Unbelievably underrated

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2007)

It never seizes to amaze me that everyone enjoyed the first instalment of rocky so much but not this.
I mean come on lets face it after one and two rocky just became a film about showing of fighting in the ring when before it had much more meaning to it and a strong story of love and feelings behind it.
I think rocky V took the films back to its roots as it is not all based on action...yes You see many fights with tommy gunn in the ring but the strong story of son and father behind it was touching and the acting was extremely good and the direction was great.
Also the whole scene in the gym where he remembers Mick touched me inside because i felt like i was watching a true rocky film again.
Personally i think people got bored because after 3 and 4 they became so stuck on the rocky action flick rather then the true rocky film an that disappoint me as this could have easily been a classic to.
Anyone who agrees will love this underrated classic but anyone who is just there for the action you may as well stay away.
