Rocky Marciano

Heavy weight champion in the world just sad how he passed away

Not bad but my husband loves it so I'm glad I got it for him

Perfect DVD. Husband is getting this for Christmas and he's going to be very satisfied with this purchase.

Rocky Marciano was a real life hero when I was a boy and this movie does justice to that memory. Starting from humble beginning, Rocky escapes the fate of his father (played by a believable George C Scott in his final role). This drive to escape the shoe factory and make something of himself becomes his driving force in life. Ultimately it becomes his undoing as develops an obcession with wealth. This very real human aspect of the story seperates it from the standard genre of a boxer pulling himself up by his bootstraps. The interplay and collision of Rocky with Joe Louis gives this tale greater depth. The film is understated, ironic, touching and well worth watching

Favreau does a really great job in this movie. As far as I'm concerned finding someone to portray The Rock would be quite a challenge, as with any great boxer, especially heavyweight. An actor just can't do the same things in a movie that Ali could do, the murderous power of George Foreman cannot be captured by anyone other than Big George. It's the same for Marciano however, in my opinion Favreau does as good a job as anyone, including Deniro in The Raging Bull, in capturing the role. There is more comedy than you might expect but I think it's well placed and Favreau probably can't help but be kinda funny no matter what.

It seems what we do know about the non-fight life of Marciano was mostly ignored in this movie. There is zero attempt made to mimic his speech or mannerisms. This literally could've been a movie about any boxer, it's bland, uninspired, and lazy film making at its best.The boxing portions, which are important in a boxing movie, are shockingly bad and over-acted. I have no idea why you'd hire actors that don't have the stage fighting chops to pull off scenes like this - but that's what they did. The cinematography is ... really bad. I'm trying to think of a way to make you understand why fight scenes aren't shot this way in good movies. Skip to any of them in this movie, if you dare, to see what I mean.If you love boxing, Marciano, and/or endlessly grinding in an MMORPG and require background noise, this movie is sufficient. Stay away otherwise.

Jon in one of his best and not well known performances. Not completly accurate, but a good portrayal of The Rock.

good

yes very good fim of the great fighter wellacted and interesting story of thec undefeated boxer .

Brilliant even if you do like boxing, a life story.
