Hey chump. I need to know..
I've stated before that I think they should have made the first Rocky, and then stopped
seems to me that rocky 2 was just made so rocky could finally win (i think rocky losing made a better story)
rocky 3 was just to do the retirement-comeback thing to fight a bad guy (Mr. t)
rocky 4 was a repeat of the point of rocky 3 but with a Russian bad guy since it was during the cold war
rocky 5 repeated it again, except that time it was someone he trained that became the villain
the final rocky was another retire-comeback thing except this time to fight someone that was just a lot younger
The whole "oh no the odds are against rocky...I wonder if he'll pull it off" thing got old quick
EDIT: by the way, the fact that they never got around to naming the kid until the 5th movie made me think a lot less of the quality of the series lol
