Summary: My favorite Sylvester Stallone films!
Review: Rocky is a movie that won over the hearts of many americans. It has action,drama, and a little bit of romance but not much. The films are based on a underdog fighter named Rocky Balboa and how he fights his way to become the heavy weight champion of the world. Rocky the first one was based on the first time Rocky faced the heavy weight champion. Rocky 2 was kind of the same thing but a little bit different. Rocky 3 was when Rocky had to faced a hard hitting fighter from Chicago named Clubber Lang ( Mr.T). Rocky 4 is when Rocky's friend Appollo Creed the former heavy weight champion of the world is killed by a 6 ft. 6 in. Russian named Ivan Drago and Rocky must travel to Moscow to face this mountain of muccle this movie is my favorite because it has the hardest hits that make you want to say ouch! Rocky 5 kind of stunk because rocky didn't even fight a great fighter in fact he didn't even fight until the end which was with his new student Tommy Gunn who wasn't really a great fighter. So I would get this so that way you could follow the whole series but I say Rocky 4 is the best.

Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: Best Movie Ever is Rocky 4
Rating: 
Summary: Your mileage will vary
Review: These movies are really a part of popular culture. While they are often looked at as "guy" movies, quite a few of us Ladies enjoy Sly Stallone as the Italian Stallion! Allow me to take a brief look at each film:Rocky I: Must I say the first is the best? This is a very well-written movie, and also well acted. Stallone received two Academy Award (aka Oscar) nominations. Works like a charm after all these years. 5 stars (out of 5) Rocky II: This began the wholly unnecessary- yet always entertaining- string of sequels. This is nearly a remake of the first film, pitting Rocky against Apollo Creed yet again. Still a great fight sequence, and lots of soapy drama. 3 stars Rocky III: Here is where the formula really took hold- arguably the most influential of the series, as far as spawning copycats (like The Karate Kid, to name but one). Stallone essentially stops playing Rocky and plays a version of himself. Much slick and glossier than it's predecessors, this remains extremely entertaining- holding up to repeated viewings probably better than Part II. 3 1/2 stars Rocky IV: Pure formula. The untimely demise of a main character... The requisite songs by Survivor... The obligatory "big argument" with wife Adrian... Ultimately still watchable, but threadbare. The Russian vs. U.S. antics are laughable. 1 1/2 stars Rocky V: Surprisingly strong entry, much better than Part IV, possibly even III! Stallone re-enlists original director John G. Avildsen and sends Rocky back to his old Philly neighborhood and breaks from the tried and true formula, managing to inject some new life into the series and go out (for now, anyway) on a high. 3 1/2 stars Special features junkies will find this boxset lacking, as only the first film is given the "Special Edition" treatment. I'm not a big fan of features, but even I have to admit that the 30 minutes of video commentary from Sly was pretty nice.

Summary: The American Movie
Review: The Magic that was Rocky, it lives again in a boxed set! I'm watching them with my kids, who've never seen them. Each time I see the training "Gonna Fly Now" segment, I get cold chills and I find myself bobbing up and down with Rock's one hand push-ups...and when he runs the steps victorious, I stand and jump with him. I cry at the end when I hear ADRIAN! Rocky II does not disappoint, though it doesn't approach III. Rocky's "Eye of The Tiger" when he gets the spark back to defeat Clubber Lang is pure genius. Of course Rocky becomes the larger than life symbol of America in IV, and it's back to the streets in V. I'm looking forward to VI! Never has their been a more inspirational, motivational, feel good movie. Rocky may well be THE AMERICAN MOVIE. Did I mention that I love it? The boxed set is the way to go folks. This movie dynasty is an national treasure! I'll watch it with my grandchildren one day.

