    i thought the movie was great.....the people in the theater afterwards gave it a standing ovation so i said fawk it and joined in......i say tarver did a decent job but damn he looked flabby....overall the emotion in this movie is what carried it and balboa vs. dixon now has to go down as one of the best heavyweight fights of all time......

      Yeah same, When i watch Rocky to me it isnt a movie but a biography of a man named Rocky, Yes weird but in the film, He IS Rocky.

            awful awful awful movie.
            I agree wholeheartedly. I am a huge film buff and admirer of the first Rocky film. This one was pure garbage. There are too many flaws in storytelling. It all comes across as forced, especially the beginning and all its references to the first movie. Seriously, the first 45 minutes are NOTHING MORE than Stallone going to places and taking about stuff that happened in Rocky 1. Very dissapointing.

              I thought they made Tarver look tougher then he should've been...like his jab made Rocky look weak so that ******...It wasn't the ending I was hoping for but was still good...The movie overall was a good ending to the Anthology.

              But I liked Rocky 5, how are you going to deny it, the fight at the end of Rocky V was awesome...Street fight was cool...

                The more important thing that Manny was doing was working Jermain Taylor's corner.

                They shot the ringwalk and HBO commentary on the night of Jermain Taylor/Bernard Hopkins II.

                  Does Stallone use a cane or walker?

                      I liked the movie alot, actully.
                      I noticed how they used actual footage of Tarver when showing clips of his wins. I saw Glenn Johnson in there somewhere.
