I finally saw Rocky for the first time

I never actually watched Rocky before, even though I've heard good things about it. I like Stallone in other movies so I decided to finally sit down and see the film.

I really liked it. I was surprised how much heart it had. The boxing scenes and training were cool, but I really enjoyed the characters and how it focused on Rocky's life, feelings and ambitions. I am looking forward to watching the rest now.

Do you have a personal favorite out of all the Rocky movies?

Rocky IV is my fave, its silly but very quotable.

Rocky is by far the best of the series. It won 3 out of the 9 Oscars it was nominated for. Back when Oscars actually meant something.

IV is my favorite sequel.

Rocky 3 is my favorite.

R1 is the best movie and the only one deserving of award.
R3 is my favorite.

Rocky 2 is almost as good, a little less heart, but better fight scenes.

Have you ever swallowed a raw egg whole? I thought I was so cool when I could do it. I only did it a few times. Lucky I didn't get salmonella....

I basically can't stand Stallone. He's a mumbling smirking goof ball. That said, I thought Rocky was great, very original, and a real tour de force for him as an unknown. Cop Land was good too. I can't think of anything else that works for me.

I've also heard he is a real jerk, which doesn't surprise me in the slightest. If you work for him and have the audacity to make eye contact, you're subject to be fired.

I love Stallone's and Lundgren's work. I hate them as human beings though. You really can learn a lot about people from what they post online.
