One of my favorite sports (/overall) movies, and this is a great summary of it: "Ultimately, it's about Rocky finding his lost sense of pride, and not "becoming" somebody, but rather showing the world that he already was somebody, and that all that matters to him is the person who saw him as somebody before anyone else."

How anyone can dislike Rocky is beyond me. Even though all of the sequels vary in quality too, I don’t think there are any I dislike.

I am a big Rocky fan. But I also think, if you had a gym that only showed "Rocky IV" around the clock, that gym would breed warriors that could conquer any country within a 48 hour window.
