Rocky V blows chunks

Rating: 1/10 (8 June 2006)

I'm a Rocky fan. I've seen all five flicks and even own a couple of them on DVD. I'm sorry, but Rocky V is terrible. Who wrote the "Tommy Gunn" character's lines? An eighth grader? And oh, how believable is it that anybody in their right mind would entrust a drunk to handle their financial affairs? PUUUGH-LLLEEEEEEZZZZE! I'm trying to think of anything in the movie that just wasn't totally cliché or uninspiring... coming up blank... just like the minds of the writers of garbage. What is the moral of this story? Never befriend a wannabe boxer from Orlando or Oklahoma, take them into your house without doing any kind of background check, let them have your son's bedroom, totally ignore your son only to have your wife remind you that "your're losing your family Rocky!" unless you are prepared to fight the bum after he betrays your "long-standing" imagined relationship -- risking a life of total vegetation (arguably, Rocky was already in a near-vegetable state during the movie).
