One one of my last blog's I made a list of my favorite movies of all time and you've seen the list, you would of seen that I have the first three Rocky movies in the list, because that's how much I love Rocky, and in This Blog I'll talk about all of them, in-detail and talk about why I like them and so on, so let's start this than.
The first ever Rocky movie, the movie that launched Sylvester Stallone's career, anyway, lot's of people including myself think that the first Rocky is the best one, why? because all the other Rocky movies don't have the charm the first one had, It's about a Club-Boxer getting a chance to box with the World Heavyweight Boxer, and he has one chance and only one chance to win the title, an underdog story.
With the most likeable movie character in the whole world, Rocky Balboa, A good-hearted man, he lives a very simple life, he doesn't make a lot of money and he's boxing career isn't going anywhere, so when he get's the chance, he takes it.
From now on, I'm warning you, there's gonna be some spoilers.
Second Rocky movie, Rocky becomes famous for his fight with Apollo from the first movie, and after the match with Apollo Creed, he retire's and tries to get a job to support with pregnant wife, Adrian, and well, he can't seem to find a good job so he get's in a rematch with Apollo since Apollo was mad that Rocky was so close to beating him in the first movie.
Now, in this movie, it kind'a lost the touch the first Rocky had, but not completly, and it is a great movie really, but not as great as the first, nothing can beat the original and you should know that by now, but that doesn't mean you should avoid this movie, because it really is a good movie.
The third Rocky movie, in the second movie, Rocky beat Apollo and he got the title, and now he's become really famous and has a mansion, and in my opinion, the highlight of this movie is when Rocky and Apollo Creed team up, that was great, I loved that aspect about the movie.
Now, in this movie, it completley lost the touch that made the first movie so good, but that doesn't mean it's a bad movie, it had one of the most annoying movie character's in the history of annoying movie character's, Clubber Lang, played by Mr. T, the fight wth Clubber Lang was amazing, now some people believe that Rocky was the best one, and the second best one was the second movie and that's the it goes till Rocky 5 ( but they were mistaken, since Rocky 6 is probably the second or third best one) anyway, but I don't believe that's true, because I like this more than the second movie, since the Rocky and Apollo teaming up aspect + The Eye of The Tiger song
The fourth Rocky movie, I didn't watch this one, but I will VERY soon and it doesn't really matter since the whole movie was spoiled for me since I know that Apollo die's and Rocky fight's this Drago guy to avenge Apollo's death and he train's a lot and so on.
now I saw some of the montage's on youtube and wow, they're VERY well done, I can't wait to watch this movie and the song used in this one was really good, I think I even lke it more than Eye of The Tiger.
The fifth Rocky movie, never watched this and from what I heard, this is the worst Rocky movie, but I'll be the judge of that, anyway I know what happen's in this one too, Rocky come's back from Russia, he want's to box again, but he can't so he train's some kid and so on.
Well, I can't say much about this, but I won't avoid it, I have to watch all the series.
the sixth and from the looks of it, the last Rocky movie, now in this movie, Rocky is 60 and he's son is now in he's 20's or something like that, it's a very sad movie, he's wife Adrian is dead and that was really sad.
anyway, after making my top 20 movie's list, I wished I could've put this one in the list, because it' was really good and dramatic, it was just a great way to end the series, but what's wierd is that, in Rocky 5, he didn't box because he had Brain damage and a problem with he's eye, and in this movie, he has the problems (but they're not mentioned) and he's 60, now they're not deniying that he's old, but for some reason, they just forgot about the problems he had due to boxing? it doesn't really matter, because this was a great movie.
and now I'm done with this, and I hope you enjoyed it and enjoyed the Rocky series.
