The original Rocky is one of the best movies ever made. The others (save the movie that never happened, V) pale in comparison, and like you said are just entertainment.
Because OG Rocky is a love story.
The others are just boxing movies.
People shite on Rocky II as boring but that movie is way more in line with the intent of Rocky than latter ones.
It's about Adrian and Rocky and Rocky trying to be respectable and make a life for himself.

I disagree that its underrated; it's an awesome performance and IMO is widely considered as such.
This is sort of my thinking on it, I thought it was properly rated as fantastic. Also as somebody else said Burt Young was also equally superb. They were both exceptional performances of great characters.

Cut me, Mick. I can't see out there. You gotta open my eye.

Well, I agree that Rocky II is more about love than anything else.
But, Rocky and Rocky IV are about the struggle of life - working towards a goal, win or lose, and doing all the hard things it takes to get you there.
To a degree, Rocky Balboa returned to these themes, with some of the best moments of the series.
Rocky III and V (the odd numbered curse - at least after the original) were bad movies - III the good kind of bad and V the bad kind of bad (cringeworthy) and, in the end, they are essentially boxing movies.
But, Rocky, II, IV and "VI" (RB) are films using boxing to speak about life. Rocky and Rocky IV are arguably 2 of the greatest sports films of all time - and probably the greatest sports films not directly based on real life events, IMHO.

Ivan Drago has to be one of the most intimidating villains ever. I mean did you see how impressive his numbers on the Russian punch machine were?

Its weird that someone would bring up Meredith and then poop on V. The flashback is one of the greatest moments of the series. Even the last fight where Micky tells him to get his arse up and that he loves him gave me chills. Movie could have been better no doubt.
Role I loved Meredith in was grumpy old men. He had me rolling every time he was on the screen..

the scene where Mickey comes to Rocky's apartment, hat literally in hand, to ask to manage him after he found out he got the shot to fight Creed. His remorse and honesty and heartbreak, coupled with Stallone's heartbreak at having never gotten his attention before when he wanted it but really knew he hadn't deserved it...just so damn awesome.
Best scene in the movie. I always felt this was a powerful scene. The original Rocky is by far the best of the series.

If I am flipping channels and Rocky is on...I have to watch through this scene.
My second favorite Burgess Meredith scene... Grumpier Old Men...I just like that story
