Is III the one with the robot?

Nope, that's IV.

[The Argonaut]

III was with Hulk Hogan for some reason, and then Mr. T.

He looked about 60 years old in the first Rocky

[Kaius]

The first Rocky is a masterpiece.

The first Rocky is a masterpiece.

It's a great movie. A New Hollywood character drama that happened to become a huge hit. Avildsen's direction is a little flat, but the performances, the casting, the writing, the music...it's a KNOCKOUT!

I marathoned the Rocky series over the last two days. I liked all of them (I'd seen them all before, but it had been many years since I last saw 2-5). I enjoyed them all, but here's how I'd rank them:

1. Rocky
2. Rocky Balboa
3. V
4. III
5. II
6. IV

How did Rocky V get such a high ranking?

Ha, I figured someone would bring that up. I appreciated its decided return-to-roots approach. While I liked 2-4, I think they strayed from the character drama that made the original great, and became much more boxing movie. V tried to get back (though not entirely successfully) to what made the first work. It's essentially a layered father/son drama with boxing as an undercurrent. Hell, it doesn't even have a climactic boxing scene; instead, we get a gritty street fight! I liked the change in formula.

[The Argonaut]

Good luck with the robot, Argo

I was worried that Rocky was going to box with a robot, based on these posts. I'm just glad that didn't happen. None of these movies are bad, and all are very watchable. They just keep getting weirder.

Yes, they are definitely very watchable. All six films were exceedingly easy to watch back-to-back.

COCKSUCKIN' MACHINE ATE MY MOTHERFUCKIN' QUARTER

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
