Review of Rocky IV (1985) by Brad M — 05 Sep 2010
Come on Sly, not another one! You really tested everyone's patience with Rocky III, but this is nuts. Rocky transforms into an all-American superhero who manages to beat the communists and because of his epic awesomness, puts an end to the Cold War a measly five years after what may be the greatest speech ever uttered by man! Oh and he has a talking robot.
I'm sure this all made sense back in the 80s... Overall, an over the top action film but character development was non-existant. Because of that, I was not at all happy with the way they killed off Apollo, that character deserved way more dignity than that.
But as a sports film it has charm in the soundtrack, mindless action and montages that are great for working out.
