Roger Ebert
It's about heroism and realizing your potential, about taking your best shot and sticking by your girl. It sounds not only clichéd but corny -- and yet it's not, not a bit, because it really does work on those levels.

The Hollywood Reporter
Rocky is a picture that should make movie history. One thing is already certain... the movie has made Sylvester Stallone the hottest new star of 1976.

Reelviews Movie Reviews
Rocky is not a flawless motion picture, but it is a feel-good classic, and well worth another look.

That Film Guy
So successful was the film upon release that its sequels all built themselves on an almost identical story structure and its influence in other sports films like Warrior are clear for all to see.

IMDb
Instead of a fighting movie we should say that it is a movie about a fighter...a simple movie, with simple qualities but very large meaning intricately woven into the fabric of the film itself.
