Ranking the Rocky movies

Rating: Null/10 (22 June 2001)

Ok, take my word when I say that I have seen all of the Rocky movies at least 100 times each. I absolutely love them all! A lot of people love to analyze them and say which one is the best and which one is the worst, so here is my total, honest opinion on each.
Rocky 1: The good: Awesome, original musical score. Excellent acting by Stallone, Shire, Meridith, Young, and Weathers. Awesome characterization of Rocky Compelling love story between Rocky and Adrian. Superb setting of Philly.
The bad: This is the action fan's least favorite, which is fine, but you can not watch this movie after viewing Rocky 4. Also, of all the Rocky movies, this is IMO the hardest to watch over and over again. This movie also has the weakest fight scene, but let's be fair, it was 1976.
Overall rating out of 5. 4, just for the excellent story and excellent acting.
Rocky 2:
The good: Picks up just where 1 left off, and has the same feel and setting. The characters stay the same, and the development of each is awesome! The love story continues! 2 awesome traning scenes, especially the first, and the fight scene is totally rocking! The bad: How bad is Rocky is the commercials? Umm, that baby is really ugly! The hospital scenes are kinda long and tedious!
Overall rating: 4 and 1/2: This sequal rocks and gets your blood pumping quicker!
Be back later with 3,4, and 5.
