Neither fun nor uplifting - a dismal failure

"As long as they've got Balboa on the brain he'll always be champ. The man fought wars in the ring!"

The original Rocky from 1976 was a masterpiece. Its first follow-up, 1979's Rocky II, was a strong sequel that retained the charms of its exceptional predecessor. Rocky III and Rocky IV followed in subsequent years, and the series deteriorated into a generic, cheesy action movie seri... read more

Bad but not as bad as Rocky IV.

After finding Rocky a successful franchise until Rocky IV and reading about the negative criticism that the fifth instalment received even more than the fourth film, I didn't have very high expectations for this one. After watching it, I understandably realise why people hate but despite it had its bad and cheesy moments, I don't really see what is so awful about Rocky V. I think where it really w... read more

A bad movie

Even though I tend to think that ‘Rocky’ is somewhat overrated (It won the Best Picture Academy Award against such classics like ‘Network’, ‘All the President’s Men’ and above all ‘Taxi Driver’), I still thoroughly enjoyed it and it was one hell of an underdog tale. However, it is such a shame that Sylvester Stallone went on and on with those sequels. I mean, to start with, one o... read more

The one-time champ, Rocky Balboa, has hit rock bottom and winds up in his old Philadelphia neighborhood, broke and ostracized. He trains a young boxer - Tommy Gunn - who turns ingrate.

"27.2. 2019 Stallone himself admitted that he made "Rocky V" out of greed, which is easy to believe. The main characters are way too over the top and campy to be taken seriously. The story is all over the place and all in all the absurd and flashy sequel is devoid of any logic and plausibility. The film introduces us a new villain, an overly enthusiastic young moron who becomes Rocky's protege, but a morally corrupt manager who keeps bothering Rocky is also interested in him. Truth be told, the "

"20.2. Voin myöntää että Rocky V on ensimmäinen ja ainoa Rocky-elokuva, jonka olin nähnyt ennen tätä projektia. Olin kai 7-vuotias kun olen tämän katsonut kaverin tykönä. Elokuva on kyllä sen luokan kamaluus että on ihan ymmärrettävää ettei tästä pahemmin puhuta."
