The entire Rocky Franchise is shite

[Gandalf]

You are talking bollocks. Fact

V aside each hold its own when considered against the era it was made in.

How many other character franchises are still going strong after 43 years?

I think even 5 is pretty good. One is the best, but they all have something. First 2 are proper films, next two are more action films, 5 is a return to 1 and 2, but not as strong. Balboa was reasonable. No interest in the new ones at all.

You should try the new ones. They work. Trust me. I wasn’t happy when they first announced them but was very surprised

I saw Creed getting a good reception so I watched that, but I had trouble understanding what the characters were saying. A lot of mumbling going on and characters you don't really get into unlike the original 6. I love characters like Adrien, Paulie, Mickey, and Rocky. They all gel so well. It was nice how they grew Apollo too. Apart from Rocky I didn't really feel Creed. I will check out the new one, but the originals are films I can always watch again and again.
