I'll have to see how I feel about V with adult eyes. It's always been my least favorite. Going back and watching I-4 on 4K though, I honestly didn't like 3 or 4 as much as I used to. They are just too far removed from Rocky 1/2 where they feel like a different character.
3 and 4 are a lot of fun as action hero/boxing movies but as a continuation of the the Rocky story, I feel they miss the mark. As an adult, I might appreciate 5 a lot more now since it's a throwback.
I did love Rocky Balboa though. I don't know how I feel about the Director's Cut where Rocky wins. That's just a bit too silly but I'm curious to see how it flows.
I could see watching Rocky 1, 2 and the Balboa as a trilogy and that being a powerful experience. 3-4-5 are pretty inconsequential to the story outside of Apollo.
