In a way, this is the best one.


It's like a mix of the spectacle from Rocky IV as well as the strong story/character elements from the first two.

Not sure if it’s the best, but for me it’s fun to rewatch. I’d argue Clubber Lang was the best villain of the series, he had a bunch of great lines.

I hear what you're saying. 3 and 4 have such a fun factor to them. They are easily the most watchable of the whole series. I've seen them more than any of the others, even the original. They are always my go to whenever I'm in the mood for Rocky.

The re-watchability factor is there with III and I'm watching it right now-I agree, it's very good👍

At this point I think they really embraced the 80's overload and went for it but still had a little substance too. Rocky IV was more like an extended music video with all the montages and flashbacks.
