Slime Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 *DING DING* Alright boys, let me explain the rules...watch the low blows, the kidney punches and the rabbit punches. Let's have a good clean fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slime Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 I spent all of last night watching Rocky IV (for the second time), Rocky V (for the first/last time) and Rocky Balboa (for the first and possibly last time). Rocky IV is still weak. Throughout the movie, I kept thinking "your formula is showing" Rocky V was at least trying to be different, but being different isn't as good if you fail to be a great movie. Rocky Balboa was just TOO implausible for me. I can't suspend my disbelief THAT much. Still, it was better than IV and V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I like the first three and the last one. IV and V blow...and blow hard. Rockys 2 & 3 are the most underrated of the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Rico, Little Marie and Paulie has been a constant. Paulie mellowed out in his old age. Compare his behavior in Rocky I to Rocky Balboa.

I agree that the first is still the best, but I'd argue that a few others are still very good film. Rocky III is as poignant as any of them, IMO.

III was fun... "Thunderlips is here, in the flesh baby", IV was so bad it was good..."I must break you", and ROCKY BALBOA was much better than I thought it would be.

LoneStar Boogie Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 The original is the best, but the second one is really good, too. The rest are so-so to crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I like all of them, even though I know IV and V really aren't that good. Probably a nostalgia thing with me. Anyway, yeah, the first one can't be touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slime Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Rocky 1 kicked ass Rocky 2 was awesome Rocky 3 was just SLIGHTLY better than Rocky 2 Honestly, I can't pick between the first three. There are parts of part 3 that are stronger than part 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I liked part 3. Something about both Rocky and Mr. T in the same movie is full of win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint NIck Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hi Everybody! When I talk about movies with Anyone, Rocky will always & forever be my favorite; Die Hard, Caddyshack and Halloween round out my faves for the other genres. Yet, when I say Rocky, I'm meaning the first four of the series; and I chose Rocky II on this poll. I love the story line and the music always helps me; especially "Going the Distance" from the 1st & 2nd, and the training montage music from the 4th film. A bit personal here...when the 4th came out at Thanksgiving of '85, my Mom was going through chemo-therapy treatments galore to fight cancer. We already loved Rocky a whole lot; this mega-emphasized the specialness of the character. To see 'Rocko' face his fears = challenges and how he overcame them into victory, just helped Mom, myself & Family deal with the title fight of cancer. Mom went down for the final count on Wedensday, September 9, 1992. Mom's my Rock. My Friends, I thank you for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyRulz Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Original (1976) all the way. It was better made than the others; the cinematography, the soundtrack, the art direction... this was truly a Best Picture Oscar-winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workingcinderellaman Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I really thought the training music video in Rocky 3 of Appolo and Rocky running in slow motion on the beach was beautiful. Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all a good film. I liked I and II better, III tie, IV bad, V Ive never seen all the way through its so f-cking awful. I is a classic of course.

I got the impression that Rocky and Little Marie were on their way to something. Jeesh, this is like a soap opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
