    I agree completely. The first one has, by far the best story to it.


    Before he got his chance he felt depressed because everything in his life was so run down. He lived in a dirty and small room in the worst part of Philadelphia, his best friend was an alcoholic, his trainer didn't believe in him, he worked as a cheap thug. He had no girlfriend, like no people who cared about him save his turtles (how pathetic is that?). He is aware of that and probably stopped caring about himself too. He's nostalgic and sorry when he thinks about his childhood. He must think something like: "I've gone all the way from promising and happy boy to pathetic loser." There are some good things left in him though. Even though he isn't really the brightest fellow around he has some morals, is an honest man and most of all capable of feeling love and I don't just mean Adrian by that. When he loses his locker at the training center his life has reached a new low. Then, out of nowhere he is asked to fight Creed. When he at last decides to fight, his goal isn't winning, he's not that arrogant, he wants to go the distance because no one else had accomplished that vs Creed. He does it to prove to himself that he is capable of something.

    He got his chance by LUCK, not by trying, but he seized it to regain self esteem. As the movie ends, he has Adrian and himself back, they're not complete losers anymore. There is some hope.

    It's not a ****** movie about the ****** american dream.

    Although I liked the other Rocky movies as well just because Rocky is such a nice guy, they're not anywhere near the quality of part I. Rocky didn't win the Oscar for Best Film by chance.

    (copied that from another forum, it's an interesting synopsis of the film)
    No, it's a great synopsis of the film. K to you.

      LOL i still say number 4 was dope , the training part was amazing ...when he started to skip rope...motivates the **** out of you, the two parts i find the most motivating is the part where he cuts the russian in 3rd round. and the whole training scene...


      i guess the question i should have asked was , which rocky had the best fight ???

        My favourite Rocky was Rocky 2, the training scene wheer Adrian tells him to "win" gets you blood pumping and you just wanna jump out your seat and start hitting the heavy bag or jump rope

          rocky #4 was my favorite , the ****in music was dope , the fight was amazing and it sent a good message ... i also think rocky 3 was tight as hell with mr.T ...but 4 was the best hands down
          I first seen Rocky 1 at the movies when it came out. I was already a boxing fan before then, and I was at that perfect age to get ****** right into the underdog story. I remember jumping out of my seat, and geez did this movie have its hook in me. Went to see it like 10 times at the movies. So Rocky 1 is and always will be my favorite. Then Rocky 2, because it's the rematch and I loved the training scenes...remember Mick trying to make him switch to southpaw...started getting Rocky to think..use his mind...then Rocky 4 again because of the training scenes and kickin' some Russian ass...a Russian who killed his friend....then Rocky 3...I just never really though much about that film..yes Mr. T. seemed very scary but I was a grown man by then...so it just didnt grab me like the others and lastly Rocky 5...IT ******! there is no other disciption...I hope I hope I hope that they can pull off a great one...kinda like leaving boxing on a good note..winning that last major fight and then hanging them up....that would be cool...

              Like some of you, I have read part of the script for Rocky 6. I saw the trailor as well. It is actually being called "Rocky Balboa". From what I read it might actually be the best out of all the Rocky's. It is a whole different kind of Rocky. Adrian is dead and Rocky isn't the happy go lucky fighter we all like so much. Instead he seems to have a little more of a dark side, since Adrian is dead. He has his own restraunt called "Adrians place" or something. He is humiliated when the current champ "Mason Dixon" played by Tarver talks trash about him on TV after a compu fight between the two of them. The compu fight had Rocky winning easily. Rocky then relizes he has some inner deamons decides that he still thinks he has something left "in the basement" he calls it. He explains the whole thing to his son. He explains that he retired on top. And that every great champion deserves a "champions exit". And that he never had the champions exit. So Rocky decides that he want's to compete again. But only small time. Kind of like the begining of Rocky 1 (with spider rico)if you know what I mean. Well as soon as Rocky get his license back.(don't ask me how) The media finds out that Rocky want's to box again. Then you can imagine what happens from there. I also know they filmed several alternate endings and that they still haven't decided exactly how it will end. I know they are also casting Mr-T to come back. That girl from Rocky 1 "Little Marie" she will be in Rocky 6 as well. From what I read, it sounds like it could infact be a great movie. I can't wait to find out.

                By the way, Rocky 3 was my favorite and I think Rocky 6 will be better.
