Re: Rocky Balboa
Rocky 5 was probably the best episode really. It was the most realistic by FAR and had plenty of action and feeling in it.
4 was the most dramatic and epic of course.
Other than that 1 and 3 were good too.
On the down slide, Rocky 2 was an absolute joke, so ridiculous, so boring with perhaps the worst montage and actual fight of the entire series, could possibly have ended the whole franchise there were it not for the high quality and excitement by comparison of Rocky 3.
As for Rocky Balboa, disgusting and a low point for modern movies in general that Sylvester actually made such a drip movie about a 60 year old fighter that challenges the HW champ of the world, almost successfully!
There's almost like some code among nostalgists that the shitter the Rocky movie, the better it is to be held in esteem. Quite similarly to nostalgists views of boxers too
