Mark Birrell at ScreenRant looked at Metacritic ratings for all eight Rocky movies. I thought it would be interesting to compare Metacritics’ rankings with mine. Your mileage may differ.

Ranking All Eight Movies in ‘Rocky’ Series

Craig / April 4, 2020April 3, 2020 / 2020, Creed, Creed 2, Rocky, Rocky 2, Rocky 3, Rocky 4, Rocky 5, Rocky Balboa

Peter Botte at the New York Post took on the task of Ranking All Eight Movies in ‘Rocky’ Series with his comments. I thought it would be interesting to compare Botte’s rankings with mine.

Botte	Zablo
1. Rocky (1976)	1. Rocky (1976)
2. Creed (2015)	2. Rocky Balboa (2006)
3. Rocky II (1979)	3. Creed (2015)
4. Rocky III (1982)	4. Rocky III (1982)
5. Creed II (2018)	5. Creed II (2018)
6. Rocky Balboa (2006)	6. Rocky II (1979)
7. Rocky IV (1985)	7. Rocky IV (1985)
8. Rocky V (1990)	8. Rocky V (1990)

So, what do you think? (And for those of you following closely, my rankings have changed just a bit since the last time I did this!)

Character Cards from All Rocky Films!

Craig / September 27, 2019September 26, 2019 / 2019, Creed, Creed 2, Fan Art, Rocky, Rocky 2, Rocky 3, Rocky 4, Rocky 5, Rocky 6

I really like these Rocky character cards. It seems like they might be for a role-playing game but I’m not sure. Anyone know?
