Review title: Rocky Product review: Penned by a young Stallone, the script for "Rocky" was sold with the proviso that its writer, who was a nobody himself in 1976, would star in the low-budget film. Stallone got his wish, and like Rocky, made good on the unlikely opportunity to clinch his fame. Although the feel-good, come-from-behind story has been done to death, Avildsen's mix of low-life street drama, heart-tugging romance (with Talia Shire as Rocky's faithful girl), and bruising, in-the-ring melodramatics hammer home the uplifting message of hope like few films ever have. The gritty camerawork, location shots in urban Philly, and Rocky's intense training scenes with irritable, curmudgeonly Meredith (who's terrific) work beautifully. Tuck in and take a shot at "Rocky."

Review title: Not a thinking book, good for passing time Product review: I forgot it on the train in London after 300 pages. I was inititally upset, but had absolutely no desire to purchase it again. Sorry Tom, but you blew this one. Where is the twisted plot that uses the 150 pages for plot foundation and another 800 to unwind? It read more like a Grisham...not a thinker, just a time passer.
Answer: decrease

Question: You are considering whether to buy a product. You look at the reviews. Would the following review decrease or increase the chances of you buying the product? Review title: daring, entertaining and ultimately failing Product review: I finally saw this after hearing so much both pro and con about it. I have friends who saw it 4 or 5 times the first week it came and and who raved about it, and friends who thought it was the stupidest movie they had ever seen. I have to give the director credit--this is nothing like any movie I have seen before--the idea is unique, the visuals are stunning, but it just doesn't hang together the way it should. Part of the reason is the ridiculously simplistic story line, but mostly I think it fails because the editing is poorly done. At no point in the film does the editor slow down long enough to let you really see anything, and the effect which is at first energizing and creative becomes annoying, and dizzying.
