Dude, no kidding. 

Look at how rocky 1 and 2 were like actual movies... with drama.

Then look at the cover of rocky 3....

Here's my problem with II, and why it ranks last with me in the first 4. They never make Rocky seem like intelligent, but he throws around his words of wisdom. In II they made his character flat out stupid, and illiterate. Most of the movie is Adrienne  telling him not to have the rematch with Apollo, and just being annoying. The only real enjoyable parts are when Adrienne wakes out of her coma, and tells him she wants him to fight. After that we get a quick, but good training montage, and an excellent fight scene.

 

Edit: Rocky II was actually the first Rocky movie I watched.

Same here. Sat through it twice in the theater back in the days when that was possible.

Thats why the later arc kills me.

Rocky went from dumb as shit but loveable, to sophisticated in 3 and 4, to retard and annoying in 5.

Like do certain hits knock something loose or back in place in his brain?

My favorite fictional character of all time... 

I liked them all, but liked 2 the least and 4 was pretty cheesy.

Best opening was 3 with Eye of the Tiger blaring.
