Movie Reviews of Rocky Anthology
Movie Review: Great Entertainment that stands as a Rock!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Rocky Anthology, follows the story of an oldfashioned American hero.
Many people think that the Rocky movies are all about boxing, but they aren't just about that. They follow the life of a normal human being, called Rocky Balboa who strugles with life. You see him find romance, you see him struggeling to fit in society, you'll see him trying to find work, and to find luck. All five Rocky films are a great continuation of each other. Where the last movie ended, the next takes of, sometimes just minutes after the last one's ending, which is fantastic!
Rocky
5 out of 5 stars
The beginning of the story. It remains the strongest in the series, and won an oscar back in 1977 for best film. It has great drama, fantastic fights, and a perfect story, written by Sylvester Stallone himself. With great acting from Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers and Burgess Meredith this movie is defenitly worthwhile.
Rocky II
4 out of 5 stars
This one is made in the same style as "Rocky" and is almost as strong. This time, besides written, also directed by Sylvester Stallone himself. The story continues with Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) wanting a rematch of Rocky. But Rocky has just said the boxing goodbye. But still his heart says something else...
This movie also deals with Rocky's fame and how he handles his money. Great chapter in the Rocky Anthology, with the entire cast of part one returning.
Rocky III
4 out of 5 stars
This chapter changed the Rocky series. Next to the great music score of Bill Conti, there is also a popsong called "Eye of the Tiger" mixed in the film, which gives the movie a different feel than the other previous two. Also, Rocky is now famous and rich. He doesn't live the hard life anymore, but the easy life, which also gives a different feel than "Rocky" and "Rocky II"
Still, the action, the romance and the feel is great. With a new enemy played by the famous Mr. T, this Rocky chapter is simply entertaining fun! Just like II, directed and written by Sylvester Stallone.
Rocky IV
4 out of 5 stars
Being the weakest link in the Rocky Anthology, "Rocky IV" is still watchable and very entertaining. In this chapter Rocky has to battle a Russian called Ivan Drago, aka Death from above (the movie will explain that name) Rocky travels to Russia to fight this man, putting everything he has on the line.
The music was not composed by Bill Conti this time, but by Vince DiCola, which gives a less dramatic, but still a fun score to the film. There are more popsongs in the movie now than ever before. But the scene where Rocky thinks about his life while the song "There is no easy way out" is played is a very strong moment in the Rocky Anthology. Also, the fightscenes are maqnificent!
Again directed and written by Sylvester Stallone.
Rocky V
4 out of 5 stars
Rocky, now stopped with fighting, becomes a manager of a new hotshot in the boxing world. This movie is entertaining, just like the rest. It's a great continuation of the story. This movie was directed by John Advilsen, the director of the first Rocky, but still written by Stallone.
Many Rocky fans say this is a bad film. I can't understand that. It's a great film, with fantastic acting. I think they were just not happy with Rocky not fighting in the ring.
So ignore the bad critism, cause this one is worth it!
The Rocky Anthology is true enjoyment, not just for boxing fans, but also for moviegoers and people who like to be entertained. Once again: Rocky is not just about boxing. It has a dramatic backdrop. One of the great things of the movies is that the caracters develop during every movie. For example, the caracter of Adrian (Talia Shire) is transformed from a unsure, shy woman into a beautiful strong woman, which is great to experience. Sylvester Stallone has done a perfect job creating this caracters and the story of the man that has become a true symbol in the movieworld.
So, are you willing to go that distance together with Rocky? Then watch these movies and ENJOY!
Go for it!
