Review of Rocky IV (1985) by Rob Ó — 20 Aug 2012
The shallowest, silliest entry in the entire series, and yet still quite fun. Many of the elements in the film are so jawdropping in absurdity as to appear apocryphal. Still though, taken at face value as a brawly 80s action film, it's at least an entertaining treat with the usual fun bits of whimsical manliness.
It attempts to sit on the fence regarding the Cold War conflict, only to indulge completely in hamfisted American superiority. Really silly, but still fun.
