I think people forget that both Rocky and First Blood (the first Rambo film) were both considered exellent films in their day. Rocky won the academy awards for Best Picture, Director, and Editing. It got nominated for Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor (twice), Best Screenplay, Best Music, and Best Sound.
It's easy to forget that when both films are getting whored out for multiple sequels.
