Customer Ratings & Reviews

Classic movie and cannot beat the price of $5.00 everytime.

One of my favorite movies. I can watch this over and over.

I like the Rocky series and Stallone is a real good actor

I really enjoyed this movie. Very inspirational movie.

This was a really good movie at a great price. Love it!!

A classic. It is a movie that my family really enjoyed.

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.

A must see film, such a great story to see get made and to see a man keep fighting and grow as a human being

A little bit of nostalgia - I had actually forgotten the whole story. Definitely worth seeing again

A great classic and one of Stallone's best drama performances. Worth checking out.

Classic Stallone and one that every video collection should not be without"

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!"

Classic hero movie that doesn't ever get old to watch

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
