Totally Fabulous movie to watch that will definitely keep you entertained for all of the Viewing. 4K Audio/Video beyond five gold star Quality. Rocky [Blu-Ray] 1976

Classic movie. Just had to have it for when I was in the mood for nothing but watching Rocky Balboa, Butkus, Adrian, Apollo Creed and Mick. Timeless feel that never gets old. True definition of a classic movie. Yo Adrian! I did it!

Rocky, the perennial underdog classic, finally got the glory with this terrific DVD release from Sony/MGM. The PQ/AQ isn't great, as such since this was a film from 1976 which film stock was mostly cheap, grain stock and only epic films released in 70mm had 6channel audio, but for what its worth, the grain helps the film with the whole Philly street vibe Stallone and Avildsen strove for. The mono sound is good but the included 5.1 Dolby and DTS remasters aid with the boxing scenes and Bill Conti's classic score tremendously with good spacing and decent bass. The extras are also top notch with 4 commentaries, tons of documentaries and featurettes, 8mm boxing footage and more finally grace a well-deserved classic in need of care.

How Best Picture winners receive less than exemplary blu ray releases is beyond me. Yet, once again, the folks associated with MGM have seen fit to right any wrongs. Rocky is the perennial underdog story. The behind the scenes special features remind the viewer of how much heart and soul went into the creation of this classic. There are still a relative few who find fault in the new remaster but I don't see it. And at this price point for a catalog release, it begs addition to anyone's film library. "Get up you son of a ^%$#@ cause Mickey loves ya!"

I think mgm did a good transfer, but I think it could be better. Don’t get me wrong this is the best rocky has every looked, but since this movie is on the list of 100 greatest movies and highly influential I think mgm could have done better. The sound was pretty good. Hopefully soon a 4k version will come out and mgm does a excellent transfer. As for the movie. If you haven’t seen rocky, well you probably should see it. Very inspirational film about the underdog. Pretty much the truth about the Philadelphia sports teams and captures the feel for the people of the city.

Casual movie buffs and Rocky fans rejoice! If you haven't owned the movie or the entire Rocky Collection, this is yours to start. Now there were complaints of BluRay transfers for the film, but this recent 40th edition may appease consumers, providing rich 1:78 picture and excellent soundtrack from the violent punches in the ring to Bill Conti's iconic music. This copy comes included with a brief featurette of Creed and a UV Digital Copy for redemption.

The first of eight (and counting) Rocky movies - Rocky Balboa gets by on the streets of Philadelphia as a small time boxer and loan shark collector. Rocky gets the chance of a lifetime to face heavyweight champion Apollo Creed. The runs from his continued training, his trainer and his relationship with Adrian and THE fight.

What makes ‘Rocky’ such a resounding success is its heart, technical innovation and Stallone himself, who not only provides an Oscar nominated script but an Oscar nominated performance as endearing, down-and-out southpaw, Rocky Balboa. Filled with iconic and pop-culture defining moments, ‘Rocky’ is one of the greatest sports movies of all time.

The blue ray digital transfer for this release is so much cleaner than the blue ray copy of Rocky that was released prior. I bought last year the entire series on blue ray. The quality for the first two films were so bad that my old VHS tapes were considered better. This version is beautiful. PLUS the extra footage for the making of the film is a must for Sylvester Stallone fans, This is a must buy.

I loved Rocky when it first came out, I love it just as much today. I needed this for my collection. I love to reflect by watching movies of yesterday. This is a good movie to start with .... time passes and it's easy to forget what we saw years ago. It's still an awesome movie. Sylvester Stallone at his best.

Classic Movie! Purchased as a gift for my sister-in-law. She enjoys movies, since she doesn't have smart TV or streaming service. Glad that Bust Buy still carries DVD's.

I have loved the original Rocky for years. I've never owned it, and so when I got the chance to get it for less than $10.00, I jumped at it. The extras on this set are decent, and the movie is well done. The story is hard to beat as well. If you get the chance, grab it.

If you a fan of boxing, Philadelphia or just a great underdog story Rocky is the movie for you. I will not get into the whole story behind the movie as many probably already know it so i will just say the new transfer on this disc makes this title deserving of being in your collection.

this is the best love story of our time - rocky a super unknown coming up from nothin on the streets of philly. if youv'e ever taken a shot at doing something that you really believed in, whether you failed or succeeded, then this move is for you.

The first Rocky movie along with the last one (in my opinion) is the best of the Rocky series. Reminds me of a great first album by a new Band. Script, acting (maybe not the fight scenes as much) top rate. Go Stallone!!!

This is a classic movie! First of a wonderful series of 8 so far with Creed 2 being the latest installment! Rocky is such a cool character! One of the best in movie history! Have fun watching!

Based on a true story of a local fighter given the opportunity to fight the heavyweight champion of his time. The training actually performed by Sylvester Stallone was awesome. Carl Weathers portrayal of Apollo Creed was true to the character.

The best of all the Rocky films. Great story telling, we'll written and we'll acted and Sly Stallone's best performance. Most sequels were enjoyable but not as good except for Creed which is almost as good. The extras were well worth it.

This Stallone classic is a movie worth remembering in the history of sport/underdog stories. The acting, the cinematography, the action and soundtrack. "Yo, Adrian...we did it!" - Sylvester Stallone

How can you go wrong with Rocky, Written and starred in by Sylvester Stallone. A small time boxer from New York has a chance to fight the raining champ Apollo Creed. Every saying never had a change but goes the distance.
