Viewers generally cherish 'Rocky' for its deep character development and the unexpected, more human portrayal of its protagonist, rather than just another underdog sports story. The film's blend of drama and sport, alongside iconic music and a gritty portrayal of American life, resonates well, making it a must-watch classic. However, some noted that the film shows its age, particularly in sound quality, and a few found the acting and pacing lacking at times.
