Perhaps the weakest Rocky...but

The dialogue may have been unintentionally funny for you, but for me it was ear torture. The only kind of funny part was where it was obvious that Paulie programmed his sexbot to pleasure him but even then that wasn't meant to be funny.

There's nothing to like about it.

1. Yes in 3 and 4 Stallone was just playing Stallone, then in 5 he tried to become Rocky once again but it was like he forgot how and went way too over the top, again that is my big issue with 5

2. What are you basing this on? I know plenty of people who appreciate 5 but hate 4

3. You know that if 5 had swept the Razzies you would all of a sudden care about them, Rocky 4 is a bad movie, 5 isn’t great or anything but it’s at least competent and told a story at least

4. And as I said he goes through no emotional changes or a character arc building up to the fight. In the next scene after the funeral he’s now agreed to fight him and after 3 music videos (training montages don’t count as character development) he’s now fighting him in what is supposed to be the big epic payoff, it took all of about 10 minutes, as compared to the first two and even the third where the big epic fight at the end was earned and actually meant something

5. As I said, they did very little to make us care about Apollo’s death, they barely talk about it and it barely affects Rockys character, they wasted all of the screen time on music videos and bad music videos while I’m at it.

6. Totally wrong, as I said before the fights at the end of the first 3 meant something because they built them up and showed how preparing for the fight changed Rocky emotionally, he had obstacles he had to overcome both physically and psychologically, the second film absolutely nailed this, the ten straight minutes of depression were essential because when Adrian comes out of her coma and it then goes into the montage it meant something, the montage was epic because the film earned it and the shear contrast with what came before made it even better

7. Non sequitur , and plenty of great films have no name actors. And Timmy Gunn was still a better character than Drago because well he had a character, he had understandable motivations and we knew who he was, just his actions are what makes him an
