Rocky 4 is the best film ever made in the history of films.

Rocky 5 never happened.

Rocky 5 is underappreciated IMO. I like how it is back to family and character building again. Rocky retiring with brain damage is really sad and to lose all the money which of course does happen. It had moments with Adrien and with Paulie and even a glimpse of Mickey, it still had the formula. The only weakness really was the street fight to finish it. Rocky 4 was sometimes like an advert for holidaying in the Russian wilderness, but still a very good fight, though silly East against West grandstanding. Rocky 1 is just a perfect film IMO. I love everything about it.

As a film Rocky 1 is the best and it got gradually worse until 5 which was rubbish. You are giving too much credit to the film, it is a rip off of all the famous catch phrases and cliche in boxing.

I liked 5 as 3 and 4 were so paper thin in terms of character. In terms of having substance it was an improvement. The cliches were all in 4 with the overblown killing machine, East against West, power pop workouts etc. People say 5 is poor but I disagree. I like it and if you don't like 5 then liking 4 means you are a fan of exercise videos more than anything else. There is a story in 5. Not bad at all. It explores new ground with the end of a career and having to start again.

I'll say this for Rocky 5. The End is great. Not the pony street fight, but the proper end when Elton sings The Measure of a Man over stills of Rocky and co's journey.


Brings a tear to your eye.

The street fight brings a tear to my eye for the reason it destroyed the stupid franchise.

I have seen Rocky 1 and the one with Ivan Drago, I think I have seen bits of the one with Tommy Gunn as well, never liked any of them

Give me Raging Bull any day

Quit saying Rocky. Plus you don't even wear one on your wrist.
