Sure it ain't great, but give it a chance it's okay.

Rating: 7/10 (22 November 2007)

I laughed out loud at the acting of Tommy Morrison and also at Adrian's now token motivational speech, also the terrible earring his rebel son wears haha. Also, anybody else notice how the son spoke all proper when he was a dork but then developed a Rocky-style Italian gangster accent as he rebelled? Then back to normal at the end again! Anyway, perfect it ain't that's for damn sure. But for some reason this seems to have been labelled the worst sequel ever made and that's really unfair. The first 20 minutes are really great, they bring Rocky right back down to earth after the MTV video that was Rocky IV(although I did love that film, and it's probably still the ultimate 'man film' to this day). It gets a bit cheesy after this and it's just not as fun to watch Rocky train someone as it is to watch Rocky fight, I guess. But there are a lot of good moments in this movie and it tugs on your heart strings a lot more than the action movies that were 3 and 4.
Give it a chance and it may surprise you, but it won't be your favourite.
