MY RINGS OUTSIDE

Rating: 7/10 (1 February 2020)

The fifth rocky MOVIE takes up after the DRAGO fight and ROCKY is broken mentally and physically,DRAGO has pulverized ROCKY and when he gets home he is broken financially by the negligence of PAULIE,ROCKY and his family are slingshot back to the beginning were it all began,in the myths of picking up the pieces ROCKY's son is growing up and is played reasonably well by his real life son,soon a wannabe champ TOMMY GUNN comes along and guilt trips ROCKY into training him,ROCKY's ego is stroked somewhat by TOMMY and he loses sight of family values and this results in his son rebelling against him.STALLONE,SHIRE and YOUNG all put in their usually performances here but in my opinion TOMMY GUNN does not act up to it here as he is carried through the movie,soon the ultimate betrayal sets in and a grand finally street fight is were ROCKY does his talking now.a significant chapter in the SAGA but only better than ROCKY III by par.
