Review of Rocky V (1990) by Mr Jeet Kune Do — 13 Dec 2008
GO FOR IT!!! I thought Rocky V was supposed to be bad?! No no no! It is certainly different from the other 4 in that this time Rocky is retired and is working at Mickey's gym which he now owns...and looking after his son.
Great, right? A father-son movie. But the wonderful thing is, it isn't drawn out with boring scenes of bonding and what not. This movie made me more angry than Rocky IV even. I won't say why for that would just ruin the fun part.
This movie stays realistic to the character of Rocky, but this time it is more about his relationship not with himself but with the people around him. This movie is fun. Some may think the Rocky series is an unrealistic saga, but Rocky IV proves it isn't.
The person we saw struggle, fight, and grow rich is now back to square one...minus all the money but still with the heart.
