Search - Various Artists :: Rocky V: Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture

A Contempory and Fitting Way to end a Great Saga.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This soundtrack is different from the first four, as the majority is not instrumental. It captures the essence of the movie and Rocky's return to the streets. Some good hip-hop tunes, such as Keep It Up, but the real reason to buy it is The Measure Of A Man by Elton John. This song fits so well into the whole saga of the life of Rocky Balboa(as well as many of us every-day people) and is a great farewell to, in my opinion, the best series of movies of all-time(yes, better than Star Wars)."

Rocky V CD Review

(2 out of 5 stars)

"We should all be lucky that this CD is going for what it is, last time I checked this spot, the Rocky V CD was going for a lot more and I mean a lot more, but on to the review. Rocky V is not a score only CD, in fact it doesn't have any instrumental tracks. Except for the great Elton John track and very little singing throughout, it's a rap exclusive soundtrack. I'm not much of a reviewer but I recommend this if you like rap, are a fan of highly charged music, or a fan of all the Rocky films. The reason why I recommend this to who I listed is because it is a very listenable album, sure it's not a 4 or 5 star but it's also recommended because this CD will not be around forever, if you are even considering getting this, get it now. The best track has to be the Elton John "The Measure Of A Man", it was written for this film and this is the song that best represents Rocky V and the Rocky films as a whole. So, please, add it to your cart because for this great price, it's a steal. Plus, it could be here today, gone tomorrow."

"On Christmas Day 1990 I received this soundtrack as a gift from my mother. My mother new I loved the Rocky movies and still do. I played the tape so much it wore out! Over the past 11 years I have tried to replace it, to no avail! Capital Records stopped production within 2 years of it's release. I live in the Philadelphia area and the music of the great ROCKY V in unavailable until NOW!! Thank you amazon.com. The reason Iloved this soundtrack is the Elton John song ( Measure of a man). and a song by joey b. Ellis GO FOR IT (Heart and fire)It's a great workout song.This year is the 25th anniversary of the one that started it all. This is by far the best of all the soundtracks!!!"
