As much as I loved the Rocky series, Rocky V sucked.
I hope that VI is far better.
Everyone else on board with this feeling?

its the worst one out of the existing 5, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its moments.
the scene where he goes back to the gym and has the flashback with Micky is probably the greatest scene out of any of the movies.
but, yeah for the most part it does suck
I think at this point #6 just can not be any good. I know it is just a movie but from what I have read about it how can it be any good? Rocky comes out of retirement to fight a real fightr?!? Because of some game?!?! Come on try to be at least attached to reality, put him back in the gym as a trainer and go from there. I like my non-scifi movies to have at least some realism. I do not see this as being any good.
I hope you are being ironic ;)Quote:

The part where Adrian and Rocky have their speech on the road in rocky 5 was a tearjerker 8)
I think the rocky series brakes down like this
1) Rocky - Clearly a four star movie on its own
2) Rocky III - I love the fact that he gets an early knockout in the final fight. It is so unrocky like(+ hulk hogan)
3) Rocky IV -The cold war, Apollo dies, good man flick
4) Rocky II - Little over the top. Adrian goes in a coma/ both fighters knocked down at the same time
5) Rocky V - Cleary the worst Rocky. Rocky does not box, and Pauly looses all of Rocky's Money? Huh?
techincally in rocky 2, when both men fell down......... Rocky's knockdown shouldn't of been counted because it was a slip, Apollo didnt touch him. 8)
I really didn't mind number 5 because I really thought it was trying to get back to what realistically happens in the boxing world and in life. Think about all the world champions who end up broke or not much better off than when they started (Leon Spinks eaks out a living as a janitor and signing autographs for a fee). My feeling about number 5 is that Stallone was truly trying to make a realistic film.
After supposedly being about half blind in Rocky 2, totally shot and on his last legs at the beginning of Rocky 3 (remember Micky telling him his opponents were being picked because they were not man-eaters like Clubber Lang and the second fight with Apollo, in Mickey's estimation, should have killed him), he just kept getting stronger instead and beating bigger, stronger guys. Rocky 4, to me, while exciting was just about the most unrealistic of the series. Ivan Drago was supposed to be around seven feet tall and who knows how many years younger and Rocky was supposed to be totally shot. It was like Stallone just kept forgetting what was in the script in the previous films.
Then came Rocky 5 and he seemed to get back into realism. Broke and in bad health, Rocky returns to his roots and tries to make a living while training an up and coming fighter who has a falling out with him when he gets blinded by greed. I am not so sure the final street fight scene, if it were in real life, would have ended in Rocky winning. But still it was, IMO, a decent film to end the series on.
As far as Rocky 6, oy vey, I can't imagine what Stallone has cooked up for this but he did release some story ideas in his magazine a year ago but stopped short of revealing the whole plot.

In Rocky V, Rocky had that rare brain damage that shoots images of your past fights in your head.
Rocky 4 was basicly just a soft homo erotique porn film (it sits proudly on my shelf with the others I own :D)
Rocky 3 with Rockys special vest, baby oiled rocky and creed was bad enough... Rocky 4 just went to far and rocky 5 was embarassing.
Rocky 1-3 are good films, as comedies/an insite into what the fuck happened to our brains during the 1980s 3 and 4 are great. 5 is a good comedy but it stops there.
paulys the best :D
yup... stallone made rocky dumb again. which tommy morrison was a bad actor, and finally the annoying duke telling rocky "u need 2 make a comeback, america loves comebacks" thats what rocky already did the whole dman series--rocky 6 looks better.....so far. the way he lost his money was stupid---not a good way to end the rocky series---thats y there will b a # 6
in rocky 6 he fights a few small fights for money and then gets offered the chance to fight for the belt cause he never lost the belt no1 took it from him. i think rocky 1 was by far the best with 2 and 4 close behind i didn't like 3 and 5 as much but still thought they were OK films cant wait for the new 1 when he fights Traver ;D
Yeah exactly, i started a thread about that a while ago.Quote:

I think Morrison was a good actor. And of course Rocky VI when Tarver knocks Stallone down he will have flashbacks. But Tarver isn't playing a power puncher he's playing a slick boxer puncher. So he is going to outbox Rocky until Rocky knocks Tarver down with a punch that misses by 3 feet and Tarver does a 360 spin while going down at the same time kicking Rocky in the head which knocks him down as well and then Apollo Creed will come back from the dead and help Rocky up, while Roy Jones appears for Tarver and as he's helping him up gives him a sharp knee to the groin and a headbutt to knock him down again and then Rocky will get up and he will win while tarver is looking up at the lights with people laughing at him and then he'll see a shooting star and scream for everyone to stop laughing and then will turn into that machine from moonwalker and destroy everything and in the process grow an afro and a flatter nose, all the while Rocky's son witnesses it all and declares revenge on Tarver and thus we have Rambo IV ;D it's genius ;D
How about million dollar baby. They just make there own rules of boxing up.Quote:

I would :coolclick: if I could. That is hillarious!! Man I hope your joking and dont actually have an inside to this movie! :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Rocky V is gonna to be a blast! :oooh:
i think rocky VI has a chance to be pretty good--remember its been about 16 years since the last rocky movie.......it gives the series a chance for something its never had-----time for people to miss it......the first 5 were all spaced just a couple 2 or three years apart from each other and it got a little silly in most folks eyes........this rocky will offer alot of nostagia for older folks and people like me in their early 30'sto relive some great memories form our childhood.....
i know sly's attemptin rocky 5 backfired on him and i thnk he's determinned to end this series on a very positive note and with a great movie...and with all the trash hollywood has been throwing at us lately i think another rocky would be a welcome addition............
not only that sly is is terrfiic shape--its hard to beleive he'll be 60 friggin yrs old this summer.............hes still shredded to the bone...
That was one of the better things of Rockey 5:Quote:

rocky 5: Rocky is a retard (again) :D
Thats gotta be one of the funniest posts i have seen! :lolololol: have a CCQuote:

All i wana know is how does Rocky get a licence to fight again? In the last fight he was told he wouldnt be allowed to fight anywhere coz of his injuries and surely his condition would have deteriorated. How are they getting round this? Not that this will stop me from going to see the film but just curious
They problem submitted the MRI of his Dog. ( it's a joke )
bringing back this old post because Rocky VI is on the horizon.. and I wonder if my ending will happen ;D
this fight 4 tarver is much like in real life--mason dixon will probably beat rocky--then call himself a legend killer----not realizing rocky is way past his prime and washed up
Well I think this movie is a darker version of the six.
Then I guess Lennox Lewis is a killer of legend killers.Quote:

There is a clear trend here that does not allow me to hope for too much in Rocky VI.!!!!!!!
:(
I liked 5 , as Duke said, it was darker,
and i personally liked all the emotion in it
I though IV was the worst.....APOLLO! APOLLO!!!! why did you leave me...James brown my A**...damn it....Quote:

when i was about 5 or 6 my uncle brought home the first 2 on vhs, from that moment i wanted to be a boxer
Great scene!!Quote:

rocky 6 probably will be as cheezy and unrealistic as the others but i'll still go and see it. thats why there awesome.
rocky was the best---rocky 4 was the second best--rocky 4 was fun...and the ultimite fight against the unstoppable russian
I think the training scenes and the soundtrack made Rocky IV - probably my fave of allQuote:
