The original - and still best - underdog sports movie. It understands that the sport and its outcome are secondary to the characters and their relationships, something most of its imitators (and some of its sequels) forget. An indispensable piece of Americana, and one of the greatest films of all time.

It is so easy to dismiss it because of what the franchise, and Stallone, became (Rocky fights communism, and WINS!), but this is GREAT '70s American filmmaking. You could never make a mainstream American movie with characters like Adrian or Paulie nowadays, although that won't stop them. I can't wait for the remake where they throw a pair of glasses and a baggy sweater on Cameron Diaz. Oh, and lastly...best score ever? Bill Conti, I doff my cap to you, sir. It remains my only 100 score on here.

Take you back, do do doo dooo.. to a time when the studios gave audiences far more credit: Rock doesn't have to have a climactic scene where he verbalizes that all he needs is to believe in himself; Mick's motivation for training Rock can be self-serving w/out us disliking him; a loanshark can be a bad guy AND funny; Paulie can be alcoholic, abusive AND funny AND the hero's friend! Back then, an audience was expected to understand that even though Rocky loses, he wins and its better that way!

Great movie with Stallone in one of his best performances. The dialog is realistic and the characters are fleshed out making for an engrossing picture about the underdog. While I'll have to be honest and say that the movie does require a while to get started once it does it's an inspiring and well worthwhile experience.

Holy shit. What a movie. Took me years to get here. Rocky IV, a million parodies and homages, and Stallone himself today as self-parody had me sure there wasn't too much here. Well, I'm eating my words. The quintessential underdog and sports film. Pure heart in the best way possible wrapped up in '70s cool. They don't make them like this no more.

The most underdoggy of all underdog stories? I like how there's very little macho bullshit going on and Rocky is a rather vulnerable simpleton. Also, shameful admission time: I always thought Adrian was the name of the trainer and not the love interest. It's a little weird how the whole thing ends quite sudde

Raw eggs, raw beef, raw emotions, all America. Has the charm of authenticity, it's more like a slice-of-life movie than a sports feature. Sly basically invented mumblecore here. Poor Philadelphia appears to be in steep decline at the time, as it only takes a year to go from this to 'Eraserhead'.

It's about boxing, but this isn't just a sports movie...it's about the complexity of relationships, of not accepting what life has dished out at you, of overcoming obstacles and never giving up despite the odds. This movie took a lot of grief for its Best Picture win but screw the critics.

Who could begrudge Stallone taking himself from average Joe to showbiz king by casting himself as an average Joe against an opponent who represents showbiz kings? A slow buildup unpunctuated by "action", moderately complex characters, humour that springs from the situations, trust that audiences can understand that losing can be winning, and charm: viewing this formula movie for the first time 40 years thence, one cannot but be struck by the degradation of the formula in the intervening decades.

Stallone mumbles his way to the finish line in this overrated underdog sport film. The bits featuring Rocky and Adrian were well-written, the rest is pretty bland and boring. Stallone going from "The Party at Kitty and Stud's" to this is IMO more inspirational than the film itself.

While not my personal favorite boxing movie, it probably is in all honesty is THE boxing movie. All memes and later jokes about the movie aside, it's very original and the score, directing, writing, and acting are all exceptional. Really is one of the better Stallone performances as well. It was probably great for it's time, and it still holds up as the best in the series (from what I have seen that is).

I never knew, but Rocky is a characterstudy, and a good one too. It’s bold to create a movie and personage around mild intellectual disability and I say that without irony, it’s really the subject, like Richard Jewell, and I can’t name a third movie with the same telling power (Forest Gump, for example, is a weak fairytale compared to Rocky).

If you view it while ignoring the fact that it later became a franchise, it is one of the most authentic movies I have ever seen. Stallone has written this story from the depths of his heart and it shows in the every aspect of the movie; it is more like a no holds barred reality show. I particularly liked the near tangible vulnerability of Adrian. The fighting scenes are unreal also, some punches felt like they hit you on the screen.

It's difficult to accept this film on its own terms after it helped cement the trend of pointless sequels, but Rocky could have easily been a product of New Hollywood, an embodiment of the great failure of the American dream. This story of a working class 'hero' that gets a big chance to rise above his station in life is affirmative rather than critical, but the film delivers an emotional wallop that nonetheless feels hard won, despite its transparently manipulative nature.

A pioneer in sports movies, and it certainly deserves recognition for that. Like many hugely iconic movies, it benefits immensely from its awesome theme song/score. At the end of the day, though, it suffers from being pretty boring throughout most of its run time.

A very, very well done picture from the school of realism. Unlike the sequels, which place an increasing emphasis on the plot and outcome, the original Rocky is a pitch perfect character movie that builds on, and helped to define, many of the more pervasive cliches of the sports movie drama; however, here it's done with such conviction and heartfelt passion that none of it ever feels forced. All in all, a damn fine movie.

