Review of Rocky V (1990) by Jovanna F — 02 Apr 2012

I dont care what anyone else says Rocky 5 has heart and strong values. It does really well to show how great a character Rocky is. although sometimes misguided. Theres alot of emotion tied into this movie that hits deep and hits hard.

For instance Rocky's bond with his son serves as the foundation for his happiness in the future, and helps him realise he doesnt need to be in the spotlight or in the ring , because his loving family is what matters most, and by the end of the movie you feel the satisfaction and peace of mind.

There couldn't possibly be a better ending to the series than the final scene. I wish alot of the negative response to this film would dissappear. I liked just about everything they put into this.

The only thing I truly missed was the acting talents of Carl Weathers, but newcomers Tommy Morrison and Sage Stallone were fantastic, there was even a classic scene with the legend Burgess Meredith, that was just unforgettable.

Even though Rocky 5 certainly isnt the best of the series it remains one of my favorites.
