Upon returning home from his latest triumph, Rocky Balboa (Stallone) learns that all his money has been lost by an unscrupulous financial advisor. To make matters worse, his fight-relatedinjuries force his retirement from the ring. So Rocky, his wife, Adrian (Talia Shire), and his son,Rocky Jr. (Sage Stallone), move to their old, low-rent neighborhood in South Philadelphia. There, the fighter must resolve the deep-rooted resentment held by his son, a bitterness that grows when Rocky trains Tommy Gunn (Tommy Morrison), a young boxer who soon rises to national prominence. When Tommy turns against his mentor and publicly taunts him, Rocky knows he must fight once more. *John G. Avildsen, 1976 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - rocky lives onI grew up on the rocky movies and I love them to this day. I now have all six rocky movies that came out and they will be one of the all time greats. Rating:  - As far as I'm concerned, this movie never happenedAs a Rocky aficionado, this movie disappoints me in so many ways. It nearly tarnishes the Rocky legacy, and should simply never have been made. If it weren't for the fact that Rocky I-IV are so stupendous (with Rocky IV being simply one of the best action movies of all time), this could have really hurt Sylvester Stallone's career. Rocky IV left us with the champ just getting through the fight of his life against Russian behemoth with hammers for fists and enough chemical enhancements ...

Rating: - Sly's not wrongStallone said he really felt he made a mistake originally ending the series with this one -- and audiences must have agreed as it was the lowest box office grosser of the series, up to that point. ROCKY BALBOA is a neater fit as a final film but don't get me wrong, this is an entertaining movie. I have to agree with the reviewer who asked how Rocky's son aged so quickly between IV & V! Rating: - Down But Not Entirely OutWell-intentioned yet hopelessly contrived, "Rocky V" (1990) earns a few points by avoiding the comic-book slickness of "Rocky IV." Unfortunately, Sylvester Stallone does a poor job establishing the Italian Stallion's bittersweet decline. The climactic street brawl works, but the family-oriented narrative goes in too many directions. At least "Rocky V" paved the way for a triumphant finale with "Rocky Balboa."
