Rocky being the first one was great and the Rocky Balboa (6) brought everything full circle. These were the best Rocky movies with the 4 in the middle just taking up space. 1 & 6 both had heart, and I thought they had a very good story to them. The p;ot was excellent.

Firstly there are only 5 sequels. Rocky being the original and the 5 sequels followed.
Rocky 3 was the most popular.

I guess Hollywood and movies really do go hand-in-hand, don't they? Even though some movies aren't produced in Hollywood!♥ I honestly thought Stallone was much better in Rambo than he was in Rocky. Rocky, to me, was overly dramatic for a boxing movie, whereas, Rambo had so much more action in it. I really enjoyed Rambo much more than Rocky and all of the sequels. There are only so many sequels that you can do in a particular type of movie, I think. And when I think of boxing movies, I think of bigger people than what Stallone played when he was in Rocky. And to make him look like he was sooo dumb really kind of got irritating after a while, in my own humble opinion.But everyone likes what they like, right?!

I really think 6 all though it wasnt nominated for anything will become a classic.
Like Rocky 1 it was a story of heart. The other 4 really lacked the heart for fighting.
