Well, no HARM, in that the people watching them will go froth at the mouth
and burn the theater down (gotta wait for another Friday the 13th movie for
that). I don't mind sequels -- I enjoyed THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, many of
the Bond Films and all the Trek films (to a varying degree).  I don't even
mind non-mind-taxing diversions (some of my best friends are non-mind-taxing
diversions).  It's just that I find the Rocky series (except for the first
one) boring, because the sequels have been almost exact re-treads of the
first movie, and from the ads, ROCKY IV seems to be no different.  If I want
repeats during the summer, I'll watch Hill Street Blues.  Not to mention,
the preview ads have been hysterically funny.

But, as always, this is just One Man's Opinion...
