2022-02-17 02:00:30 +0000 UTCIf I were a movie studio, and I had a good movie on my hands, I would invite reactors like you, Brandon Likes Movies, Natalie Gold and Cassie Popcorn to REACT to my movie, and your reactions would be my trailer.

2022-02-15 20:42:16 +0000 UTCRocky V isn't bad. The problem with a 'consensus' is that people want to fit in with it and jump on the bandwagon to appear cool. I remember when going against the consensus was cool.

2022-02-15 19:09:43 +0000 UTCWasn't expecting it to be for a literal cut! That was so gross haha -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-02-15 19:09:27 +0000 UTCI think that is our favorite part of films now that I think about it! Thank you for the recommendation :) -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2022-02-15 19:08:22 +0000 UTCWe'll be watching them all for sure now! -Sam

2022-02-15 19:07:53 +0000 UTCYour video on instagram was so cool! -Sam

2022-02-15 19:06:42 +0000 UTCFantastic Reaction to one of my Favorite Movies of all Time !!! Stallone and Talia Shire had such a great Chemistry !!! I love also Rocky 2 and 3 ... but this one is the Best !!! You must watch "Cop Land" from 1997 !! Also a Great Performance from stallone
Florian Meier
2022-02-13 20:11:08 +0000 UTCSince you're new to the Rocky series, I would recommend watching all of them through.
Mondo Spieler
2022-02-13 14:25:39 +0000 UTCYeah, Rocky V isn't a bad movie. It's a necessary part of the whole to understand the entire story. Plus it was directed by John Avildsen, who directed the original Rocky.
Mike Tocci
2022-02-13 11:39:40 +0000 UTCSame, I didn't even know about the director's cut. My parents had IV recorded off of HBO and I must have watched it a dozen times.
Jeffrey Miller
2022-02-13 05:34:02 +0000 UTCAfter the second film, the series becomes increasingly ridiculous until Rocky Balboa (sixth film) where it gets a lot closer to where it started tone wise. That's not to say III and IV are bad, they're just kinda silly. Rocky IV does have the best montages though. I'm with the general consensus that says V is pretty bad though.
Jeffrey Miller
2022-02-13 05:27:50 +0000 UTCRocky 5 is most definitely a must watch, especially if you're a Rocky fan and heavily invested in the characters. The same goes with Rocky 6 titled "Rocky Balboa".
Joe Lazarus
2022-02-13 04:05:38 +0000 UTCI love The Paper! I watch it at least once every couple of years. It's probably my favourite Michael Keaton film. And like you said, what a cast!
Future Boy
2022-02-12 09:22:35 +0000 UTCIโm so excited you all are watching this series! I can never decide which is my favorite, this one or the second movie. Being a shy kid and adult myself, I always connected to Adrian. Another boxing movie you might like is Cinderella Man with Russell Crowe. Lot of heart like Rocky but also very emotional and uplifting. While Iโm suggesting that movie I also would like to suggest another Ron Howard directed movie that I think you guys would really enjoy: The Paper. It has Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei, Robert Duvall, and an entire ensemble of names. Nothing to do with boxing, but itโs such a good movie! No one has ever reacted to it, so you all would be the first. Just thought Iโd put that out there :)

