And I provided you with TWO notable NY critic's opinions direct from a NY newspaper ad. Pay attention. Rotten Tomatoes wasn't in existence then, but they have compiled reviews of the time and "Rocky" receives a 92% positive. And too bad if you don't consider TWO Best Picture Awards better than any critic's view.

pay attention to what? since someone else had noted that gene shalit was pretty much the definition of "middlebrow" i didn't feel the need to repeat an observation that had already been made twice.

of course one man's middle is another man's peak.

I posted elsewhere in this thread that Roger Ebert (and has there ever been a more highly regarded movie critic?) raved - I'll post a link to his review below. And others have posted that it won the best Picture award from the LA critics. So obviously, it must have had a decent critical reception, even if the critics weren't unanimous (when are they?).
