tommy = bad rocky

he is motivate to fight because he see his abusive father in ring as opponent - he does not have right attitudes

tommy is easy manipulate by duke even though rocky help him get shot - he lack mental toughness

rocky v is like star wars - tommy is what happen when fighter turn to the dark side. he is seduced by darkside of the force - master duke

stallone make this film because is trying to make point - that all talent you have in the world mean nothing without heart. rocky had heart. tommy did not!!

rocky v is great movie. creed 3 is shit.
