if you're over 50 and attempting to take up sport...

this is the film for you. How inspiring is Rocky running up those stairs? OK, so the story, dialogue and acting are in a class of their very own and you won't find anything as pish anywhere else in the world of mainstream cinema, but just surrender yourself to it - it's brilliant!- Was this review helpful to you?

About time I watched it!
By a customer , 16 Nov 2012I had never yet watched this movie although I had heard so much about it. It is a little hard to get into at the very beginning, but then it is so worth it! I loved it and can't wait to watch the sequel! On top of that I went to Philadelphia this year so I felt even closer to the movie. This is a must watch! Silvester is awesome in his character and very well built!- Was this review helpful to you?

Good, if you had one too many punches to the face
By bfreeman0 (7 reviews) from Biggleswade , 23 Apr 2012Meant to be one awesome film. Didn't understand a word Rocky was saying. The character was annoying self-centred and not likeable.
Didn't watch it all the way throug.- Was this review helpful to you?

Does the classic still hold up today?
By ed_nights (43 reviews) from London , 25 Sep 2011Here’s a question: Does Rocky still stand up today after modern boxing epics?
No.
Sure, this is the film that set up the, now well-worn out, tropes of the genre. Big guy, big heart; shy girlfriend; everybody’s local hero turned champ; uplifting plot concerning the triumph of the poor man. It’s just that modern boxing films have been so much more inventive.
The film hinges on its central protagonist. Where recent efforts have delivered compelling portraits of intriguing characters, Rocky centres on a sack of meat with less personality than the pigs hanging in the factory; a character whose perpetual sniffing is only emphasised by a voice full of flu. Someone please get this man a Strepsil.
For all its macho posturing, the empty-headed narrative is just plain sleep-inducing. Or maybe I just fail to see the romance in two bruised and battered men punching each other to near death?- Was this review helpful to you?
