And if you're lucky, he'll mention the 911 conspiracy.Reading his stuff is like if you were reading a Michael Moore version of '1984'.
thats because you and my old sparring buddy A.C HAVE been brainwashed by sony and the mainstream media on 9/11 and are in denial about it.typical of you 2 man-spider fans.

I rest my case.

I think Parker is right in this case, should have stopped at 3. I did not see 6 because I'm just so tired of all these Rockies. Plus, I agree with him that the Spider-Man movies all suck.
Personally, I loved the Spider-Man trilogy to death. It just captured everything that makes Spidey Spidey, in my opinion.
The character arc of Rocky ended with 3. It could have stopped there and be considered a classic trilogy. But it was too much money for Stallone to say no to, so he artificially kept it going.
Though if he had never made 4 & 5, No. 6 would be more poignant with it's story, coming after a long absence.

If he ended at 3, it wouldn't feel so great. It just wasn't that great of a movie.
4 was purely awesome to me. And 6 really tied everything up better than any of the other films could.

I know,the jerk stopped caring about good quality Rocky movies around when Rocky 3 was made.thats when the movies started to get rediculous,that whole Hulk Hogan thing was stupid as hell and not at all realistic.Rocky four as I pointed out took it to the extremes and went way overboard even worse with absurdity and insaneness even far worse than Rocky 3 did.
Should have ended it as a trilogy right there with Rocky and appollo dancing around with each other in the ring.great way to end it,as a trilogy but like you said,he got greedy and could not resist the money and ruined the whole thing with rocky four and rocky five.Thats what I said earlier,would have been nice if four and five were never made and he had just skipped over to rocky 6 after a long absence.

I woulda liked it if Rocky had won in 6
that was the thing that was nice about six was it went back to some of the original ideas that the original rocky movie had with him losing.it would have just been the same old rehash of the previous films if that had happened.I was pleasantly surprised with six because of that.I figured since Rocky 4 and five were just plain dogdoo shit,then there was no reason to believe six would be any different.Glad I was wrong.it did not have the magic that the first three films did,but it at least wasnt utter crap like four and five,that was refreshing. 🙂

Totally agreed. But technically, Dixon did get more accurate hits and knockdowns, but still. I prefer the alternate ending to that scene.
Yeah I prefer the alternate ending as well, Rocky winning felt like the perfect ending really but in a way the ending they went with in the end was also a good ending and showed Rocky could still take a hit and go head to head with a younger generation
what I think is funny is the brainfart that stallone had when he made rocky four.He somehow forgot that when appollo and his former trainer were watching film footage of the first fight of clubber and rocky,that appollo said to his former trainer-Man that clubbers strong,we got to put him away early,I figure with Clubbers strength and Rockys endurance,that rocky can last 5 or 6 rounds with him,maybe seven.we got to put him away early. it was something very similiar to that anyways.so rocky who was incapable of lasting more than 5 or 6 rounds with Clubber Lang somehow is able to last 15 rounds with Drago? 🙄 yeah right,get off the pipe stallone. 😆
whats even funnier is during filming,Lungren accidently punched stallone in the shoulder and dislocated it for 3 months as a result and THIS was coming from a NORMAL human being.yet Rocky is somehow able to last 15 rounds with this SUPERHUMAN who has super strength? thats like me being able to take on spiderman. 😆 😆 🙄 Rocky 4 was so retarded it was pathetic. 😆
PLUS,rocky was only able to beat Clubber because appollo retrained him and taught him to fight like a boxer instead of an ape.get real,if appollo couldnt have handled him,a fighter that caused rocky fits in the ring and went the distance with him everytime and had to train him for rocky to be able to beat Lang,if HE couldnt handle Drago,then no way in hell would Rocky have been able to either.Thats what made the first rocky film and 2 and 3 so fun to watch was they were realistic and believeable.take away that hulk hogan thing which had nothing to do with the fight,get rid of that,and rocky 3 would have REALLY been an excellent film to end it all as a trilogy.
In my opinion Rocky 3 should have been Rocky 4 (how can you not have Drago!?) and then possibly finished it, although maybe with Rocky 5 being the fourth movie. I liked the movie with Tommy Gunn, it was different with Rocky as a trainer, and struggling to cope being out of boxing. Different kind of confrontation at the end too.
