Don't go for it...

Rating: 2/10 (11 November 2006)

I think the film is not even average. Even worse, if we compare it with the series. Frankly, i liked the fourth part better than this. The first mistake, if u ask me, was to put the fight in the street. That stole the essence of the movie. The family side of Rocky has been etched out well, especially the father son relation. but the teacher-student relation was poorly shown. As against the other rockies, the film went wayward in the script department. Rocky I was realistic, but gradually in II, III, and IV that aspect waned and in this installment, there is not a bit of realism. But then, its not devoid of any pluses. The music has been great, especially the final song. Stallone has done a decent job. So if you are a Stallone fan, then you can have a look. And if you are a Rocky fan then its better to avoid.
