This one wasn't my favorite of the Rocky franchise, but I still thought it was really good! I really like how it was a more grounded story about family and his relationship with boxing/ the challenges of not being able to do what you love!

Nice! I didn’t think you’d be getting back to the Rocky franchise so soon. Not complaining though. I agree, this is not among my favorite movies in the franchise, but it definitely has its moments, including some very touching moments with his son and the tear jerking flashback with Mickey. I thought the acting from Stallone and Talia Shire seemed a little forced. And although I liked the fact that Rocky Jr. is played by Stallone’s son, Sage, I think the role could have been better served with a more accomplished actor. I feel the same way about Tommy Morrison as Tommy Gunn. Overall, still an enjoyable movie. Looking forward to hearing your comments during the intro and outro.

Agreed with Dan. I think most people agree this is not the best, but it has its moments. The Father & Son scenes are worth the price. Every time I watch it, it gets a little better. Time has been good to it. For years this was the film that many ignored and would recommend to others to not watch. It was better to end Rocky’s story with Rocky IV, rather than the street fight. But since Stallone made Rocky Balboa (VI), many have returned to Rocky V and appreciate it a lot more for what it is. A back to basics Rocky film without all the flare, and just a great family story. And a story about a man reaching that point in his life when he realizes that he’s not invincible and that he’s not as young as he once was. Something we can all, empathize with at some point. (This has been my year for that ;-\ So now onto Rocky Balboa (VI). Top Tier Rocky IMO. PS: Thank You so, so much for continuing the Rocky Saga. Thank You. :-)

Watched the edited version on Youtube and looking forward to watching this full version when I have more time later. Thanks for this series! I have greatly enjoyed watching these Rocky movies with you.

Rocky Balboa retroactively gave more value to Rocky 5! The Mickey flashback scene also added value on it's own.

Yes! I also enjoyed this one way more than four which almost became a cartoon (I actually loved this one as a kid). But yeah, people telling you to skip this one would have robbed you of those extra scenes with Mickey which are worth it alone.

I agree Larry, I feel the same way, the more I watch it, it's get a littler better. I have always enjoyed it, since it is Rocky, and the story was good, just felt, it could have been directed better. Plus at the time of this movie, it just did not feel right to end it this way. I can not understand those that tell people to just skip it. Never skip Rocky's story hahahaha

Your synopsis at the end of your reaction was spot on and brilliant. It was definitely a change in tone and focus, and for lack of a better term, a more “adult” Rocky movie. At this point in the franchise, I equate the progression of the movies like riding a roller coaster. Up to the end of Rocky III, it was like that slow ascent to the top of the very first peak, the excitement building slow and steady, until you reach the top and come rocketing down…such a thrill. Rocky IV is like the rest of the ride, some thrills going up and down smaller peaks, but ultimately not as exciting as the first part of the ride. And Rocky V was the end of the ride, coming off that high, but feeling satisfied knowing you just had a great time getting there. Loved this reaction and your take on the movie.

If my memory serves me correctly, you know a bit about hand to hand combat, in Rockys case, his body and reflexes are tuned to the point that his actual thinking pattern has little to do his fighting, if that makes any sense. Watch Legend of Drunken Master by Jackie Chan, it explains my point

The age jump between this Robert and the last, is because Stallone opted to use his real life son Sage in this movie

My favourite boxer is Mike Tyson but I think Tommy Morrison((John Wayne's nephew) had the best left hook I have ever seen, & he died way to young.
