[QUOTE="Citizen, post: 265765, member: 6915"] For me personally, Rocky 3-5 are all pretty bad and plagued by bad acting/direction and forced melodrama. The reason why I rank 5 the worst is because it offers nothing to break these things up, it's just boring and Tommy isn't particularly memorable. 3 and 4 at least offer enough over-the-top camp to be somewhat watchable. One positive thing I will say for 5 is that it at least moves away from the "Rocky is a superhero" vibe in 3 and 4. I mean, sure, 3 and 4 say he's weaker, and they have training segments, but they never once make you feel like he isn't going to be the triumphant hero beating the big mean bad guys. That was a bad departure from 1 and 2, and 5 at least moved away from that by presenting him as punchy. In fairness, maybe I should watch it again, it's been about a decade. But for now, I'd rank them 2, Balboa, 1, Creed, 4, 3, 5. [/QUOTE]