Rocky is no doubt the most blood-pumping, gut-wretching, inspiring, engrossing and charismatic character in the film business. Ever. He is among one of the leading heroes of modern society even today after 32 years. This is the ultimate underdog sports flick, and it's made in some many qualities with a deep passion. Just extremely well-done.

Not a fan of sports movies and I'm not a fan of this. I hadn't expected it to be good, but I at least expected it to be decent because it basically launched Stallone's career and became an international hit spawning far too many big budget sequels. As a word of advice, if you haven't watched it because you don't know if it's going to be any good, like myself, then don't waste your time.

200th anniversary of the American Republic witnesses a fight between democrats (Apollo) and Republicans (Rocky), where the former stands for the "creed" in Apollo (moon), progress, racial equality, elitism, and the latter for community, white pride, working class. The interesting thing is Rocky competes against Apollo not only as a fighter of the people, but also as an entertainer, struggling to "advertise" himself and his cause. Brilliant political commentary behind the superficiality.

Rocky isn't a bad movie, it's just not a very good movie. It's got selfish characters centred around the mostly endearing title character, slowly paced with transparent direction. To be fair, it held most of my interest, but I never felt inspired or passionate about anything that was happening on screen. The most effective part of the film is the final match, but even that is cut off just as it finishes like the story is tired of itself. I was hoping to get my blood pumping, but Rocky flatlines.

Yes this is a classic film, perhaps even a cult classic and yes there are undeniably some cliches present but I found myself rooting for Rocky and I liked seeing his relationship with the introverted Adrian develop. There's the famous scenes of him pounding the streets in the early morning, practicing day after day in the build up to the match. I could see how this could be viewed as a 'living the American dream' type watch, or perhaps moreso an 'underdog' tale. Its quite a solid watch.

There's something both uplifting and brain damaging about this film, which is appropriate since it's about boxing. The uplifting part is all contained in the underdog story, a loser, a has-been, a once was rising up and defeating a greater foe. Heart warming stuff. The brain damaging part is listening to Stallone for extended periods of time use his patented Rocky-attempts-to-communicate-language and the idea that success and glory can be reached by punching some guy and getting the girl.

It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

A great character study: Rocky is a quiet, soft soul (his refusal to let Adrian leave is cringey though) prone to passionate, long-winded rants (his one to Marie misses the mark, but see his rambling rejection of Mickey before the quiet jog out afterwards); he punches cow carcasses to train for boxing bouts before heading to the pet store to buy food for his turtles. He doesn't care about fame or money or victory, he just wants to "go the distance" and find his love (see the excellent ending).

It's interesting, when viewing a work that has codified a popular formula, to note what *isn't* present in the lesser copies--in Rocky's case, the genuine (and transparently autobiographical) pall of hopelessness, injustice and destitution that hangs over every character for the vast majority of the film's runtime and makes the melodramatic ending feel earned.

Rocky is one of the few "essential" movies I've never seen before and given the hype I was actually a bit disappointed. Stallone provides a great introspective script and a (deservingly so) academy award-nominated performance. Yet I feel that the movie only goes that far, and even though it's tied up fantastically in the end, it's just not as self-reflecting as it wants to be. What Rocky is, is a very high-class popcorn movie, driven solely by Stallones perormance, but not much more.

Stallone is a fantastic actor when people give him half of a chance. Rocky is a rare movie where Stallone's talents really come through with minimal studio intervention.

it's the Good Will Hunting syndrome (maybe vice versa). people hate the fact that someone they don't really respect can make something this beautiful. which is also the plot of (and the story of the making of) this movie. I will always respect Stallone for this

Honestly kind of a tough movie to rate. As far as New Hollywood character studies go, it’s sort of poor, especially the depiction of Adrian as a nerdy waif and the idea that ruining the Thanksgiving dinner she cooks so she can date Rocky totally owns. But as a sports movie? Yeah, I get it, it’s evocative and the climax is pretty frickin excellent. I still sorta can’t believe this won Best Picture tho

One of a few sports movies that I actually give a shit about. The sequels all blow ass, but the original is still a decent film.

A solid debut for Stallone, with a well-earned reputation as a top sports film.

It's a cliche, it's corny and the acting is mediocre but I couldn't care less. It's a cinderella story with a macho attitude, and it works. A modern classic.

A movie that is mentioned when talking about sports movies and the movie that really defines the career of Sylvester Stallone. One of the great underdog movies that has an excellent story and I know I found myself easily rooting for Rocky as the fight went on. Awesome and unforgettable movie.

A classic, the original Rocky is still the best. Stallone plays his endearing character well, and the gritty ‘70s style draws you in to the story. Definitely has flaws – the final fight teeters on the ridiculous at times – but the fantastic score papers over many cracks throughout. A more humble achievement from our hero in the climax keeps things somewhat grounded in reality too.

Best of the Rocky movies. I don't like Stallone but this role is custom made for him. He is Rocky.
