Ok, I watched this set I borrowed from a friend and the picture isn’t as bad as everyone says it is. Somewhere someone said they felt like they were watching a VHS tape…give me a break! While they obviously could have done a better job cleaning these up, they are for sure better than the DVD versions. But it’s still a decent transfer…I’m sure there they will eventually be completely remastered.
As for those of you complaining about the price droppings…have you noticed the significant drop overall in blu-ray pricing? Now the blu-ray is becoming more mainstream, the prices are coming down! If there are no advantages to pre-ordering, then don’t get it! Everyone has had a situation where they paid for something and later saw it cheaper and lost a few bucks. Amazon is still cheaper than going out to Best Buy or Wal-mart and getting it. Factor in that the majority of Amazon users don’t have to pay tax and can have the items shipped to you for FREE, then that is even more in savings. So again, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it!

Finally, the Rocky set has made it to blu ray. I have been a fan of Sylvester Stallone since I was a kid.(I am now 39.) I already have the complete Rambo collection on blu ray and it is great to finally have the Rockys.
The quallity of each movies are much better than the previous dvds. The sound is superb. I have a 76 inch flatscreen tv and surround sound and I’ll tell you the quallity of the blu rays make me feel like I’m watching all of them in the theater again. Awesome! If you have a blu ray player, buy these. Much better than dvd.
If I was to complain about any one thing it would be this- Where are the Director’s cut of each one? That is why it is getting 4 stars out of 5. The movies themselves and the blu rays are 5 stars.
Thank you Amazon for very fast delivery. 5 stars

This is a great buy, the picture doesen’t look that much better then the dvd but if you don’t own it yet and you have a Blu-Ray it’s worth the money. It’s also cheaper then the dvd collection in stores. If you have any other question please comment and i’d gladly reply.

When I was 13 my brother took me to the drive in to see Rocky. I was hooked and have been a Stallone fan ever since.
I have the DVD boxed set as well as the cable HD broadcast, and now I have the Bluray box set. Let me start by saying I haven’t watched all the movies in the BD set, just the first one. It is by far the worse picture quality of any versions I currently have. Even the aspect ratio isn’t the same as the theatrical release. Seeing that the first movie is by far the best, and an academy award winning movie- I would have expected it to have gotten the royal treatment and to look the best. Even if the rest in the set look great, this is a major disappointment, at least to me.
I know some have said in their review that the PQ wasn’t that bad so I don’t know, maybe there were bad discs released but I doubt it. Mine have so much grain and noise I took the disc to another player to make sure something hadn’t gone wrong with my bedroom BD player. It was just as bad. Actually it looked worse. In the bedroom I have a 32″ HDTV and downstairs I have a 55″ HDTV and a 106″ projector system. The bigger you go the worse it looks because all that awfulness gets blown up bigger. I’d never watch this on my projector yet this is one of my favorite movies and exactly the type of content I use the projector for.
I know this sounds pretty negative but the picture quality really is that bad, at least for my set. I know the price was great, but if you are expecting Bluray picture quality you will be very disappointed. This is a bad value at half the price…

Five stars for the movies, yet for being a special collection, I was hoping for more bonus features. The bonus disc that comes with it is nice, but there are no bonus features on Rocky 1-5, not even audio commentary. Oh well, still great movies and I got them for dirt cheap. Gotta love Rocky!
