Looks good, but could be better
|Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.I would recommend this to a friendI 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 Original!
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.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.

Not the same cover as advertised
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendGreat, classic film. My favorite of the Rocky series, yet disappointed Best Buy displays a Blu-ray cover which is not at all accurate, which is the main reason I purchased it.
