Not as bad as it is made out to be

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2007)

I don't understand why so many consider Rocky V to be such a terrible movie. It is not up to par with the rest of the series, but it still has its moments.
The movie is a good reminder what life can be for athletes after they retire - it isn't just bright lights and charity events. Rocky having to retire after his match with Ivan Drago is a very emotional turn of events. Tommy Gunn isn't the best character of the series and the storyline isn't too believable, but I still enjoy watching the movie from time to time.
I really enjoyed seeing Rocky's fall from grace and I think this movie holds its place in the Rocky-series.
