Summary: Outstanding
Review: I bet these Movies that created such fame and a worldwide success for Sylvester stallone are the best productions of MGM. I really enjoyed all the parts in this amazing DVD collection. I mostly liked "Rocky 4" where the hero goes to russia to avenge his friend's death. All in all this collection is really not a waste of money. what more can i say, Just buy it and you'll see what i'm talking about

Summary: Rocky on DVD is a knockout!
Review: The Rocky series is one that gives hope and inspiration to the common man. They are all emotional, and show the life of a 'nobody' who gets the chance to be a somebody and decides to. I have these DVDs and have watched each movie over 5 times.

Rocky: This is the beginning of the saga and my personal favourite. It shows the different stages in his life: his love life, living in a run-down house, his job ("why didn't you break his thumb") and his career as a boxer. We see how he gets a chance and decides to take the chance and try to be no. 1. The thing in Rocky 1 that shows this the best is, I feel, in the fight itself against the champion Apollo Creed. Both men have taken enormous amounts of punishment and Apollo seems to have given Rocky the final shot. The Italian Stallion is down but gets up at about an 8 or 9 count. Rocky is desperate and Apollo stands there and just shakes his head, not believing that Rocky is still going. This shows the desperation of the Stallion, and how he has made the most of his opportunity.

Rocky II: This is a wee bit more predictable than the 1st, but is excellent none the less. Creed has been called a loser so he challenges Rocky to a rematch. In this, you see the emotions of not only Rocky but Apollo Creed too. We see Rocky once again struggle but he fights his way back and takes on Apollo for the title.

Rocky III: Rocky has sold out and has lost sight of the goal of being the best boxer. However, Clubber Lang (Mr. T) has not and he wakes Rocky up. Rocky must once again fight to take back what is his.

Rocky IV: Perhaps one of the most emotional of the series. Rocky avenges the death of his friend and travels to Russia to defend himself, his family, Apollo and the USA! Some would call it propaganda, and it is certainly dated today but it still is a great movie.

Rocky V: This is the weakest of the series. It doesn't feel like a Rocky movie, and there is no definate conclusion. Still, it is not bad and shows Rocky going back to his roots.

I strongly recommend that you check out these DVDs. They make for great viewing that can be watched time and time again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for nostalgia, as well as everythng else
Review: Let it be known first that the first "Rocky" film is my all-time favorite movie. That little tidbit aside, the sequels stand up very well.
This DVD collection is packaged very well, and contains some good special features. All of the extras are contained on the first disc, but it matters little - The Rocky films had a low-budget, insider quality about them, and the inclusion of several unnecessary extras would have taken away from the feel. "Rocky II" is also a very good film in its own right, with Rocky finally winning the title from Apollo Creed. "Rocky III" is, in my opinion, the best of the sequels, with Clubber Lang (Mr. T) challenging Rocky's dominance atop the rankings.
"Rocky IV" is more of a mainstream version of the Rocky story, with a Cold War scenario unfolded on the screen. "Rocky V" is ridiculed by most, but considered by me to be an outstanding end to the series, with a sense of great closure.
Indeed, these films are unbeatable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yo! Adrian!
Review: I have seen all the Rocky movies at least a dozen times each. I cannot help but be inspired them despite the implausibility of the latter films in the franchise. I have ordered the 5-disc set already and I am waiting with baited breath for it to arrive. This is how I rate the films. The original Rocky is obviously the crown jewel of this collection which is why, I assume, it is the only one that has received the 'Special Edition' treatment. It is also the only one that attracted significant Oscar attention (Rocky III was nominated Best Song for 'Eye of the Tiger') and it is quite simply, an endearing tale. A down and out part-time boxer part-time loan collector gets a one in a million shot at the world champion. The story is touching and Stallone was born to play Rocky. Rocky did not need a sequel although it did get one. Rocky II is more predictable than its predecessor and it is slightly less touching as the hubris is turned way up. If it worked the first time...By Rocky III the series had lost any sense of credibility and was quite different from how it started. That's not to say that the film is not a guilty pleasure. It is, and worth owning! My least favorite film is Rocky IV and that is simply because the Cold War Reagan-era jingoism just feels dated. It does have the best training montage in the whole series though. I just wish he had not been fighting a 7 foot, 400 lb. Russian comic book character. The final Rocky film is my second to least favorite. It is simply marred by bad acting and horrible music and lack of a climactic ending (the street brawl seems tacked on and inconclusive) although it does try to bring the series 'down to earth' one last time and back to its roots. I highly recommend all of these films though!
