Rocky V is Just not Good

Rating: 5/10 (12 December 2015)

Having a story not so engaging while trying to give a new direction in Rocky's life, this fifth film is quite uninteresting and not very exciting. For not having that passion so present that stood out in the first two and the entertainment so present in the fourth, Rocky V develops from a plot that doesn't build up to be as good as it should be, adds many sub-plots, which most are very poorly established, as well as an exaggerated drama and even characters that have already been established undergo changes in their personality, the main example is Adrian. Another problem is the antagonists, they suffer from the same issues that are in the third movie, which is not exploiting and developing seriously these characters making them strong and imposing figures when they're on the screen, passing the image of important individuals, instead, they're very superficial and boring. Something incredible and new from this one is the fact that even the fights aren't good as before, they're well choreographed and filmed, but fail to excite and far from being breathtaking.
