James, you mentioned that Appolo Creed was going to be tougher in Rocky 2 because he was angry he lost the last fight. But from what I understand he won the last fight by decision in Rocky 1. Unless there is another fight in Rocky 2. Anyone know? Anyways love the review and your work. Thanks!

Rocky III is the best. That fight at the end is soooo satisfying.

I’m not a movie fan, but I’m pretty sure I must have seen all of them, one way or another, with the exception of Balboa and Creed.

Rocky III and IV for casual viewers such as myself might be the most spectacular of the pack.
Probably because of Mr. T (Mario Baracus man!!) and Dolph Lundgren, which were iconic figures on my childhood (The photography on these two is worth noting!)
James Brown and Livin’ in America, Apollo’s death, cool stuff all over Rocky IV!!

Gotta get me Grudge Match!!!
Thanks for your knowledge James!!

btw from wikipedia ive read V orginally had ending where Rocky dies after fight with Tommy Gunn, but Stallone disapprove that idea.

1. Rocky II
Why: Because of the one simple line, “win”.
2. Rocky
Why: Because, let’s face it, without it there would be no franchise. There is something to be said about establishment and/development. Characters!!! This movie connects with the audience.
3. Creed
Why: Because OMG what a surprise!!! It recaptured the spirit and feeling of the original, yet left me accepting and relating to a totally new character. Great movie!
4. Rocky IV
Why: Montages and, like you said, super villains. Hearts on Fire is on my playlist for work outs.
5. Rocky III
Why: Eh…. is what it is.
6. Rocky Balboa
Better than III, just a smidge less entertaining. Split decision. It landed here because I couldn’t find a reason to bump it up over III. But I understand if your’s is different. There was no technical elements taken into consideration. This is me simply liking it.
7. V
Why… it’s just the worst one in the series.

In reply to Next. Thank you! And yes, why the hell Stony Deleted version or unedited scenes still can't be viewed is beyond me.
