Good Points: Watching these films is simply addictive fun. The Rocky story will not only inspire you, but will make you laugh and cry too, each film is boosted by a magnificent soundtrack. Having all five movies is a real treat, but very time consuming!!

Bad Points: Rocky 5 is terrible, I put my copy in the bin and tippexed out the Rocky V on the box cover. Casting his real-life son was a real error on Sly's part and the script, plot, acting and direction throughout the movie is a disgrace. For me the whole Rocky saga ended with his win on Christmas day in Moscow.

General comments: The full Rocky Balboa story has been a favourite of mine since childhood. My brothers and me were greatly inspired by the movies and the soundtracks are just amazing. When the training sequences began and the music kicked in, all five of us would vigorously mimic Rocky's training regime. We would then spar each other with renewed gusto. These films seemed to increase our adrenalin to near dangerous levels and kids would start running up stairs and all over the place, with others doing sit-ups or attempting to bench-press weights which were far too heavy. I believe their is something for everyone to enjoy here so go out and buy your box set today folks!!
