Stallone is back in what seems to be the most patriotic "Rocky" movie ever made. Amidst the Cold War, Stallone portrays a "Rocky" movie that metaphorically speaks about some of our fears that we were facing during the Cold War. Possibly... Full review

I thought this was even better than the original Rocky. It seemed to me to have a broader and more powerful plot. The cold war, the avenging of Apollo's death and the fact that he wasn't getting paid for the fight... Full review

Rocky IV was alright, but it was not as good as the first three. It is still good, though, but I was right about the series gradually going downhill with each movie. I probably will not even see the fifth one.... Full review

As a fan of the sports genre since a young age, Rocky IV is deeply rooted in nostalgia for me.
In retrospect, it was an ingenious way for Stallone (who wrote and directed Rocky IV ) to begin the film.

Stumbling around seemingly high on botox, Stallone spends his time mulling over snippets of cod philosophy - "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows, it's a very mean and nasty place" - and comes to the conclusion that, by losing, one can actually become ... ... Full Review
