 Rocky V (1990)
That old adage is proved repeatedly throughout Rocky V, the one film in the series that tries harder than any of the others to recapture the magic that made the original Rocky so special.
During the latter film, little Rocky was about six years old; the preceding movies hadn’t been all that strict about their continuity, but at least he’d seemed to age normally during that span and other events passed before we got a look at the older version of the character.
Ultimately, Rocky V is a decent piece of work, but as with the other sequels, it probably will remain most interesting for devoted fans of the series; less interested parties will likely not find a lot to compel them.

Without a doubt the fastest of the series, Rocky III delivers bountifully in the action category, as well as giving the viewer a good dose of personal drama within Rocky's now more polished life.
