It's the WWE Network before the WWE Network.

*chrisdude* · 09-16-2015, 01:26 AM

The year I discovered Rocky, that box set was all I asked for for Christmas.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-16-2015, 01:41 AM

What's awesome is, not only did my wife get me the Rocky set one Christmas, she got me the Rambo set one Valentine's Day.

*XERO* · 09-16-2015, 11:22 AM

Now all you need is The Expendables set for Halloween. lol

*turtlefanforever* · 11-16-2015, 01:00 PM

Anybody going this thanksgiving?

This is cool, Even though I'm a 80's and 90's kid, I never watched Rocky until I was a married adult. Me and my husband watched them all, and loved them all with the exception of Rocky 5 (I think it was). Rocky Balboa Was Awesome too, I will defiantly be watching this although the music in the preview isn't my cup of tea.

The thing about Rocky 5 is, Rocky Balboa retroactively both makes it much more watchable and even necessary.

Can't wait to see Creed. Though where the hell is Rocky's son? And it's a bit much if both Duke AND Paulie died between films... so where's Duke? He should have some hand in training Apollo's kid.

*chrisdude* · 11-16-2015, 07:00 PM

I like Rocky 5. More than 3 or Balboa, anyway. I can definately understand why it wouldn't have been a satisfying ending, though.

~~Leo656~~ · 11-16-2015, 09:56 PM

I never didn't like Rocky V, but I agree with what Andrew said that it's more important now.

I'd personally be fine with Rocky fighting Kang and Kodos on the f*cking Moon, though. I'm one'a THOSE Rocky fans.

*shuriken* · 11-18-2015, 06:00 PM

My least favorite was always Rocky 4 as its just one long music video during the height of the cold war and 80's over the top ridiculousness.
Ranked from worst to best (IMO) Are
Rocky-4
Rocky-5 I get what it was trying to do, execution was the thing I didn't like.
Rocky-3 Great sequel in that it tells a new story with a very easy staring point. Lots of neat scenes and a great villain in Clubber Lang.
Rocky-6 (Balboa) Kinda depressing at times but it works and is a fine ending point of the series.
Rocky-2- Really enjoyed ow they went about doing the re-match setup and Creed taking on a more antagonistic role.
Rocky- This one does a lot of things right, one of my fave movies ever. Micky is easily one of the most complex and flawed movie characters ever and I love him for it.

As for Creed, yeah I'll watch it. Hell I watched Grudge match and Expendibles in theater so why the hell not.

Yeah, there's no way to go straight from Rocky IV to Rocky Balboa without what happens in V. It brings Rocky back down to earth and sets the stage for where we find him in Rocky Balboa.

Don't you dare say that like it's a bad thing.

F*ck you, now you don't get a Birthday this year.

*chrisdude* · 11-26-2015, 10:43 PM

Did anybody see it? My buddy and I thought it was pretty awesome. I intend to drag my dad to it, tomorrow. The reviews are great, too, if you care about that kind of thing.

*CyberCubed* · 11-26-2015, 10:46 PM

I think the only Rocky movie I've ever seen was the one where he fights the Russian guy. Should I watch all the others?

You already know every patriotic American and film buff must watch the awesomeness that by Rocky! You are missing out on so much, Cubed. Its time Leo656 cultured you on the greatest cinematic sports hero of all-time.

~~Leo656~~ · 11-27-2015, 08:24 PM

When people tell me they haven't seen all the Rocky movies it always takes me a little while to choke down the taste of disgust before I can meaningfully communicate with them again.

Something tells me Cubed would find the first film boring. Call it a hunch.

*MikeandRaph87* · 11-27-2015, 08:32 PM

"Get up and go buy the DVD you sonvamicrochip, because Leo loves ya!"-Leo656

That sums it up.

Since I am not into the concept of Creed tell me one thing, where the heck is his step grandfather Duke Creed and what did Paulie die from? That is all that really interest me.

*XERO* · 11-27-2015, 09:55 PM

I plan on checking it out tomorrow. Updates soon (that is, if I go. lol).

*CyberCubed* · 11-28-2015, 01:19 AM

How many Rocky movies are there? They've been making these since the 80's right? Usually a movie series with this many sequels tends to go downhill so is the quality consistent?

The Terminator and Alien franchise sure wasn't kept good by multiple sequels.

There's been seven in total if you count "Creed"

Rocky V is considered the worst. Rocky IV is cheese personified but has been elevated to godhood by the fandom.
