    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.

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

    Yeah, very different films. Raging Bull is the Greatest Boxing film ever, with the greatest Actor ever.
    The Rocky films are fantasy and include one of the most wooden actors ever, but you know what? It's FUN.
    Some Boxing fans take the Rocky films too seriously, they should take them for what they are.
    Mind you, it totally makes me cringe and piss me off a little bit when Stallone is put into the Hall of Fame, and don't get me started about the Contender, when they're having lunch, him at one end of the table and Sugar Ray at the other , and he's holding court, telling boxing anecdotes, and the boxers are mesmerised!!!

    Stallone the actor the contender was pure theater, add a bit of Sugar Ray commercialized trod it
    turned out to be! polished and slick boxing for nice people.
    Raging old Jake a twat great stuff how it was how it is ! Creed is all right if you like Rocky simple plot nothing to taxing for the masses.
    Nothing wrong with Rocky films but Raging Bull is the boy for me.
