In order of preference!

Mine:

Rocky - Has to be, it's the original and the best.
Rocky II - Gives you all the same feelings as the first... a fine sequel,
Rocky IV - This is so high simply because it is the best film after the Rocky films take their detour. It also has the best soundtrack and a fantastic comicbook villain.,
Rocky Balboa - A true conclusion, this is certainly the purest Rocky film since II,
Rocky III - This is where the Rocky films take a different path, a much less serious tone. It's still great but one of the weakest in my opinion,
Rocky V - Definitely the worst. I think this one is pretty unanimous. While it is easily the worst film I still think people judge it unfailrly though... It's still entertaining, and has one of the best and most satisfying endings. Touch me and I'll sue......... *Smack*....Sue me for what?

beer Nice Thread,Anyway here is my opinion

smokin'
Rocky 2-I feel this movie is slightly greater then the first and possibly the best sequel in film history

Rocky 1-A classic underdog movie with a real emotional ending

Rocky 5-Yes,This one will surprise most people but I like the story too it and the fantastic ending

Rocky 4-This one has one of the greatest Villains on screen of all time.Ivan Drago what a fabulous character

Rocky Balboa-Good story and a great way to end the series,unfortunately the villain/opponent in this movie was the weakest of all the movies

Rocky 3-Easily the weakest,Mr T made a decent villain but this movie felt like a long music video too me at times and just lacked story,Almost like they threw in long music scenes just to get out of making a decent plot,Really not a fan of this one

Rocky V will always be everyone's least favorite...or any sane Rocky fans least favorite. Originally Rocky was going to die due to his fight with Tommy and the head problems he had originally encountered from Drago and all his years of taking blows to the head. But Sly changed it of course.

That would've been even worse.

beer Thats very interesting,That you rank the fourth first and rank the second 4th last...You Left out Balboa''The sixth one'' Where would you rank that?

smile I would also love if you could elaborate a little on why you ranked the movies in that order


smokin' Also,I have always wondered the dislike of Rocky 5 seems everyone is voting it last,Can people explain there reasons for not liking it? This would be greatly appreciated

§P0oONY
There are a few reasons why I ranked Rocky V last... The films set up felt a little rushed in it's writing. Obviously they wanted to take Rocky back to his roots and take him to his lowest point... but it just seemed so forced, everything from the brain damage to losing all his money.. I also didn't like the fact that the film really didn't have a point; there was no real message and at the end of the film ROcky isn't even in a better place... the whole film it was simply pulling from the nostalgia of previous films (which is also the thing I loved about it) without having a point itself. The biggest flaw is obviously Tommy Gunn though... Wooden character with wooden acting, there was nothing satisfying about watching Rocky take him under his wing and there was nothing very satisfying about watching Rocky kick is arse, leaving you with the series' worst fight.

All this said it's still a decent film. I think it's massivly underrated. There are some of the best scenes from any Rocky film in it (The one with Micky springs to mind.) Plus there is real onscreen chemistry between Sly and his son.


Put it this way, if Rocky Balboa had never been released I would still be happy having 5 as the series conclusion. I think Stallone to treat it like a mistake... and act like it was never made.

I didn't like the fact that there was no point to Rocky V, I mean he'd beaten all these obsticles and then suddenly Sly thinks 'Ok so we'll take away his money, give him brain damage and then he like...trains this guy who wins the title BUT gets jealous of being called Rocky's Robot! And so in the end Rocky beats him in a street fight which proves absolutely nothing!' Seriously they may as well have made Rocky V...Paulie's robot has a wire loose...and now only Rocky can save his family, in a boxing match to the death Rocky must now face his biggest challenge yet and face the might that is Sico II. Or Rocky vs The terminator, Rocky has to protect Sarah Connor from a T800 and a boxing match is sanctioned between the two.

Actually if you dont think of it as a Rocky movie and think of it as a movie that should be called Tommy instead,its not that bad a movie.Not near as bad as that god awful Rocky 4 anyways.Their both horrible,wish they would have ended it with Rocky three and fastword through to Rocky Balboa which was much better than either of those.My list goes.

Rocky

Rocky 3

Rocky 2

Rocky Balboa

Rocky 5

Rocky 4.

I will hunt for on old dead thread of mine that proves why Rocky Five AND four were so awful and post it in my next post.

Mr Parker

§P0oONY
I love IV. It's the most entertaining.

Mr Parker

§P0oONY
Mate, I enjoy Rocky IV... that's enough for me. The soundtrack, the pantomime villain. It's just a great movie to watch with mates and a crate of beer.

Here as promised is the reason WHY it is so horrible and should be burned along with Rocky Five.as you can see from the responses on my thread here,quite a few people agreed with me as well. If your objective and open minded,after reading through my opening post,you'll understand WHY its so horrible.I so badly wanted to see Lungren kill Rocky in that movie.that would have been awesome AND realistic.oh at the time I said Rocky Balboa was a very bad movie as well on that thread,but I have since then changed my mind.

erm I agree that Rocky 4 was the most unrealistic but it is just a ''movie'' It is still entertaining

It would have been good if stallone had done the RIGHT thing and had Drago kill him as well.that was the thing that always made the Rocky films enjoyable was they were realistic.Rocky 4 ruined it all.
