Worst one but still not bad

Rating: 7/10 (1 July 2007)

Rated PG-13 for Violence and Language.
Rocky 5 is the fourth sequel in the Rocky series and was thought to be the last one until Rocky Balboa.I think its good that Stallone made Rocky Balboa because that was a much better conclusion than this movie.This is the worst Rocky film in the series.But that does not mean it is bad.Sure some parts of the storyline are hard to believe but I thought the parts where Rocky tries to connect with his son were fairly good.Also the part where he reminisces while walking through Mickey's old gym was a good scene.This may be the worst Rocky but it is still an okay film.In this film, Rocky loses all his money and gets brain damage from his previous fight with Ivan Drago(from Rocky IV) so he cannot fight anymore and he is back in his old neighborhood.What's weird about this movie is that this takes place right after Rocky IV but in Rocky IV, his son was around 5 years old.In this one he is a teenager.Anyway now Rocky decides to train a younger fighter named Tommy Gunn.However there is this boxing promoter(modeled after Don King) who tries to steer Tommy away from Rocky by saying that Tommy is just living under Rocky's shadow.Also while Rocky trains this new man,he neglects his son who becomes a punk.In the end, Rocky and Tommy get into a street fight.Rocky V may be the worst Rocky in the series but it is still an alright movie.
