Summary: Enough Already!
Review: This one takes the ultimate fall from the silly tree and hits every branch. The only thing I liked about this was the return to the familiar Philadelphia inner-city setting. This film was shot on the same location as the exellent ROCKY I and its as if they are trodding on sacred ground. The sequels of II, III, and IV were at least watchable and entertaining with II being the best of the sequels, but this one is not worth the time. There is an interesting sequence as the ending credits roll and the Elton John song "Measure of a Man" plays on the soundtrack(we are treated to a series of B&W photos of all 5 films in a chronological order) while assuring us that this is, indeed, THE END.

Summary: Rocky V (1990)
Review: This was an alright movie. Rocky gets bankrupted and takes over Mickey's gym. He moves back to the streets were he meets Tommy Gun, and trains Tommy to become the champ.
This was a good movie, but not as good as the other four.

Summary: I, II, III AND IV WERE GREAT, BUT THIS ONE WAS PITIFUL!
Review: This was the worst Rocky movie of the whole series. The plot was really stupid. They should have stopped at IV.

Summary: The Perfect Ending
Review: Well here it is. The 5th and final chapter of the Rocky series. Rocky V picks up right after the end fight of Rocky IV. Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) has just defeated Ivan Drago of Russia and won back respect for the U.S.A. and has avenged Apollo's death. But now Rocky is feeling different. He is having panic attacks and cannot think straight. He comes home only to find out from a doctor that he has developed dmamge to his brain. He also finds out that all of his money has been lost. So now broke, saddened, and hurt, Rocky is finally hanging up his gloves and retiring. He moves back to his old street neighborhood with his wife, son and brother-in-law. But Rocky then runs into a homeless boxer, Tommy Gunn, who is convinced that he has everything it takes to become champion. He asks Rocky to be his manager and teach him how to win. Rocky, not wanting to give up the glory of being in the ring, jumps right into the job and teaches Tommy everything that was taught to him by his old trainer, Mickey. But when a greedy promoter gets ahold of Tommy and promises him money and fame, he tells him the only way to get it is to defeat Rocky in a fight in the ring to win the title and show the people that he can beat the best, which ends in a battle of the best that would take place anywhere but an actual boxing ring! Rocky V was frowned upon by many people. But what they didnt understand was that they could not have just left Rocky off after the fight in Rocky IV. Too many questions were left unanswered. They needed to end it properly, and they did. This movie is very depressing, but at the same time inspiring. If you are a true Rocky fan, you will not want to miss this movie! "ROCKY V" runs for about 1 hour and 40 minutes. It is rated PG-13 for some language and boxing violence(some take place in the ring and one takes place in a street brawl)

Review: What a horrible movie. Come on, this really puts Rocky in a bad light. Even Stallone looks bored in this one. Stick with the origninal Rocky

Summary: Underrated
Review: When I first saw this film at the age of 6, I really didn't know what to make of it, even though I am a die-hard Stallone/Rocky fan. But being a huge fan, there really is no way I can give this a bad review.
I will admit the film does seem out of place a little bit. In the previous movies, Rocky speaks with great grammar most of the time, now he is back to his bumbling terrible grammar ways again. But of course that could have been the result of taking one too many hits to the head in the previous movie.
I can see where other Rocky fans would dislike this movie because Rocky doesn't go back into the ring and it doesn't have the vintage Rocky story to it. Plus the soundtrack just seemed out place the majority of the time.
But let's face it, when one is watching this film, you can easily tell that it is a movie about the hardships of boxing. The other four movies were mainly perspective on one's hardships in life from a bum to champion of the world. None of them seem to have captured the true hardships of boxing itself as a career. I won't go into much detail about that, but you get the picture.
The street fight is entertaining and the movie itself serves its purpose.

Summary: Great in its own way
Review: 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.

Summary: My list of Rocky V caveats
Review: Y'know, after watching the Rocky movie franchise get increasingly sillier with each subsequent installment, I guess it hadda hit rock-bottom somewhere along the way. But if you really take a closer look at Rocky V, it really ain't all that bad-- granted you can ignore the weird growth spurts that Rocky Jr. seemed to have immediately following Rocky IV, where he went from a seven-year-old to a pre-teen adolescent. And granted you can get over Tommy Morrison's loud and boisterous pro-wrestler-style delivery of lines. And granted you can hack the over-the-top acting by the guy who plays the Don King wanna-be. And granted you can stifle your laughter every time Union Cane speaks in that silly Mike Tyson voice. And granted you can get over Sly's ever-present penchant for nepotism by casting his own kid in the role of Rocky Jr. And granted you can stand the super-sappy flashbacks with Rocky's late manager Mick. And granted you... well, I think I've made my point. No need to beat it further into the ground... 'Late
