I know it's controversial, but I believe Rocky V is the best Rocky movie since Rocky II. They tried a lot of new things, and payed off a lot of things from the previous movies. If they were to do another Rocky fights someone in the ring movieI know it's controversial, but I believe Rocky V is the best Rocky movie since Rocky II. They tried a lot of new things, and payed off a lot of things from the previous movies. If they were to do another Rocky fights someone in the ring movie it would have been what we already have seen. Instead they try something new and give us a movie were he trains someone instead of Rocky being trained. I won't spoil anything, but it doesn't go the way you think. The end fight was original and something we haven't seen in the series. Although that's were I will start with my negatives about the movie. I like what the did at the end, but I thought it was drawn out for way too long, and it got to the point of being unrealistic. There was also some really weird editing choices at the end. Also some of the acting was not good at all. Other than that I really enjoy Rocky V, and believe it's a good way to close the main series.… Expand

For true Rocky fans I feel they get it. Yes its hard to compare to Rocky 4 but in my opinion that is the best in the franchise. Now I know everyone wanted to see Rocky traing then in tue ring which could have easily beendone but they decidedFor true Rocky fans I feel they get it. Yes its hard to compare to Rocky 4 but in my opinion that is the best in the franchise. Now I know everyone wanted to see Rocky traing then in tue ring which could have easily beendone but they decided to go in a differnt direction. In Rocky one he was a loan shark with no money this movie returns Rocky to his roots and "the Duke" even says Rocky is a street fighter which he was. The point of the movie was what Adrian says in the street he's not Mickey and Tommy is not Rocky because he doesn't hhave his heart. The best line is when pauly gets knocked downbin the bar and Rocky says You knocked him down why dont you try and knock me down!" And Mickey telling him he has one more round and he didn't hear a bell speaks to Rocky's heart and it gives me goose bumps. This movie was panned by critics but what do they know? In closing if you dont watch every previous film then it wont have the same impact.… Expand

This may not be a great film, but unlike all other sequels it feels like Rocky and is fairly entertaining, and still miles ahead of terrible movies like Rocky IV.

Great performance by all the cast, along with a good storyline. Why doesn't Metacritic review the other Rocky films?

I had more fun with this part than with the 4th part for example. Ok, the music is bad and the story has some weaknesses, especially the plot twists and some behaviours are not convincing. But finally this part is a bit different to the other Rockies, because the focus is more Tommy Gun and Rocky as a coach. The fighting scenes are bad as usual, but the street fighting was a nice idea. Also I like, when the movies are showing some background information about the boxing business.… Expand
