Rocky and Field of Dreams are my 2 all time favorites.
The first Rocky is a classic akin to On The Waterfront.
There were so many sequels that it kind of dilutes the greatness of the original film.
Rocky became a caricature.
Kind of the same way that Elvis became a fat white-jumpsuit wearing caricature to the point where people forget what an amazing voice he had.

this is really not accurate in my opinion. go watch Rocky Balboa again (the one from 2006). that movie has a ton of heart, even if the fight part is unrealistic. Rocky 4 is probably the closest one to him being a "caricature" i guess, but it's still a pretty damn great movie and a fan favorite.
comparing him to fat Elvis is pretty far off IMO

Do you watch 2 movies simultaneously?
I don't see how a sequel dilutes or hurts a prior movie. Only the sequel could be hurt.
For what it's worth, rocky balboa is a great movie in part to how it tied together with the original movie.
None of the other sequels really did that. It doesn't affect the original. But the other sequels lacked opportunity that was grabbed with the balboa release.
