Great in its own way,
By Dan Blankenship "Author of THE RUNNING GIRL" (Lowell, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rocky V (Widescreen) (DVD)
While I'm not sure this was the closing Rocky film, I believe it should be. And that said, I must point out that this is not intended to be like the other Rocky films. This was a movie about real life; a movie about our relationships with the people who have surrounded us all of our lives - and this film does a great job of making us think about such things.After Rocky returns from Russia, and his kid has aged like five years in a month, he learns that his attorney has stolen all of his money...drats, it's back to the hood for the now brain-damaged boxer (imagine that). Rocky's only possession is Mick's old gym, and it is outside that gym that Rocky meets Tommy Gunn (Tommy Morrison - I think is his real name). Rocky trains him and gets him some big name fights, but has trouble moving fast enough for the immature Tommy Gunn, who decides to hook up with a Don King-like promoter. I'm not telling you anymore...you have to buy the film! Sorry. www.therunninggirl.com

What's wrong with 5?,
By Justin Kennedy (NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rocky V (Widescreen) (DVD)
I will never understand why this movie got such a bad rap. This is my second favorite after Rocky IV. I think the fact that most the movie is Tommy Gunn boxing and not Rocky himself really angered people. I thought it was great though, he actually remains retired but ends up in a street fight with the kid he makes into a contender. It's a great storyline as well between Rocky betraying his son in a way and Tommy Gunn betraying Rocky. If you've avoided this movie just because of what you've heard then see it for yourself, you might just find out how wrong what you heard is.

MY RINGS OUTSIDE,
By "jrizzlefoshizzel" (boise idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rocky V (Widescreen) (DVD)
this is by far one of the most underated films in the history of the world. most people dont like it because they expect it to follow the same format that the previous rocky movie's did. those people dont understand that this is the reason why its the best one of the series.rocky 5 did an outstanding job of getting the viewers to know more about rocky the man instead of rocky the boxer.complex family issues and financal diffaculty affect the once great boxer not to mention a little bit of brain damage so he is forced to move back to the ghetto. where he discovers a talented amature boxer and trains him. at a certin point rocky's own son takes a backseat to tommy gun "rocky's protege". and when the buisness of boxingturns tommy against rocky. rocky discovers what is really important. the last fight is awsome it takes place in the streets and rocky says some of the most memorable one liners ever "i didnt hear no bell one more round" do your self a favor and watch this movie.
