Once I learned that SJ2 was a LeBron James project and not a Michael Jordan project, I bailed. Although I never saw SJ2, reviews from critics who normally fawn over James were absolutely brutal. Rocky V was Citizen Kane by comparison.

Rocky V was the one with Tommy Morrison?
Correct. It's the movie not acknowledged by Rocky Balboa and the Creed series. The movie is OK, but it's out of character for the series.
I think they wanted to keep the franchise going yet have nowhere to go especially since Stallone was aging.
The idea behind Rocky V was to complete the series as a rags to riches back to rags story. I see merit in the concept, but its execution wasn't what was expected. Some movie has to be ranked last in a series, and this was the one.
