  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Biollante: ok so shouldn't Joe Quesada know that? lol  It made him look a bit stupid imo.
    May 21, 2012, 07:57:37 AM
  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)
    May 21, 2012, 07:23:13 AM
  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

Favorite Rocky movies
« on: April 23, 2008, 08:12:26 PM »
Having fairly recently gotten into the Rocky series, I was wondering which are people's favorites. You may select any 3 of the 6.

Also, James Rolfe (The Angry Video Game Nerd) has reviewed all 6 movies as part of his special event called Rocky Month. You can view them here:

Definitely Rocky Balboa. Out of all the Rocky movies, it's the best.

Actually, it's the only one I've seen so far. :P

I voted for the first 2 Rockys... the only ones I've seen. After that, I felt the franchise fizzled. Also, boththe 1st 2 have GREAT soundtracks!

I haven't watched Rocky Balboa yet. 5 was one of the worst things I've ever seen. 4 was funny because it's such a period piece, with it's Soviet fears. The ending speech by Rocky about peace was also very painful to watch.

I've seen Rocky I and Rocky III, and I liked both.

But, I don't really have the energy to rent the other four.  Not really that big a boxing fan to begin with.

Part 1 of James' original documentary, "Rocky Jumped a Park Bench", is up. It's a tour of the locations where scenes in the movies were filmed:

I'm still a big fan of the first one.

Now - if Dan Parent was the Art Director!  Then THAT would be the best Rocky film ever!  :)

:) I'm starting to figure things out around here :)  Hello Tuxedo Mark!

I have to agree with Tuxedo Mark on the whole Dan Parent thing.  I really dislike his art!

For those of you that haven't seen any or all of the Rocky movies, now's your chance. Superstation WGN is having a marathon of the first 5 films this week, starting tonight.

I rented Rocky Balboa recently and it was okay. Stallone looks like he's had a lot of cosmetic surgery on his face. It was distracting.

The movie was a bit uneven. Rocky has demons in him but he needs to purge them by fighting? Initially, I thought it was that he had to come to terms with the loss of Adrian. How does boxing again help him do that? And what was with the female friend? Is she just a friend or does he have romantic feelings for her?

And the boxing match? Oh boy! He's losing horribly and then his opponent breaks his hand while hitting Rocky?!
