, suspenso, drama, accion)pero lo q es mejor es q es una pelicula de la cual nunca t cansas de verla.Nunca olviden q la trama tiene algo de cierto:
Rocky es lo mejor -
September 1, 2008This is my favorite movie of all time. As soon as I watched this movie I not only watched all the Rocky movies including the 6th one,I rented Judge Dred,Cop Land,and on t.v. I watched a little bit of Rambo:First Blood. I hope to continue watching more of Sly's movies. He's a great and phonomenal actor,and I have to thank the movie Rocky for my obsession with Sly. If you haven't seen this movie yet you should you won't regret it. Don't listen to the Rocky haters. If you like this movie go to my profile and take my,"From Which Rocky","Rocky(1976)",and my "Rocky Music 1-5".

February 25, 2008I'm currently OBSESSED with the Rocky movies! lol. Anyways, i have to say that this movie is simply amazing! I'm the kind of person that NEVER watchs spots on TV ( other than skating and swimming sometimes ), and doesn't play them/sucks at them & i love this movie. Ahh... i remember seeing Rocky for the 1st time like it was yesterday... My mom is a huge fan of all the Rocky movies & whenever they were on TV, i would always remember seeing he watch them . (But i didn't). When the 6th movie came out in 2006, my mom obviously wanted to see it. So she was going and she asked if i wanted to come with. OMG, i think that i was like soo close to not going! I honestly wouldn't know what i missed out on!!! So i saw the movie, and i enjoyed it!! At the time, i didn't think that it was all too great, but i was so surprised! I don't like boxing at ALL and i enjoyed this movie! I saw the 6th before any of the other 5 (lol, weird huh? I still haven't seen the 4rth fully and the 5.) , so i kinda didn't understand some things. But i understood the idea.
Ok, well i'm going to get to the point now.
I recomend this movie to not only people who enjoy boxing. I'm sure that there are people that watch these movies mainly because of the boxing, but there is more to the story!! There is more to the boxing part of. So, even if you couldn't care less about boxing, (like i do, lol.) i still think you should watch this movie! There is good music, good acting, and quite a few parts that made me laugh!
Haha, i'm sure anyone that is reading this right now is thinking that i'm rambeling on and on and on about this movie & that i have like a million spelling errors. But what can i say?! I LOVE it & i can't spell for my life!
Pretty much i'm trying to say...
GO SEE ROCKY! YOU WONT REGRET IT! -
