Review of Rocky IV (1985) by Mark F — 29 Dec 2009
Rocky single handedly wins the cold war in this one. A bit rubbish. It could still have been good in a formulaic way if the end fight scene wasn't so ridiculous. I'm not a boxing expert but surely Rocky has heard of guarding his head.
He just walks into punches, any one of which in real life would have him out cold. Instead, the fight goes the distance with each of them having taken about 100 haymakers to the face. When you make it that unrealistic you can't get involved in it.