Summary: Win Rocky Win!
Review: The classic Rocky series is on DVD, and as such has successfully achieved the immortality it deserves. However, for a 5-disc "Collector's Set," these DVDs are so bare-bones and devoid of features that they wouldn't be worth the purchase if they were by themselves unless you were an absolute hardcore Rocky fan. The only DVD with extras on it is Rocky I. There is no 'deleted footage' that I noticed integrated into the movie, nor is there any list of deleted scenes. There are a few short documentaries and that's about it. Disappointment aside, the transfer of the movies is great. I'll break down each movie for you: Rocky I: A small-time bar-room brawler gets his shot at fame and glory when Undisputed World Champion Apollo Creed(Carl Weathers) decides to give a local underdog a 'big chance' when the #1 contender for the title suffers an injury. What follows is a moving and inspiring story about Rocky Balboa, a genuine nobody working as a "collector" for a loan-shark. When Rocky hears of Apollo's challenge, he turns to legend Mickey Goldmill(Burgess Meredith) to help, despite a falling out the two of them had previously. An exciting and inspiring training montage followed by one of the best boxing matches in fictional history tops off a classic that's been deemd 'An American Tradition.' Rocky II: Every bit as good as Rocky I, if not better. Rocky goes the distance...15 rounds with Apollo Creed, something that the champ has never encountered. After receiving bad press and hate mail based on the decision in favor of Apollo, Creed takes it upon himself to instigate a now retired Rocky to come out and face him one more time. The confident champion thinks he'll beat Rocky in less than 2 rounds. But a much more determined and head-strong Rocky proves to be quite a match for Apollo. Now married to Adrian(Talia Shire) and having recently been gifted a newborn son, Rocky takes his training to the next level in yet another inspiring and energizing training montage, followed by a fight that nearly rivals the first! Rocky III: Having defeated Apollo and gaining the World Heavyweight title, Rocky has a series of successful defenses for 3 straight years. However, fame and fortune goes to his head, and Rocky is completely unprepared for a fight with the most brutal and merciless opponent he had ever faced: Clubber Lang(MR. T in his debut movie role). Beaten within an inch of his life in a humiliating 2 round KO, Rocky experiences a terrible heartbreak as Mickey suffers from a heart attack and passes away. A much more cool-headed and respectable Apollo Creed is saddened to see Rocky, the man who retired him(and ultimately was created by him), lose heart and give up, and inspires him to rise up against Clubber Lang in a rematch. Apollo becomes his trainer and helps Rocky regain the 'Eye of the Tiger' to defeat Clubber Lang and recover his glory. Definitely the last great movie in the series (and fan favorite among many) Rocky IV: Clubber Lang nearly ended Rocky's career, but an exhibition match with Soviet powerhouse Ivan Drago leaves Apollo Creed dead in the ring, and Rocky overwhelmed with grief. Rocky goes to Russia to train hard and fight quite possibly the deadliest boxer in the world. The serires goes downhill from here, as random silliness (such as Paulie's robotic maid)just bring the film's quality down. Like Sly's other franchise Rambo, Rocky IV is a very anti-soviet film, but it culminates with a patriotic and powerful message that the East and the West can live in peace. Rocky V: The series hits its lowest point. Rocky suffers irreversible and possibly terminal brain damage from his fight with Drago. When he returns home, Rocky finds that Paulie entrusted the family riches to a crooked bookie who loses everything, forcing Rocky into life-long debt, selling everything he owns and moving back to the slums of Philadelphia. Forced to retire from the ring, a big time promoter in the vain of Don King tries to get him back in, but instead Rocky takes hotshot youth Tommy Gunn under his wing. Tommy is lured away by the promoter and insults and taunts Rocky, leading to a final street fight. The film sort of ruins Rocky's fame and glory, returning him to his roots. It wasn't necessary and could've been done quite differently. So there you have it...all the DVD's are devoid of extras, other than theatrical trailers. Rocky I has a few extras but nothing particularly noteworthy. In any case, if youare even REMOTELY a Rocky fan, do NOT pass this up! Rocky is indeed an American Tradition and is an inspiring and poignant saga of a man who went from rags to riches in the name of glory and determination.

Review: I have always loved the rocky movies, particularly Rocky IV. The DVD set gives special footage of the first movie and an interview with the man who created the Italian Stallion, Sylvester Stallone! Each DVD also contains the movie trailers from that particular Rocky movie! The greatest movie franchise of all time is finally on DVD, and I highly recommend this set to ANYONE!

Summary: What counts in life.
Review: These movies must be viewed and judged as a whole experience. In every situation, words and feelings shown there is a lesson of life and an understanding that what's really important overall is love,determination and contentment. Watch them more than ones and pay attention to what is happening, open your mind and you will see the light.

Summary: excellent but one big flaw.
Review: I'll get to the flaw later on. rocky- great but not the best in the series and not th best fight for balboa either but still enjoyable. rocky 2- this was really what the first movie should have been. rocky vs. appollo is far better in this one than in the first rocky flick, with one of the best lines ever to end a movie. rocky 3- the second best rocky movie, apollo this time plays the role of rocky's trainer after micky dies. But oddly enough for this to be the 2nd best rocky movie, the fights are a bit short...but you get about 3 fights which is more than the usual. rocky vs. thunderlips(hulk hogan) in some charity bout was fairly entertaining, rocky vs. clubber lang(mr.t)1 was good but way to short, as was rocky vs. clubber 2. Plus you gotta love that eye of the tiger song. rocky 4- i dont really get why alot of people thought rocky 4 was [was not good], it was without a doubt the very best rocky movie, apollo vs. ivan drago(dolph lundgrin) was good but short and apollo died which was shocking to me, i could understand him getting brutalized big time and gets brain damage but come on, they made apollo look like a total [wimp]. This rocky also has alot of catchy songs to it which also make it great, and of course the bout in russia between rocky and drago is simply the best fight of all the rocky films. rocky 5- here's the big flaw i was talking about, they should of stopped at rocky 4. Now rocky has given up the title, lives in a dump, at odds with his son, having problems with his wife, a drunk, and so punchy you can hardly undestand a word he's saying. He trains this punk kid who wins the title, but people think he is some push over champ who will never be the next rocky, so the punk turns on rocky...blah blah blah, the punk gets whipped in a street fight by rocky...and all in all this is the worst rocky fight ever. but it's still good just to get closure to the rocky saga.

Summary: rocky box set
Review: well the rocky box set is quite fantastic im not really a good fan of stallone but rocky 1 2 3 4 and5 is an amazing story about a man who started from scratch he was a bum and quite a stupid one in fact.
its about a man who falls in love with a women named adrian and later on in the next movie rocky2.
it is in theis moviethat he has the antciateed rematch with the greatest boxer known apollo creed.
After he wins he is later in rocky 3 beaten by Clubber Lang played by none other by Mr T. Apollo Creed jumps in to train rocky to help recover his eye of the tiger and eventually wins his title back.
Then in Rocky 4 rocky faces Drago to avenge Apollo Creeds life who was killed in an exhibition match.
Taking place in siberrea in russia rocky being the american wins.
Then in the 5th rocky returns from russia to find he is broke he then trains a young boxer named tommy gun.
Then tommy turns on rocky and the two fight in the street rocky wins and that is the whole rocky story.If my review isnt ood its coz im only 14 yearsolso dont be to harsh
