On paper, neither character may seem terribly appealing, but on the screen they steal your heart away, but completely...Not only did that last reel include some of the most wildly exciting fight footage ever put on the screen, but it also provided an emotionally gratifying capstone to a picture that is truly an ode to the human spirit.

A low-budget winner--a romantic fable about a Philadelphia palooka who gains his manhood, written by and starring muscle-bound Sylvester Stallone, who is repulsive one moment, noble the next. He's amazing to watch.
Rocky is an old-fashioned fairytale brilliantly revamped to chime in with the depressed mood of the '70s. Although its plot - nonentity gets to fight the heavyweight champ - is basically fantasy, the film deftly manages to suspend disbelief by drawing back at its more implausible moments.

A great movie? Hardly. Stallone as the next Brando? You've got to be kidding. A nice little fantasy picture? Maybe. That's the hype and reality of Rocky, the flatout schmaltzy saga of a Philadelphia club boxer who, on New Year's Day of our Bicentennial Year, gets a chance to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world. . . .

The best movie of all time in my opinion. Straight masterpiece. I have nothing more to say.

It's not a boxing movie, it's a love story with boxing as the backdrop. Rocky and Adrian for life

A cinematic classic. A great underdog story of a lower class boxer who wants to conquer a dream. One of my favorites, just perfect.

Rocky is an affecting and rousing classic. Classic montages and well shot boxing scenes, along with a beautiful and raw narrative combine for a excellent sports drama.

Rocky is one of the most motivational, if not the most motivational movie of all time.
