For the most part, the Rocky pictures have been outstanding entertainments, beautifully crafted and executed, and Rocky V is an important and worthwhile addition to the series.

The dramatic moves are so obvious and shopworn that not even the star's mournful basset-hound expressions can redeem them.

Rocky loses his fortune, moves back to the old neighborhood and neglects his son while training an ultimately ungrateful young boxer. A manufactured attempt to capture the spirit of the original. What's intended as high drama is cloying and silly.

Whereas the first and far superior Rocky had real heart, this tries and fails to have brains.

Goes the distance as a parable about what is really means to have heart.

A sloppy but good-natured reminder of just what it is that has kept Rocky Balboa afloat for 14 years.
