Dont worry guys if kids watch the Saga 1-6 these days, they will change their opinion when they are older.
When I was growing up, the days before I had a VCR, I only had Cable TV and HBO to see the movies after they came out in the theater. I saw Rocky II before Rocky I, I saw Temple of Doom before Raiders, and I saw Jaws 2 before Jaws, and also saw Superman II before Superman I.
For many years, those were my favorites of the series, simply because I saw them so many times on HBO. I used to think Rocky I was boring and Rocky II was the cooler movie. I used to think that Superman II was better then I, same with Temple of Doom because it had more action.
Probably around Highschool I started changing my views. Of course now I can say that Rocky I, Raiders, Superman I, and Jaws are the elites of their movie series. So have faith guys, kids are kids, and what they like will change as they get older.
