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.
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 >

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. >

Inspired by true events >

Rocky 1 and 2 are great films but particularly the first one. You see how broken he is as a man, he can hardly get by. He's not a good boxer, but he is not smart, and it's the only thing he knows. However, he is a good man. Then he gets a chance and all the people that were shitty to him are suddenly nice and supportive. But he's not a good boxer he's just gonna embarrass himself by getting the shit beat out of him in front of the whole civilized world. >

It’s a love story disguised as a boxing movie and it’s great. >

Or is it a rape story? >

I always thought he came on too strong and didn’t allow her to leave but who knows what happened after the scene ended. Maybe we can ask Sylvester Stallone since he wrote it. >

I don’t know if you know this, but it’s made up. He could say that Adrian was really an alien if he wanted to. Relax. >

What's more troubling is that you're having a hard time recognizing it as rape. >

What if he wrote that she gave enthusiastic consent right after the scene ended? You don’t know because the scene ends. >

ROCKY is a not a marvel movie. It is a story of human nature, how we all deal with the cards life has handed us and what if one day you get to vindicate all your loses. >

Someone showed their youngest kid Rocky without even having seen the movie and couldn't remember any of the other movies yet calls others "mentally challenged" >

Additional unpopular opinion: All the Rocky movies are boring >

wrong, a christmas movie with a sex robot where comunism gets fixed by a fist fight can't be boring. >

Rocky: an award winning, gritty, and deep film about the human spirit, overcoming adversity, and the power of finding a purpose in life.
Rocky 2-5000 or however many they made: super cheesy kid movies about a superhuman boxer that make zero sense and have nothing to do with the original film. >

I’m actually watching Rocky tonight. Because it’s a good movie. >

It was made to be shown in a large theater with many people where the slow build up and dramatic payoff is more impactful and satisfying than watching it on a smaller screen >

def an unpopular opinion. thos movies are great! 4 was ...eeehe adn although rocky 3 was great it was so weird to see stalon lose so much weight. 1st and second rocky are top tier >

The first Rocky is great! I could rewatch that film forever. There’s just a nice quality to it. The second one I think is better. 3 is overrated because of Eye of the Tiger. But is still great. 4 is just weird. 5 is trash. >

For me it's a classic.  Great story.  Probably the underdog story that all others are compared to.
Rocky 3 is the worst of the batch.  That scene of them running on the beach and hugging still cringes the crap out of me.  And Eye of the Tiger is the worst song.
Other than that... >

I just find it cringey. Rocky is a total creep the entire film, leave that poor woman alone. >

Rocky 2 is the boring one to me. Half of it is him trying and failing at odd jobs. >

I thought Rocky 1 was okay, but I know that by now pop cultural osmosis has pretty much spoiled the story for me, so by the time I saw it, I felt like I knew every beat coming. I actually like Rocky 2-4 and 6 waaaaay more, but I respect the first for its cultural impact. 
Fuck Rocky 5 though. >

All 80s movies look bad compared to todays films, especially unproven endevours (part 1 of any movie). Try watching rambo first blood, terminator 1 etc. No point coming on reddit to badmouth classics. >

Rocky came out in 1976. >

Last weekend I went on a rocky binge. only ever saw Creed 1 and I wanted to see the OG films because of the Jersey on the rocky statue Phillie has happen every year. 
Low and behold. I finished movie 1 and thought "how the ever living fuck am I gonna finish 8 of these"
It wasn't until I got to rocky 3 they started watching a lot better. Rocky spoke clearer (clearly had his intelligence elevate between 1-3) Paulie was Paulie and everything felt a lot more enjoyable to watch. Personally I really liked rocky 4 and 6 the most. 
Completely valid opinion, but it depends on which one were talking about. >

Lol “I only ever saw Creed 1”
If that’s your level of fine cinema, it’s clear you’re not going to like any proper filmmaking. 
The first film is not a Michael Bay action packed audience deafener and so it can’t be compared with the any of the sequels or spin-offs. >

What? I said I only ever saw Creed 1. I never said I liked it or thought it was some fucking masterpiece. It was one of the most forgettable and mid movies ever but I knew it was a continuations of the rocky movies. 
I love how you just assumed that and assumed I don't know "proper filmmaking" because I watched a bad movie. I watched the emoji movie. Is some of my favorite movies being Django Unchained Blakkklansman Marriage Story etc now invalid because of the emoji movie being on the list of shit I've seen? >

YES this is exactly what happened to me last year. I really liked Rocky when I was younger so I started a rewatch but the first one is such a drag and the characters seem stupid, some scenes are just ridiculous drama. Irealised I had never actually watched the first one. Couldn't get through it so still haven't gotten around to watching the sequels - which I'm almost certain I'll still enjoy. >

rocky 4 is the best one, watch that one and skip the rest. I've heard 3 is good too, I've never seen it >
