Rocky 5 , good last film sequel to the franchise
Review of Rocky 5 DVD by Eddie35

Advantages: Acting, action
Disadvantages: None

Out of all the Rocky sequels, Rocky 5 is one of the best ones, and it's the last one in the series. Even more surprising is that the film has good acting, great scenes, and it's very realistic too. Sylvester Stallone even wrote the story for it. After his last fight,with the Russian Drago, Balboa (Stallone) starts to feel pain, which turns out to be a concussion to his brain which has left him in pain. As added damaged Balboa, finds out that Uncle ...
...whose number 1. Rocky 5 is more intense than the horrible Rocky 4 movie and has better acting. In another scene, Balbao starts having flashbacks to his glory years with his manager Micki (Burgess Meredith) , it's a very sentimental moment. In another scene I like, is when Adrian talks to Rocky about how much she loves him and how no matter tough things get, she will always stick by him. This is actually in all the Rocky movies, Rocky gets hurt, ... Read review

American propaganda
Review of Rocky 5 DVD by WAD1-2-3

Advantages: good film
Disadvantages: american propaganda

...the TV Guide and realised Rocky 5 was on, I felt this sudden urge to write a review about it. I have watched Rocky so many times, but what came to my mind was one of my History lessons a couple of years a go. I hope you will find the new spin on Rocky 5 interesting. I could write about the film, which I am sure most of you have watched. Yes, it’s very good, Stallone is very good and after a long and traumatic road come up triumph. But, I just ...
...emotions. Where as Rocky is a man who has triumphed and will triumph again after he conquers the ‘bad’ Russian and the country. It’s a one man crusade against Russia and of course Sly is triumphant. At the end when Sly wins, it is a sign of the Americans winning and bowing into the Russians. Subconsciously, people watched this film all around the world and took in the view of the Russians surely people weren’t that naïve ... Read review

Unnecessary
Review of Rocky 5 DVD by manosst

Advantages: Some good fight scenes
Disadvantages: we have seen it before

...even know there was a Rocky V. I thought the saga ended with Rocky beating the Russian powerhouse (in highly unrealistic fashion). Personally, I think they would have been better off leaving it at that. The storyline in this one is different to the others, but a little strange. Basically, Rocky ends up bankrupt because of some tax problems and is forced to retire from boxing because of brain damage. So he returns to the place he came from where. ...
...some random hopeful who wants Rocky to train him. He does and ultimately his young protege dumps him for the promise of more money. Still with me? Anyway, it all turns very nasty and the two of them end up having a bare knuckle fist fight in an alley somewhere (there also just happens to be a television camera there to show it live). Rocky wins (surprise surprise), though nearly kills himself in the process. This is by far the weakest Rocky. The ... Read review

DVD Description

In John G. Avildsen's ROCKY V, times are different for boxing champion Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). A lifetime of taking shots has terminated his career, and a crooked accountant has left him bankrupt. In this final chapter of the ROCKY series, the Balboa family is forced to return to their gritty beginnings in the old neighbourhood, attempting to start their lives anew. Life in Philadelphia means a lot of adjustment for the once-wealthy Balboa family--Adrian (Talia Shire) has to return to her job at the pet store, Rocky Jr. (Sage Stallone) struggles to endure a punishingly tough high school, and Rocky is forced to face that his championship career is finally over. Soon, though, Rocky returns to what he knows best--boxing. He becomes a manager for Tommy Gunn (Tommy Morrison), an up-and-coming boxer, teaching him all of the tricks of the trade. Inspired by the memory of his own trainer, Mickey (Burgess Meredith), Rocky is able to find glory in training. However, Tommy leaves his tutelage for George W. Duke (Richard Gant), a flashy Don King-like promoter, and Rocky's rage and sense of betrayal inspire him to fight one final grudge match. Young Tommy and Rocky duke it out in a bloody street fight that recalls the brutal glory and hard-knocks finale of the original ROCKY.
