Rocky IV continued in that same direction. But it's still very much a stretch to think a man could take the kind of beating that Rocky took from Clubber in the 2nd fight and come back from it. In the opening scene to Rocky III Paulie mentions this. Yes, I know we're supposed to understand that Rocky had some surgery done in between movies. In Rocky III, he stands toe-to-toe with Clubber Lang saying, "cmon, hit me. Mick didn't want to train Rocky in Rocky II for fear that he'd go blind. But Rocky III was a 180º change in overall tone and theme. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of all of the Rocky movies. More about love and inner strength and overcoming challenges. But really very little fighting, relatively speaking. She thought it was a typical "fighting" movie.

When I finally got my wife to watch Rocky with me, she was blown away at the end.

Just to give you an idea of age.īoth Rocky I and II were beautiful character driven movies. Saw Rocky II in the theaters with my dad. The music, the editing and the scenery of Philadelphia suburbs will make you feel down to earth and close to the story. You don't have to be a Rocky fan to appreciate it. I really recommend you to watch this movie, if you haven't seen it. At the same time, everyone around where he lives loves the guy. I love how Rocky doesn't care about how the world looks at him and he just goes on with his life, with his same old house and with his small restaurant. And, of course, the speech Rocky delivers to his son Robert (Milo Ventimiglia) is something beautiful and definitely inspiring.

The movie has a deep story about how Rocky ended after all those years and, of course, after Adrian's death.Ī scene in particular was Rocky feeling the pain, and sharing it with Paulie, of being alone and wanting to do something more. I cannot watch the movie without feeling sad and thinking about my life.

It's a great mixture of nostalgia and sentimentalism, with a solid performance by Sylvester Stallone. I liked "Creed" and it worked fine, but Rocky just helps Adonis to go