2022-02-12 07:59:29 +0000 UTCAdrian was played by Talia Shire who was Michael's sister Connie in The Godfather films. Joe Spinnell played Mr. Gazzo, the loan shark that Rocky worked for. He appeared in tons of movies and you guys recently saw him as the guy who hired Travis Bickle at the taxicab company in the opening of Taxi Driver. Spinnell was also in The Godfather II as Willie Cicci, right hand of Frank Pentangeli who testified in front of the Senate. The director of Rocky, John G. Avildsen, also directed The Karate Kid. Bill Conti, who did the music, also worked with Avildsen on The Karate Kid.
Mike Tocci
2022-02-12 05:45:09 +0000 UTCRocky V is good. Tommy Morrison was a legit top pro heavyweight IRL and he did a good job acting.
Aaron Barlow
2022-02-12 04:48:05 +0000 UTCA 'Cut man' is a guy that takes care of cuts and swelling on a fighter's face from hits. If a cut is bleeding, blood can get in the eyes and the fight can be stopped if the cut is torn open too much and the fighter is losing too much blood, the cut man can apply ointment that reduces bleeding. If eye swelling is obscuring the fighter's vision they can cut open the swollen area to bleed it out and reduce the swelling.
Aaron Barlow
2022-02-12 03:37:21 +0000 UTCI selfishly want them to watch the original version since that is the one I have access to.
Mark M
2022-02-12 03:13:25 +0000 UTCI could be wrong but the relationships between characters s in films seems to usually be your guys' favourite element of so with that in mind I highly recommend the Before Trilogy. Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight.
Ginge Tomassi
2022-02-12 02:12:19 +0000 UTCRocky V was good, ignore the haters.
Aaron Barlow
2022-02-12 02:00:17 +0000 UTCGreat reaction guys. Little bit of trivia: Not only was the dogs actual name Butkus, it was Stallone's dog as well.
MrCAL
2022-02-12 01:46:04 +0000 UTCRocky is a love story with a little boxing in it. You should watch the entire series. #5 is the weakest link but #6 is great. And the Creed movies are fantastic.
Jen Barnes
2022-02-12 01:12:51 +0000 UTCFantastic reaction! If you're going to go on this Rocky journey, you need to watch all of them! They all tell a continuing story. Movies are subjective, make up your own minds on those later Rocky films. Rocky Balboa (aka Rocky 6) is fantastic by the way, but that's just my opinion.
David Crabtree
2022-02-12 00:59:08 +0000 UTCI just did a double reaction with you guys and Popcorn in Bed and it's hilarious how much you guys all synced up - you could have been in the room together! I'm excited to go on this Rocky journey again with you - I've only really seen 1-4 multiple times, but everything after that only once and not in a LOOOOONG time.
Jason Dolan
2022-02-12 00:30:52 +0000 UTCYet another great reaction to a true classic. It really is the closest thing to watching them again for the first time. I love how people who go in blind to Rocky (and First Blood) have no idea what kind of film they're about to see. I cannot wait to go through the rest of the Rocky films with you!
Future Boy
2022-02-11 22:27:04 +0000 UTCI've seen every Rocky more times than I can count, but I've only seen part 5 maybe two or three times, and not for about 15 years. I've forgotten why it's bad, but I'm kinda looking forward to seeing it again to see what I think.
Future Boy
2022-02-11 22:17:13 +0000 UTCYea Rocky 5 is kinda blegh. Rocky Balboa (aka Rocky 6) is actually quite enjoyable in my opinion.
Scott Kerr
2022-02-11 21:50:11 +0000 UTCI love the original Rocky 4. I watched it endlessly as a kid. But the new director's cut is clearly objectively better (a quick rotten tomatoes check shows the original at 38% and the new one at 80%). It's weird to have 2 versions of the same film that are so different. It must be hard for reactors to know which version to watch...But I think the best experience for someone watching the whole series for the first time is to just watch the superior version.
Future Boy
2022-02-11 21:45:24 +0000 UTCYeah, I can't help myself when any great reactor does it!
Future Boy
2022-02-11 21:32:37 +0000 UTCSylvester Stallone still has the same turtles from this movie. They live at his house in Los Angeles with his family.
Jason Dolan
2022-02-11 21:24:39 +0000 UTCI knew you guys would love it. And you guys pick out stuff I never noticed.
Alex
2022-02-11 20:41:15 +0000 UTCWhen Mike Tyson had that fight a couple years back there were a lot of similar comments. I think people just thought it's done / he's too old / etc but I mean it doesn't have to be over and can still be good. and the Mike Tyson fight was great. Tyson is a huge inspiration.
Alex
2022-02-11 20:40:56 +0000 UTCOpinions on it are mixed from what I've seen. To me, it's a better overall movie than Rocky 4 and not far from 3

Alex
2022-02-11 19:45:47 +0000 UTCBeen watching full reactions on Patreon on multiple channels for the past 18 months But this movie series on this channel has what I have been waiting for the most Can't wait to begin the journey with this reaction later tonight ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ข
Duncan
2022-02-11 19:33:12 +0000 UTCBeen waiting al week for this upload. Time to leave work early and watch this.
Joseph Tamburo
2022-02-11 18:45:52 +0000 UTCWhat criticisms are being levels against Balboa? I thought it's just overlooked but praised, not that it's underrated? I know that before it was released people laughed it and Stallone off because he was getting "too old" (which, funnily enough, was the premise of the movie itself! :) I love the little ironies of life...)

2022-02-11 18:41:01 +0000 UTCSign of a great movie: This is the 4th full reaction I've seen.
Mike Adams
2022-02-11 18:40:22 +0000 UTCYou haven't seen "Rocky" before? Is that legal?
John Swon
2022-02-11 18:34:22 +0000 UTCPeople don't recommend watching "Rocky VI" (which would be "Rocky Balboa") ?? That's crazy! For me it's the third or even second-best out of all of them! "Rocky V" however certainly is the weakest one. And I don't enjoy the cheesyness of "Rocky IV" but I understand its appeal... I'd be curious to watch the recently finished Director's Cut of it though ... edit: "Rocky Balboa" is pretty self-conained by the way. I know people who only watched "Rocky I+II" and then went straight to "Balboa". And they were fine! :)
olly.enn
2022-02-11 18:32:40 +0000 UTCYou gotta watch all the Rocky's.. Rocky V and Rocky Balboa are both great films. You're just missing out on huge parts of the saga's storyline if you don't watch them.
Alex
2022-02-11 18:30:53 +0000 UTCBeen waiting for this all week! Thank you!
Ellie Miller
2022-02-11 18:30:33 +0000 UTCRocky 5 is definitely not good, but it's part of the journey, so you can't really get around it. Rocky Balboa (6) is very good, though, very underrated. Never understood what people have against it, I think you'd love it.
