Best to Worst ROCKY Movies

[Nitro Express]

You fucking geeks talking about Ed's strings and toys. This is a thread about Rocky!

God dammit where's the moderator!!!!!

I think if Ed met Clubber Lang, he would shove a guitar neck up his ass and turn him into a popsicle.

Thought this thread needed a soundtrack.

That's terrible.

Sorry, I couldn’t find a Jimmy Page version.

I give the performance a B+. I dig Paul’s adaptation but he can’t help himself puking out the obligatory and unnecessary speed runs, thereby detracting from the overall performance for me.

I saw Rocky III in the theater as a late pre-teen. Rocky III did something the first two movies did not: introduced a frightening character Clubber Lang. Apollo Creed was Rocky’s adversary but he was also suave, confident, likable; that’s also why Rocky III-IV worked. Clubber Lang was Rocky’s nemesis.

Brilliant franchise! Bravo

Oh, no doubt. He’s a total caricature of himself in that regard. I saw him do the primary root of the theme on his Rick Beato interview and was actually more impressed by that. He is one of those guys who can pretty much play whatever he wants, always.

Yeah, it’s III and IV for me. The original is a classic, but too drawn out and II is sort of the same thing only sillier. I actually haven’t seen any of them after IV.

The only Rocky I ever saw was III, at the flicks with my Dad and a couple cousins. I remember my Dad had taken us there for our own pleasure. He couldn't help giggling at the "eye of the tiger" as, for him, he rather had the "eye of the fried fish".

The first one was the best. It got more ridiculous and cartoonish after that. But hey, the public gobbles shit up like a swarm of flies so why not sell them some?
