Do you guys recommend the Rocky series? Never seen any of them.
Do you guys recommend the Rocky series? Never seen any of them
1 and 4 are kino
rest are ok
The original is pretty good. If you must watch one, make it that.
The first two are great. After that the series gets silly.
All but 5(You do not need to watch 5 at all). And Creed is pretty good too.
It's kinda like Rambo in a way. First movie is almost a serious drama about a broken man. Then by the fourth he's Action Man #127.
Rocky 4 is the best one and if you say otherwise you're a pleb
you're right. the later movies miss the whole point of rocky. he's a loser journeyman who (canonically) has 20+ losses. he's literally not supposed to be a champion in any sense. the whole point of the movie is that an underprivileged average joe can be almost as good as the champion for just one night, just out of hard work and determination.
I always had the impression that the Rocky movies were stupid sports movies. I saw Rocky I out of curiosity a few weeks ago, and boy was I wrong.
I used to put myself down, I didn't believe in myself and I didn't have the confidence to stand up for myself. Rocky changed my life. Its unforgettable.
What's your favorite scene from the series?

the music alone is GOAT
>1 is a great serious romance driven sports drama
>4 is so over the top it's anime tier
>Balboa,Creed 1 and 2 continue the more grounded aspects
>5 is shit
>2 and 3 are forgettable but necessary to understand the kino that is 4
You should probably check them out when you have the time
I and II are very similar in setting and tone, I'd recommend both
first 2 then it gets a bit too hollywood.
5 was really stupid.
2 >= 1 > 4 > 3 > 5
eye of the tiger bruh
Yes. The first is a legitimately great movie, and the rest are all pretty good for various reasons.
It's basically DBZ is Goku was a retarded wop from philly who boxed.
Watch the first one and then stop.
3rd one was my favourite. Best movie theme song of all time eye of the tiger.
Only seen the first 3. 2 is like a better version of 1. 3 is the most enjoyable overall. 1 is like less of a boxing movie than the others and more about living poor. All 3 are great
1 and 2 are kino
The 1st one is far and away the best one. All the rest except for 5 are pretty good.
Yes, watch IV. Then rewatch it cos it's badass. 2 and 3 are fun. 1 is the best as a drama film but personally I find it boring because I'm more into it for action. 6 is good, 5 is trash. The 2 Creed films are OK but it feels like they're justdoing a poor imitation of the original Rocky films without understanding the heart and emotion of the originals - much like how AI in the future will replicate human actions and behaviour but they won't really "get" what they're doing (fuck nggers).
I'd watch 1+2 back-to-back and then stop. Rocky 3-5 are brainlet-tier Hollywood action movies compared to 1. 6 on the other hand is nice.
Don't listen to this faggot. Watch the first two at the very least. 3 and 4 are fun and indulgent. 5 can be skipped and 6 is worth it if you've enjoyed the series by the time you get to it. Creed is also worth watching if you've enjoyed them. I've not seen Creed 2 yet so i can't comment on it.
1 is kino and so is 4, creed is pretty good also.
Creed 1 & 2 are alright but I think they try too much to live on the success of Rocky and appeal to nostalgia. Creed's son itself doesn't have much to offer and his story isn't interesting. Unlike Rocky, he didn't built his way into fame and fortune.
I enjoyed the first creed but the 2nd one was trash,its like they tried to remake Rocky 4 but without any of the rocky themes
If you can't appreciate Rock IV, you are literally a communist. The soundtrack alone is legendary.
Rocky II isn't really worth your time at this point. Rocky III is kind of fun and I think worth watching.
Rocky V is one of the worst movies ever made and it was so bad that it was retconned in multiple ways.
The first one is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Period.
The next three are good, and they expand the characters in a meaningful way.
Rocky V is pure dogshit.
Rocky Balboa is just as good as the three that followed the first.
5 is entertaining as fuck and has the most agitating bad guy, what is wrong with all of you?
I know it's cheesy but saying you shouldn't watch it is just retarded.
Guess it's a pleb filter thing
Go to 16:16 of this video:
>youtube.com
It's Stallone describing the painting he did of the character before he even wrote Rocky. Stallone is a really interesting guy and his description of the painting really reveals a lot more going on behind the surface of the original Rocky and I think it makes it an even better film.
The Rocky films are interesting as they kinda form a biography of Stallone's own life. In 1 he's down and out and only has one shot to make it. In the film he loses the fight, in reality the film won best picture that year. In 2 no one believes he can do it again and he doubts himself too, instead he wins and in reality the film was an even bigger success at the box office.
Then comes 3 and Rocky and Stallone are bigshot celebrities fighting Mr T and Hulk Hogan. Then in 4 (which is almost the exact opposite of the original) Stallone's ego is planet-sized and he fucking ends the Cold War at the end (I shit you not it's fucking hilarious.) Then in 5 Stallone just doesn't care and he's kinda washed up, and in the film that's what happens. Balboa he's making his comeback and it's just as good in reality as it is on the screen.
Yet Rocky's a different guy to Stallone. Watch that video, he's articulate. He's actually something of a closet intellectual. Meanwhile, let's face it, Rocky's a dummy, yet he has such a heart of gold that you can't help but love him.
They're such weird movies because so many of them are kinda silly but they oddly tell the story of Stallone's entire life. And the original is just a simply fantastic film too. And 4 is just fucking funny.
Rocky 1&2 are essential "women will never understand" films
