be a kid in the 90 and the rocky film have a special place in my heart . i remember in 1996 and rocky 1 4 be show on consecutive day on tv . i be not aware that rocky 5 exist until i buy the box set in 2002. i watch rocky ( positive ) and rocky 2 ( positive ) and rocky 3 ( positive ) and rocky 4 ( positive ) back to back and with great anticipation i place the rocky 5 disc into the dvd player . when the movie finish and i thought to myself represent what the hell be that . i expect it to follow the formula of the previous rocky film ( the montage and big fight at the end etc ) and think that that be the problem . i watch it the next day and have that same feeling again . rocky 5 have the dodgy sequel effect on the previous film in that their quality be diminish by the fact that rocky and our hero whom we look up to and admire for his iron chin and unbreakable spirit have be reduce to a break down man who train some punk kid and ignore his own kid in turn . this be not the rocky we know and love and this be a derivative piece of junk that be detest by fan ( both hardcore and casual ) . it be a waste of a film . the only reason that this have a negative and not a negative be that the fight at the end be pretty well choreograph . however . you lucky people who have not see any rocky film and be consider purchase the rocky box set have the option of not watch this and instead watch the vastly superior rocky balboa instead . note to stallone and still wait for the following film from you represent rocky 7 and another rambo and copland 2. oh and and give my regard to your mom .
