Re: Rocky VI Underway
Whoa...lets slow down here. Nobody is insinuating Rocky V is anywhere near as entertaining as Rocky IV. IMO, Rocky IV is definitely the most rewatchable of all five (Rocky III is close behind). It does have its merits, however.

Re: Rocky VI Underway
No. Rocky is definitely a great movie, but it has to spend so much time on character development and the Rocky/Adrian romance that it is a chore to tune into the end. Rocky IV, on the other hand, benefits from already having all of its characters well-defined, and can jump right into fantastic subplots like Rocky's kid aging 10 years in one movie, Rocky and Apollo becoming best friends, James Brown's showstopping tour de force, and Paulie getting a robot.

Of course The Seven Samurai is a better movie than Office Space, yet I feel the urge to watch Office Space much more often. Swede

For instance, "Apocalypse Now" is a great movie, but I'd much rather watch "Road House" for the 782nd time when I'm sitting around with friends drinking a few beers.

Re: Rocky VI Underway
The 2nd round of the fight simply makes Rocky IV a classic.
If you don't get chills watching Rock pummel the Russian after the bell rings, followed by each corner storming the ring & throwing chairs...well, that's just good cinema. "He's cut! The Russian is cut and it's a bad cut!"
