If you think it's actually about boxing then yeah it's probably pretty boring. >

Rocky 4 is the goat. Fuckin’ Russians. >

Counter point, the original Rocky was a critically acclaimed story of a man stuck in life trying to chase his dreams with boxing as a backdrop. The sequels are boring predictable action movie porns. >

The tone shift between 1 and 2 is hilarious in back to back viewings. >

You could say the same thing about Rambo >

Go back and re-watch the scene where Rocky's coach comes to ask to be his trainer. You will understand why this is a really great movie. >

Rocky is my fav film of all time, a true classic, the OG underdog story and i love the franchise as a whole (even Rocky 5, sue me). Its not about the boxing, its a about the character his internal struggle and that universal dream of rising up against incredible odds. Stood the test of time and it will be remembered forever. 
Tho if you didnt like it thats cool, it maybe a little slow paced (specially for modern audiences) and it takes a while for the plot to actually start. Creed is basicaly a modern reteling and maybe you ll like that one.Art its subjective and thats ok. >

Agreed. I love all the Rocky movies and both of the Creed movies. >

1st Rocky movie is an Oscar winning triumph. I think you are mixing someone being mentally challenged with being socially challenged >

I mean, this is definitely an unpopular opinion. This is the best work Stallone has ever done and he wrote the fucking thing too.
