The first is a great film! The next two are pretty good. Can’t say about the last three, though from what I’ve heard about the 6th, I don’t think I want to see an old and doddering Rocky.
Yes, hardly bombs. They all had a degree of commercial success, with the most successful hitting blockbuster numbers. The first one also had a great deal of critical success, and I believe that the second one was also viewed favorably. The sequels definitely repeated the same formula ad nauseum, but if you didn’t take them too seriously (or watch them too closely together), they were nonetheless entertaining.
The first Rocky won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and was the highest grossing film of the year. Hardly a bomb. As some of the previous posters have mentioned, there are plenty of film series that would have been better suited to this joke. How about Scary Movie?

The first one was pretty good. Only one I would re-watch.

I actually like all of them, but the first is definitely the best.

How about the “Look Who’s Talking” flicks?

I didn’t like the last one too much.

I’m proud to say I’ve never seen a Rocky movie.

Years ago I would see Sly and Susan Anton at the boxing here in Vegas.

Gosh, I only remember 3. It must not have been interesting enough for me to see the last 3.
