    This is what Rocky 5 should've been like, Rocky returning hone to his roots and having one last bout in the ring.

    The first half is quite emotional and after watching them in one hit, it's sad how when we grow up and get old - things around us change, people leave us and we have to keep going.

    This film highlights that feeling brilliantly and brings us the last bout Rocky deserved.

    Rocky finally came home.

    Rocky 5 - No doubt the weakest in the series, however it's not as bad as people make out.

    It starts out just fine, with Rocky returning to his roots and suffering from irreversible brain damage. The only farfetched part of it so far is how his son grows about 6 years older in a couple of days.

    It packs an emotional punch but lacks the triumphant return or finale the other films had. I would've preferred Rocky going to…

    Arthur 2: On the Rocks

    ★★★½

    Dudley Moore is superb as Arthur!

    The sequel isn't as heartwarming or as funny as the orginal, however it's still a great watch and it's still funnier than most modern comedies.

    Arthur's funny with the money though.

    Where the legend of Rocky Balboa begins.
    Straight out the bat it isn't the most entertaining, this one is a slow burner but it introduces you to the essential characters and the world they try to survive in.

    It adds everything in and is a non-stop rollercoaster ride.
