shirleynichols-59013 I am NOT a boxing person. I have never watched a Rocky movie. I honestly don't care about sports. I came for Ryan Coogler and I was not disappointed. This movie is gripping, the visuals are spectacular, and each performance is so committed. If you're a Rocky fan, like my dad who I saw this with, you will probably like it, but if you think you need to watch six movies before this one to get it, you don't!! It stands on its own and it's great.

henrique-78639 This movie got me so expired that I punched a wall and broke two fingers!

mnsmb7 Some of the best acting os Sylvester's life. Really a well done movie. I liked how it wasn't just natural talent that allowed Donnie to succeed but he needed the support of others and hardworking to achieve his goals. Great movie

ellimic It was undeniably a good film, the boxing stats that appeared with every new boxer on screen was a nice idea although it did become a bit too much of a fighter movie for my tastes. I think the idea of following Apollos son and getting an elderly Rocky to train him was good as it built on the friendship and loyalty between Rocky and Apollo, but I don't like what they've done to Rocky; a fighter and believer has suddenly turned into a cynical old man, not even bothered to fight his own illness (yes the death of Paulie and Adrian, his only family we ever saw, would have messed him up in the head but it seemed unlike the Rocky we knew) And the idea of an illegitimate son just besmirched the memory of a favourite character from four films, yes they needed a link to Apollo but couldn't they have found another way??The storyline was similar really to the original Rocky film, except instead of a nobody given a shot it was an up-and-comer. And it can be argued that Rocky almost took the role of Mickey.As I said it was a good film and I do hope they make sequel, but maybe lighten up on Rocky's character
