A poor rocky film that shouldn't have happened

Rating: 3/10 (16 October 2015)

And I have finally seen rocky 5 and I gotta say this is easily the worst rocky movie. The premise of this film sees rocky forced to retire so he ends up training a protégé so he can have a new lease on life. Meanwhile, his son struggles in school. Now Sylvester Stallone is great in this film and easilly the best part of this film. I actually believed that he wanted to get back in the ring and I saw the pain in his character. However, I didn't like anybody else in this film, whether it was returning characters such as Adrian because they didn't add anything to the film. Also I thought his son was annoying throughout the film. I also didn't feel like Tommy gunn was a particular strong character. The story was just all over the place. Whether it was the Stallone and gunn relationship which had a really forced conclusion that I didn't like. Also I hated the sins story arc and felt it was a stupid part of the film. The script had some decent dramatic dialogue but the humour just want there like it had been in previous films. The style wasn't good in this film there is actually no real boxing in a rocky film and no rocky training montage. Overall this is a poor entry to rocky that you don't need to see.
