Bad premise, bad additional characters, just bad

Rocky and Adrian return from the match in Russia with Drago to find that bungling Paulie has signed power of attorney over to an accountant who has embezzled all of Rocky's money and also failed to pay his taxes for the past six years. All of Rocky's things are auctioned to pay bills and he and Adrian move back to the old neighborhood in Philly to start over. His son, stuck in an inner city school, is getting bullied, but Rocky doesn't have time to notice because he's training a new up and coming fighter, Tommy Gunn. Rocky can't fight himself to help out because he has brain damage from fighting in the past and must cease that occupation.I realize this is just a movie BUT.... Celebrities don't go permanently broke by losing their money if the money they got was from something they did. In Rocky's case that would be rising from nothing to be a champion fighter. The people who lose their money and go back to absolute poverty are people like lottery winners where their money was their fame. With no connections, if they lose their money they have no assets. Celebrities usually have connections that open doors in the business world.Rocky would be able to make five figures or more a speech right after the fight with Drago. He could get a book deal. HBO, Showtime, or ABC would hire him as a sports commentator. He could have done promotions of products. The whole premise of Rocky III was that Rocky was so busy doing such promotions that he forgot he was a fighter. So why was that not an option now? Because that was the lazy premise that the writers took to get the story where they wanted it. On top of that both Rocky's son and Tommy Gunn are whiny annoying characters. Put it all together and this is not a boring film, but it is ridiculous and grating at times.

"All those fighters you beat, you beat them with heart, not muscle. That's what Mickey knew; that's why Mickey and you were special."

Coming into the most lowest-regarded 'Rocky' sequel (amongst both critics and passionate fans of the series), I must admit that I felt a certain trepidation. Whilst I had enjoyed the wildly over-the-top shenanigans of 'Rocky IV,' it wasn't what you'd call a good film, and had simply become the clichéd story of a champion boxer's underdog victory, not making any attempts to expand on the character of Rocky Balboa or his relationship with family and friends. Rocky's fifth outing is generally considered to be considerably worse, frequently denounced by Stallone himself.

Whilst 'Rocky V' is most certainly not a classic, I can admire what it was attempting. Whilst Sylvester Stallone himself had helmed the first three sequels, 'Rocky V' was directed by John G. Avildsen, winner of a Best Director Oscar for the original film. This film attempts to break the mould set by the sequels, most notably by not including any scenes with Rocky in the boxing ring (except, of course, for the obligatory flashback opening to Rocky's bout of the previous film). Having been diagnosed with brain damage from his clash with Ivan Drago, Rocky is done with fighting. To make matters worse, he loses his entire fortune when his brother-in-law Paulie (Burt Young) mistakenly signs the power-of-attorney over to a dodgy accountant. To fill the void in his life, Rocky begins training others to box, taking an enthusiastic, hungry young boxer, Tommy "The Machine" Gunn (Tommy Morrison), under his wing.

Rocky perceptibly sees, in Tommy, a younger version of himself; under-privileged, but avid for glory, and willing to take any steps to achieve it. In helping Tommy, however, Rocky grows further apart from his son, Rocky Jr. (played by Sage Stallone, and looking as though his character has aged about five years in the time that it took for Rocky to return from Russia) and his loving wife Adrian (Talia Shire). Rocky Jr., an intelligent young lad in his early teens, feels neglected by his father and takes up boxing in an attempt to get noticed, eventually becoming a rebellious street punk.

Often misunderstood - and reviled by many fans for a lack of "action" - 'Rocky V' is a competent addition the series, and is, at least, superior to its direct predecessor. Unlike 'IV,' this Rocky film attempts (albeit, only partially successfully) to develop Rocky's character, and his family relationships. There is even a stirring flashback featuring Mickey (Burgess Meredith), quite possibly the most powerful moment in the film. Paulie is rescued from the role of comic-relief, and actually has something relevant to say. Adrian and Rocky face challenges, and their commitment is tested, but they manage to pull through. The film brings viewers back to the scenario of the original film – Rocky is no longer wealthy and living the easy life. He is back where he started, and must fight his way back to glory, not with his own failing body, but through Tommy. The only problem is that Tommy, despite having the ambition and the skill, lacks Rocky's passion and heart, resulting in his own eventual downfall.
