3, 2, Creed I, Creed II, 1, Rocky Balboa, 4, 5.
3 has the best plot in my opinion. 4 is alot of peoples favorite but the robot and the general story really didn't interest me. Creed movies are super great but 3 and 2 are the best.
Thank god they took a break after 5.

When I was in high school, I got pretty sick one week, and TNT was playing one Rocky a day (there were only five back then). On Friday I was feeling better, but faked I was still sick to finish the series. When I was done with 5, I kinda wished I'd gone to school that day...

V is just awful. Like beyond bad. Rocky is a classic, but 2 always annoys me because the first 25 minutes are the last 25 minutes of 1. 3 falls flat for me, pretty much entirely. 4 is such a weird Cold War artifact, not a great movie but it reminds me of being a kid (saw it in the theater). My friend and I have a running joke/dream to have an Apollo prequel. I feel like that’s the better story.

Creed 2 over Rocky 1 is the hottest take.

@Corycm was trying to get my wife on the Rocky train and that intro to Rocky 2 just killed all the momentum. They should’ve known about binge watching back in the 70s

Rocky III was the first in the series that I saw in the theater, so it will always have a special place for me. Most of the films that follow it in the series kind of follow the beats of “III”. I think it has the best training montage as well.

I'll always love Rocky I the most. Saw it in the theater when it when it came out....I was 10 I think? Always disliked IV and V and haven't seen any of the Creed movies, I guess I should. I like Rocky II quite a bit and it has Mickey's awesome "what are we waitin' fer?!?" when Adrian says "win!"

Also...in each of the first three, the banter between Rock and Mick in the corners has a few great lines.
"Don't let it bother you."
"Would it bother you?"
"Yeah"
"Don't let it bother you."
"Would it bother you?"
"Yeah"

I’ve always felt Rocky II drags a bit in places. The bit where Adrian is in the hospital goes on a bit too long for me. It gets good once she wakes up.
