If V had gotten rid of the son's pre-teen angst storyline and rap soundtrack it would've been much better imo.

I just got back and loved it. As a 25 year old, I had never seen an entire Rocky movie all the way through until about two weeks ago. All I remembered before was his fight with He-Man. I was mad that I never watched these earlier (well sans V and the robot from IV) Anyways,

If you're a fan of the series you owe it to yourself to check out this tribute video someone made for youtube. It's really nicely edited.

I saw this yesterday and loved it as well. If you like Rocky I-III, you'll like this one.
