Rocky V (1990)

The Rocky series attempts to go full circle, returning the retired Stallion to his roots while acknowledging that changes have occurred since his rise to fame. It’s a decent idea, but it’s barely watchable at times. Seeing an absorbed, aged fighter trying to live vicariously through someone else is depressing for all the wrong reasons. We finally get to see him be a father for a while, too. However, the downside of that is having an angsty teen’s story sandwiched between the square peg in a round hole scenario.
The money-hungry manager in his limo is like a parody of a parody.
And what's worse, movie fight scenes are an art unto themselves, but in Rocky V they’re like blindfolded finger-painting with boxing gloves on.
