A sloppy but good-natured reminder of just what it is that has kept Rocky Balboa afloat for 14 years.

Rating: 5/10 (9 November 2019)

Stallone trades in the ambiance of a big-fight atmosphere for senseless street-fighting. Rocky V is an unacceptable installment that tarnishes the already back-down-on-his-luck fighter. The uninspiring acting and street-smart vibe is just as damaging as the fighter's brain in this film. But though the film has some significant damages it still manages to be somewhat uplifting with the lack of magic it possessed.
