Still going strong after 30 years. What is the reason for his popularity? Surely you're not suggesting that the average American identifies himself (herself) with Rocky, are you?

I watched the movie and was the first Rocky I sat and watched all the way through (Before I was a kid and didn't care)

Great movie.... I believe it's his character and determination that attract people to the movies.

Didn't see the latest one.

The first movie was really great. Just wish they had put the ending from the second movie as the ending of the first.

Then they wouldn't have needed to make 5 more after that, it would've been perfect.

Never cared enough to watch them. No interest at all. Can anyone recommend why someone who knows nothing about this movie, would care to view it?

Well this one was really good... I wondered why they would bring him back after so long, and seemed cheesy, and they played on that very well to make the movie really good....

It was a well done movie for what it was..... Makes me want to watch the others.
