Rock IV was awful. The story sounds interesting on paper. More down to Earth, bringing it back to its roots. But it didn’t come across that way. And what was the point of Rocky sticking to his principles so he wouldn’t get more brain damaged, just to fight anyways...for no money?
There was nothing good about that film except for the Mickey flashback.

That you don't like it doesn't change the fact that Rocky IV is one of the more popular films in the franchise, next to the original Rocky and Rocky III. But everyone hates Rocky VI and while Rocky II isn't hated, it isn't fondly remembered either so it's probably the most neglected one in the franchise.
Rocky IV gets criticized a lot for back to back musical montages, and for going in a more unrealistic direction. For me though, it's one of my favorites. The original Rocky is obviously the best, and a very good dramatic film. Rocky IV is almost like an action film but I really like it. They were all highly enjoyable except for Rocky V. There are films that represent the best of the 90s and Rocky V seems to represent the worst of that decade.

I beg to differ. Cars 3 is an abomination. I can’t even tell what kind of audience would like it. It has a plot no one could possibly care about.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch is my answer to the thread’s question. It literally is a black sheep by being a complete departure from the rest of the franchise. I love it, but it’s definitely an outlier and I can see why some didn’t like it.

Final Wars aside, I never really considered GINO as part of the canon.

Black Sheep is the Black Sheep of the Chris Farley/David Spade movies.
