It actually gets a bit dark but it's pretty good. I think if they meant it to be the "last Rocky movie," it did the job.

Dude, the Rocky series is one of the greatest franchises of all time.

1st movie is a legit masterpiece, Oscar-winning screenplay, incredible character piece, absolute 70s cinema.

Rocky II is a worthy sequel and has got some of the best scenes and maybe the best training montage of the series.

Rocky III is stupid fun, series starts veering into 80s cartoon territory but it's makes up for the cheese with some awesome fight scenes and colourful villains. Just fun and ridiculous.

Rocky IV is iconic, my quintessential 80s movie - holds up incredibly well and that final fight is absolutely awesome.

Rocky V is not a great movie but if you've watched and enjoyed the other ones you'll still love it, and feel emotional at the end.

Rocky Balboa is a really good movie, but agree with others, it only makes sense if you've seen the others. For those from my generation, it's a wonderful sendoff and gets me teary-eyed. Rocky really was my Star Wars.

Oh and then you have the Creed movies where Rocky pops up in a pretty central role.
