I've watched these movies at different times throughout my life.  I still remember seeing rocky iv in the hometown theatre when I was 6 years old, during the cold war.  Maybe they should have stopped with rocky iv, but now that they've made rocky v, they should go ahead and make vi.  MGM is extremely dim-witted for causing problems in making the film.  Even if it isn't good (it will be because it is the last one that Stallone wants to make and the Rocky movies pretty much made his career), it will make a lot of money because people, whether die-hard rocky fans or not, will want to see it at least for curiosity's sake.  Why don't they just put it to a vote to see how much support another rocky movie has?  Dreamworks should go ahead and make the movie; people have been looking forward to it for quite some time.  Considering where the country is at right now with all the bullshit terrorist pieces of shit, another inspirational rocky movie would be great!   rocky v seems representational of where the country was at in the 90s.  It's time that they make another one that is representational of all those in this great country that still believe in the American Dream.  These people still exist despite all the pessimistic bullshit people like to talk about their own country.  At heart any real American still holds that American Dream that the rocky movies have done such a good job of representing.  The great silent majority of Americans that still believe in our country should step forward and will sooner or later.  Perhaps rocky vi cannot happen because people no longer have enough pride in their own country?  This movie cannot get enough support from a pessimistic nation run by money-blinded companies like MGM that stand in between a person and the realization of their dreams; how can a movie that promotes American values and the American Dream regain the support of a country that has forgotten its origin and lost the ability to believe and to dream?  I don't know, but I hope that it happens.  If it doesn't then I guess that in itself is representational of what direction this country is headed.  A country that makes a mockery of the individual and a hero out of the cooperation; a country that can no longer believe in dreams because it believes them childish; a country that says it is too sophisticated give respect to its origin.  Where are those that still believe?  All this over rocky vi.  Sounds kind of ridiculous.  People will say so.  I say this: how can any movie which so strongly supports its country and its people's aspirations be made a mockery by its own people.  If you don't support our country, why don't you just get the hell out?!!  Unlike other countries, we do give our citizens the right to leave at any time they see fit.
