Rocky V (1990)
Directed by John G.
Avildsen this film stars writer Sylvester Stallone alongside Talia
Shire, Burt Young, Tommy Morrison and Sage Stallone. After returning
from Russia our hero finds himself broke and back on the streets
where he trains a young boxer.
The premise of this
film is not to bad and it certainly has more plot than the previous
film in the series. Where the problems arise are in the ending of the
film which by descending into a street fight goes completely against
the character of Rocky and what he was trying to teach his son.
Mostly the film is fairly well made although some of the music dates
the film pretty badly, the fight scenes are not even close to up to
par with those in the rest of the series and in general the film has
a heavy handed feel.
2/5
