This summer I've been watching movies that I know a lot about but haven't fully seen. Raging Bull was one and now Rocky. (It's just a coincidence that they are both about boxers). It's a really weird combination, I think, especially once you finally watch. The thrill of not knowing what to expect or how things will play out is missing, so it can be somewhat underwhelming.
But I still enjoyed Rocky. I appreciated the gritty atmosphere and quiet pacing. In fact, I'd argue that the slow build-up is essential in order for the audience to connect with Rocky's character and story. It's definitely still a classic and one that makes you smile.
