Rocky Balboa is een tweederangs bokser uit Philadelphia. Hij is een mislukking: hij woont in een afgedankt appartement en als bijbaantje is hij een inner van schulden. Ook probeert hij indruk te maken op de ietwat verlegen Adrian, zijn grote liefde.
- CravanThePugilist13 april 2026I totally didn't expect to like this, even after watching Creed, which is what made me give this a chance... holy shit. One of my favourite movies of all time. The sequels definitely get more & more 'meh' & corny as they go on (until the next-gen revival, 30 years later!) but this holds up infinitely. I still think of the ending all the time. Super emotional, super well-written. Also it gave us the South Park spoof with Randy training to beat THE BAD DAD. Which might be my favourite moment in SP history.
- Elliot04717 februari 2026This is an Idealistic film. Protoganist has larger than life role. I can see this film working back in the 70's, but I'm coming from the age of people who have seen films like 'The Smashing Machine and Million Dollar Baby', and for that audience, this might not be impactful or may look like a formula-based film at least structurally. However, I realise the commercialisation of this film in several Parts, building its own universe and fan base, inspiring a generation of people and filmmakers combined. This is a blockbuster, no doubt. Is this artistically creative? I don't know.
- CoffeeJesus66619 december 2025There are few movies made as well as the original Rocky. I recommend it to anyone and truly think of it as top cinema. Stallone is perfect and the star of the movie is Phillidelpha PA. It is the under cover love story you didn't know you were watching... I won't get into detail. There's no reason why you haven't seen this movie yet ... In fact there's no reason why you're not watching this movie right now!
