Been watching Rocky movies with CF3 jr to get ready for Creed III and I have a hot take.


Of the first 4 Rocky movies, IV is the worst by a lot. The acting is terrible, the story is super predictable and boring, the fight is dumb because there's like 200 knockout level punches. There are 3 montages in the movie, they all suck. The training scene song "Hearts on Fire" is terrible. The crowd turning on their national hero and supporting Rocky is stupid. The scene where Apollo dies is ridiculous, Rocky holds a dying Apollo in his arms as the press crowds around taking pictures- there's not a doctor or paramedic around?

Rocky I and Rocky II are great movies, that have great characters. Rocky III is a good movie but is kind of corny.

People who think they love Rocky IV are either dumb or haven't seen it since they were 12.

pretty hot take, comrade cf3

Pre-teen me LOVED Rocky 4!

Dolph (Hans) Lundgren is an incredibly impressive guy. Intellectually, physically, you name it.

4 is different than 1 and 2, 3 is like 4 but bad, 5 is underrated imo and is more like 1 and 2.

4 is great for what it is, cheezy pro america cold war propaganda. So yeah 1 has superior acting and story, but 4 is just straight fun. And cf3 hates fun so I can see how it doesn't connect with him.

I should watch the creed movies.

Middle aged me still does, and hates the other ones.

Also the crowd didn't turn on Drago they just also supported Rocky.

Can't wait for Knock at the Cabin tonight.  Gonna down some Show me State Vitamin THC and go to town!

It was remarkably average

average almost seems generous

The good moments were really good but there were some dud moments too

I’m the most fun person ever to walk the earth thank you very much

If the montages in rocky iv are terrible I just don't know anything anymore

Right? It's been a long time, but isn't that the training in Siberia montage?

[Cartierfor3]

Unless you’ve watched it in last ten years sit it out.

There’s 5 minutes of Rocky driving around sad and remembering what happened in the other movies.

The Siberia training scene is him running up a mountain in a bomber jacket, and that’s going to help him box how? I mean come on

Ever heard of endurance?

[Cartierfor3]

Guys it’s on Netflix. Just watch it and get back to me.

Did you go to the bathroom or put a kid to bed or something during the rest of the montage

Rocky 4 is one of the few movies I'll always watch if it's on television and it's on a lot.

how about that robot, eh? the future

Cocaine bear Oscar buzz is really picking up

Triangle of Sadness: I don't want to overhype it but man oh man. What a movie

Triangle of Sadness: I don't want to overhype it but man oh man. What a movie

Saw the trailer for that yesterday and it piqued my interest

[Tobias]

it's pretty good!  not great and not remotely subtle for that sort of thing but super enjoyable.  ms tobias has emetophobia and wanted to try watching it as some kind of kroger brand exposure therapy

[mocat]

yeah it's not an all timer, but at the same time, it's perfect?

[Rage Against the McKee]

I watched Triangle of Sadness with my parents. They both hated it, but I enjoyed it. I thought the ending could have been better.

[DQ12]

Rocky IV is funny because CF3 is right: there's a montage like every 5 minutes.  And it's very, very corny.

But come on, it's fun stuff.  IF HE DIES, HE DIES.  IF I'S CAN CHANGE, AND YOU'S CAN CHANGE, EVERYBODY CAN CHANGE!  Maybe RogerEbertFor3 should settle down and not expect Citizen Kane when he watches the pulp fiction East versus West 3rd sequel to a boxing movie.

[ChiComCat]

Rocky IV is basically a parody and it's an absolute blast.
