I was a bit underwhelmed by Rocky. It got better as the movie progressed, but the first half of the movie or so was really slow and had some really awkward and terrible dialogue. It had moments of greatness, particularly when Rocky was facing his feelings of inferiority, but those really come into play the second half of the movie. It was an okay movie, but not one I would consider great, even though it may be the greatest boxing movie.

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.

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.

I don't like Rocky, but I can respect it for what it is. One of the greatest sports movies of all time and introduced the montage as a way to shorten time passing in a film to American audiences.

Top badass moment? The “giant worm” joke is pretty funny. This film is about Rocky, a debt collector for Wonga, who goes around beating up dead cows and wearing horrible clothes. (The grubby grey tracksuit is especially disturbing.) Then by running up some steps he magically turns every montage made since 1976 into a terrible cliché and gets off with the beautiful Talia Shire, before a guy named after a space rocket punches him in the face lots of times. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.
