40 Years of Rocky: The Birth of a Classic

Horribly boring. Stallone narratives a making of over Super 8 footage. He repeats himself time and time again. If you want a more in depth narrative, listen to his DVD audio commentary for Rocky.

This is waste of everyone's time.

1/10

The first time I watched this movie was probably 25 years after it was initially released and have seen it a dozen times since. Rocky is one hell of a classic and seeing never seen footage of it is amazing. You would have thought it would if been released with the many productions of Rocky DVDs.

Making it short was probably a good decision. This could have potentially been a longer documentary because this movie has impacted many people's lives positively but having such a short film with narration from Stallon may have been the best choice.

I have a friend at Buenos Aires named Rocky Balboa, too. He's a friend from the movies. We spent together almost forty-five years, and I think he'll be my friend beyond death becomes to us. I truly believe in it. This little gem is not about «Rocky», it's about how John G. Avildsen saw his little picture during the making, and Sylvester Stallone enjoys his dream of making it. That's not original but that's not boring, because it's an intimate close capture of period, work, and life. See it!

I have seen multiple making of documtaries on Rocky and this one is unique in that it is mostly made up of home movies on the set of the film. It is narrated by Sylvester Stallone giving insights about what he us seeing. It is interesting for any Rocky fan but is really short.

Not worth buying.

Such a shame, couldn't wait to watch it, hoping to find something to add to the great story but...
