Summary: Wheres the subtitles?
Review: Well, noone needs my review on the movies themselves, you obviously like them because your here. That said, I just finished watching Rocky 4 in widescreen format, and there were no subtitles while Drago was talking. I dont know if this holds true on the regular format. Just thought it might be worth mentioning.

Summary: We love ya ROCK!!!!! We just HATE Rocky V!!!!!!!!
Review: Any diehard Rocky fan will know what I mean,this is the bottom line Rocky 1-4 EXCELLENT!!!!!! Rocky 5 a complete con job from start to finish, here are my problems with the movie: 1. This Don King type clown George Washington is a total insult to the movie,the character is 1 thing = DUMB 2. Adrian is way to annoying,she was actually a intresting character in the 1st 4 movies now to tell me she would rather live in some broken down neighborhood borders on the ridiculous 3. This Union Cane character a COMPLETE CLOWN!!!!!!!!!! 4. This Tommy Gunn character is a even BIGGER CLOWN!!!!!!!!!!!! 5. Rocky's son played by Sage Stallone is the worst and most miscast character I have seen in a movie since Sofia Coppola was cast in Godfather 3 and we all know how that turned out. 6. The movie itself is a complete embrassment to the 1st 4 films any real Rocky fan knows this,it's only saving grace and I mean only is the Elton John song "Measure of a Man" that plays at the end of the movie,the song is slammin!!!!!!!

Summary: Balboa does it again!!!
Review: Rocky: This story of a two-bit fighter who gets his ``million-to-one shot'' for fame, and self-respect, in a championship bout is impossible to dislike, even though it's just an old B-movie brought up to date. Knowing that the film was a similar do-or-die project for writer-star Stallone added to its good vibes. Oscar winner for Best Picture, Director, Editing (Richard Halsey, Scott Conrad). Followed by four sequels.Rocky V: The one-time champ has hit rock bottom (again). He winds up in his old neighborhood, broke and ostracized (again). He trains a young boxer who turns ingrate, and in spite of his own brain damage (from the fight in ROCKY IV) is willing to risk everything on another bout. Again. You pays your money, and you gets what you expects in this Stallone screenplay, but seriously, folks, the thrill is gone. That's Stallone's real-life son in the role of Rocky, Jr. Rocky II: Officially a sequel, this slightly silly film is more of a rehash, but the climactic bout (and buildup to it) hits home. Rocky IV: Totally artificial (and unnecessary) sequel has Rocky doin' what a man's gotta do--avenging a friend's demise and fighting for the U. S. A. (and world peace) against a superhuman Russian champ. Still and all, Stallone knows how to milk a formula and press all the right buttons, especially in a great training montage. Rocky III: T. Here, the Italian Stallion (Stallone) is trained by Apollo Creed (Weathers) after being dethroned by obnoxĂ ious Clubber Lang (Mr. T). Stallone's got a winning formula, but enough already.

Summary: People, these are good movies
Review: Rocky I - Great movie. This movie really shows where Rocky came from. I think this movie was made in the mid 70's. This movie would still be a hit today. It shows how Rocky begins to find out his greatness and also how a love story will grow between him and Adrian. Rocky II - In my opinion, the second best movie of the set. Rocky gets the chance to avenge his first fight with Apollo Creed. Definitely, this movie has one of the most inspiring workouts after a traumatic event in Rocky's life. The intense, action-packed ending always makes me emotional. To see Rocky fulfill his promise to his wife is really special. Rocky III - This movie is the only one that I fill did not live up to the hype. It still has a great training sequence and an unbelievable fight. (Clubber Lang trained harder, but still lost?) That's ok. Rocky still fights with himself on many issues and it shows when he hooks up with Apollo Creed. Rocky IV - THE VERY BEST MOVIE. Rocky has to avenge the his friend's unfortunate loss. The series of events that unfold in the middle of the movie is very gripping. There is a reason why TNT/TBS has this movie on seemingly once a month. The training sequence is excellent. The fight, although a little hard to believe when you compare Rocky's fight with Apollo's, is one of the longest and heart-wrenching fights he has. Rocky V - Ok. This movie saddened me. Rocky could have come a little better for the last movie. Rocky should have lost the title in a fight or something. There are not too many champions who leave boxing on a winning note. They usually retire and come back again. Rocky's unfortunate life turns are a realistic alternative to losing a fight, but this movie lacks the big fight that it needed. Micky, his trainer, and Apollo, his nemisis and friend, were gone. Yea, Rocky fought someone at the end- but it wasn't the same. The training sequences that held up Rocky II, III and IV, was not here. So, basically, the movie ended on a bad note. I am a huge Rocky fan. I think that the movies II, III, and IV were excellent. Rocky I and V were a little weak in comparison, but still they had Stallone doing his bit. This is an excellent set to have. How many five movie sports movie sets do you know of that still are shown on network tv?

Summary: Couldn't be a better movie collection
Review: The Rocky movie collection is the greatest set of movies of all time. Although people may find the IV and V Rocky's a little weak (obviously, it was impossible to live up to the other three's standards, the collection as a whole is spectacular. Rocky combines drama, romance, action, and comedy in one package. This collection is a must have for all boxing fans, Rocky fans, Stallone fans, people from Philly, or just plain old movie collectors. This collection is nearly impossible to find in stores, so if you have been looking for it, now is the time to get it, before the legend is gone forever. This movie is for everyone, you will not be disappointed.

Summary: A great "feel-good" movie series comes to DVD
Review: People may well go on about how Raging Bull is the best boxing film ever made, and certainly it may be the most realistic, but for me John G Avildsen's Rocky will never be equalled. The fight scenes in the original are just as realistic as Raging Bull (yes, really they are!), and it was only from Rocky II onwards that the boxing sequences became more over the top, with the punches sounding like Stallone's fist was an axe connecting with a tree. Having said that, the sequels all have their strong points. Story wise, the series always kept it's feet on the ground, apart from the comic-book style of Rocky IV, the only chapter to really feel out of place. II comes close to matching the original, but as we know that Stallone has to win the rematch, it's not nearly as engrossing. III is the best sequel, with superb direction from Stallone, and a strong script that sees Rocky settling for the easy life at the top before it comes crashing down around him. IV as I said is the most over the top, but even this chapter works thanks to a great score, magnificent training sequences, and a superbly edited fight between Stallone and Dolph Lundgren. V is the second best sequel, with Avildsen returning to the director's chair in an honourable attempt at recapturing the feel of the original. Stallone's second best portrayal of the Rocky character, it remains the most under-rated of the series. This DVD box-set should be a stunner. We already know it looks great, and that the original Rocky is going to have many special features. It's a shame though that it appears that the sequels will not have such extensive special features, meaning we probably won't get to see the cut scene from Rocky IV when Rocky is told by the boxing commission that they refuse to sanction the fight with Ivan Drago. Still, it remains a box set that will be a must have. Go for it!

Summary: The Greatest Series Of Films Ever Made
Review: What can I say about Rocky? These films are not only entertaining to watch, but they change you as a person. I don't think anyone can sit through these films and not become motivated to go out and punch someone's lights out. Not only that, but the emotion, the reality and all the rest can not be beaten. My favourite films, my favourite characters. ROCKY 4 EVER!!!... Go For It! Buy the pack. It's the best money you'll ever spend!
