Something new

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 13, 2006

Pros: Typical italian attitude

Cons: plot is quite simple but interesting to watch

although this movie was almost named after the great Rocky Marciano, during his time in his career was the only white boxer and undefeated, the movie Rocky portrayed a smalltime happy go lucky boxer played by Stallone, very natural acting by him, got... a shot at the most prestigeous boxing title, was only chosen by the Champion himself, just to make Rocky looks stupid in the ring as part of the spectacle set by the champion as part of the celebration. any way, one thing that got me is all the cast except Burgess Meredith are all new or unknown, they are all great, all natural. the boxing scenes are perfectly done, this is actually the most realistic boxing movie since Raging Bull by De Niro and I think the Academy has made the right choice to vote this one as the 1976 Best Picture.

ROCKY BALBOA

Pros: everything about this movie is great

Cons: none that I know of

Rocky is a classic story of an underdog boxer who gets a chance at the title. The best part about this movie is the training scene. The music is fits right with the movie, could not work for any other. They have made four other movies that continu...e with Rocky's life, and soon another will come out, they're all pretty good,but against the original, they are like pluto vs JUPITER. This movie is a classic, if you have not seen it, you are missing out on a great movie. I hope Rocky VI is not a bad movie, they will need to add some more character that makes it stand out from the others. Read more Less

Pros: Best movies of all time

Cons: Non

If you haven't seen any of the Rocky movies yet then what are you waiting for? The five best movies ever to be made. Nothing else can compare to stallone and his classic series of Rocky movies. I've seen each one at least a sixty times and ...they never get boring. I can't wait for Rocky VI. I don't care what anyone says, there is no such thing as a bad rocky movie. Read more Less

The Only Rocky Worth Seeing...

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 4, 2002

Rocky is an all-time classic that was tarnished by the four sequels. In the first one, Stallone brilliantly plays the Philly-based boxer (though I think Robert De Niro could've done well in the part, but I digress). Don't bother with the sequels, Roc...ky is the only one you need to see. Read more Less

The Italian Stalian Rocky Balboa........

The greatest boxing movie ever to have been made - Rocky. In top form, Rocky(Sly Stallone)a million to one shot gets a chance to fight the heavy weight champion of the world Apollo Cread. As a semi-professional boxer, Rocky feels he has nothing to l...ose.This film unravels the life of "Rocky Marciano," also an Italian boxer who became champion. Read more Less
