      I don't get it, either. If they don't like the movie, then they just don't have to watch the reaction to it. Easy as that. Why rob people, who do enjoy the movie, of a reaction and not let the reacting person decide for themselves whether or not they like it?

      I wish people would stop doing that too. Or that more reactors would be like Centane and just ignore them. Just about every reactor out there gets convinced to drop big franchises because some of the movies aren't great. Alien, Predator, Terminator, Die Hard, the list goes on. The reactors should be watching them all and forming their own opinions.

      @Rocket1377 Nightmare on Elm Street's the Dream Trilogy is definitely not to be missed. Not all of them are great, but they are essential... famous to horror fans. Also, for film buffs they are notable because they are helmed by three future big-time Directors; Stephen Hopkins, Renny Harlin and Chuck Russell. If you don't know, the Dream Trilogy is 3,4 and 5.

    Rocky V is very underrated.
    Imo it took the series back to its roots of drama.
    From Rocky 1 to 4, it got less dramatic and more action, which is fun and all but the story can’t go anywhere.
    As I got older, I appreciated Rocky V a lot more.

    • @Alfonso88279
      @Alfonso88279 Год назад +4

      @@MS-ro9dm There is no character building nor substance in this movie. If you pay attention, there's not even character arc. When the movie starts, Rocky is a good father. Then he knows this young boxer, he sees himself in him, and train him at the cost of not paying attention to his family. At the end, the young boxer turns against him for no reason.
      So Rocky stars a good father and ends a good father since... now he changed his ways after training a failure of a kid? Wait but the kid won thanks to him... so what's the message? What's the character arc? There's not at all, it's a mess. It's very bad written. Silvester Stalone dislikes this movie a lot. I don't think it's bad but it has huge narrative problems.

    Rocky's little magic trick pulling something out of Robert's ear was an homage to real life world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali. Ali loved slight of hand magic and liked to perform impromptu tricks to amuse his friends. During a feature TV report (I think it was on the ABC network's 20/20 news magazine show) about about Ali's struggle with Parkinsonism in his later years, the report voiced concerns about the evident deterioration of Ali's health and abilities observed during the time the reporter and crew spent with him, but it ended with a clip Ali deftly performing a magic trick for the reporter to show that the smooth, clever Ali of yesterday was still in there.

    I'm glad you didn't listen to the people telling you not to watch stuff. You'll be surprised what you'll end up liking when you see it for yourself. The more I've watched this movie, the more it has grown on me, especially as an adult. And Tommy Gunn (real name Tommy Morrison) was a real boxer and one of the greatest. He had amazing knockout power.

  • @moviereviews4life
    @moviereviews4life Год назад +31

    Many don't like this because of how jarring it is from the superhero tone of the 4th film. This went back to basics and I love it for that reason. There is a director's cut that's darker but also more in line with what the director wanted. I know Stallone is currently making a new edit for the film that'll likely be better received.
    Rocky trusts Paulie unconditionally so it's likely that he trusted whatever papers Paulie handed him and signed it without reading. So the tax/accountant issue is possible.
    Rocky is suffering from brain damage, so the way he's acting is understandable. Remember in Rocky 2 when he was told he had to retire he told Mick he needed to be around boxing since that was all he knew to do to support his family. Here he's right back to that but he can't break his promise so he sees Tommy as a way to be around it.
    George Washington Duke is based on Don King, a boxing promoter who was very over the top and had some shadiness to him especially with Mike Tyson.

    Yup, Rocky V is so underrated!, but it's a great movie. The next movie Rocky Balboa is the real send off for the Rocky series.

    *Rocky V* is one of those pictures I feel will always be misunderstood. I understand what Stallone was trying to go for here and I believe the only reason he dismissals at these days is because the audience does. The premise here is built on solid foundation and hits for me everytime.

    I actually watched it in the theaters in 1990 not expecting much. But surprisingly it was damn good ! Great writing, Great script. Glad you liked it.... ; )))

    Rocky V was a polarizing film when it came out because as far as everyone knew it was the last Rocky movie we were going to get and it veered off sharply from where the franchise had gone as far as the boxing / action aspect of it goes. The first 2 movies were more about the story of Rocky and his life and where it was going. The boxing was an important part of it, but those 2 movies were more of a life journey combined with a love story. Rocky III and IV were into the 80's and starting down the road of macho action movies with over the top villains. They did still however carry over that Balboa charm that made the movies great in the first place.
    Then this movie came and it was disappointing for a lot of people due to the loss of an overarching villain and not having an organized boxing match take place. The whole thing with Duke (a parody of Don King) and Tommy Gunn (played by real life boxer and also polarizing figure Tommy Morrison) felt muddled and too easy. It lacked the depth of the challenge (and eventual friendship) that Apollo Creed represented, the terror that Clubber Lang represented, and the insurmountable odds that Ivan Drago represented. Tommy Gunn was just a normal, butt-hurt dude who was too dumb to realize that he was being taken advantage of and puppeteered by Duke. It all happened too fast and lacked the savvy and finesse of the other movies.
    I didn't really care much for this movie when it came out, but I have grown to like it over the years. I think the Rocky franchise needed to go in a different direction, but if more time had been spent fleshing out the "heel turn" of Gunn I think it would have been better received. I still think this is the lowest on the Rocky tier list, but I no longer think of it as a "bad movie"
    PLUS the sheer competition of movies that came out in 1990! Back to the Future III. Total Recall, Live Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tremors, Ghost, GoodFellas, Misery, Die Hard 2, The Hunt for Red October, Home Alone, etc. etc. There were a LOT of classic movies that came out that year and Rocky V kind of lived in their shadow.

    Honestly time and hindsight have done this movie a lot of good. It still ranks at the bottom of the Rocky pile, but it really is a better movie then its got credit for over the years.

    A lot of people don't know this, but Stallone wrote Rocky to die right there in the street. Studio was like ah hell know you ain't killing Rocky. Also, Sage passed away pretty young in his life from medical complications. I'm so glad you watched this one. I like this better than 4. Rocky Balboa (6) is much better. For mw 6, 1, and 2, are the best. (not to take away from the others which are all good in my opinion)

    The saddest thing about Rocky V was that BOTH Sage Stallone (Sylvester Stallone's son) who played Rocky Jr DIED in real life at age 36 in 2012 suddenly and unexpectedly from coronary artery disease caused by atherosclerosis. AND Tommy Morrison who played Tommy ALSO died a year later of AIDS. Enjoyed your amazing reaction as always!!

    It’s a great film. I don’t know why people hate it so much. I know there isn’t a championship fight and he loses all of his money, but he wins in another way. That’s why I love the Rocky series-sometimes the fight is outside the ring. The only thing that’s jarring is that his son ages by nearly a decade after the Drago fight (the same could be said for Rocky 😅).

      Tommy Gunn also seems to have 14 fights in about one year. Possible, but not at a level where he'd become a contender.

      I agree with you. I've loved Rocky V since I first saw it back in 1990. The audience in the theatre were going crazy at that street fight with Tommy, it was a great atmosphere. I've never understood the hate it gets either.

    I liked this one too. The story progression was natural and made sense. I just hated that they left pauly in charge of their finances like that instead having a lawyer handle legal documents. But the movie was good and the ending fight stands out to me.

      Yeah, I'm not suprised Rocky would do it giving Paulie the benefit of the doubt, but kinda surprise Adrian would trust your brother with that sort of thing knowing how he is.

    I love Rocky V, is it as good as the rest no its not, but as movie its good and it hits all the Rocky beats we know and love, I guess i was lucky to watch this when i was still young like 14 and i was just so excited to have another Rocky movie.
