Emotional Boxing Adventure

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2007)

Rocky IV (1985, Dir. Sylvester Stallone)
Rocky Balboa accompanies his friend Apollo Creed to the rings in a boxing match against a Russian Boxers named Ivan Drago. Drago is too strong for Creed, and unfortunately kills him in his match. Balboa blames himself Creed's death and is determined to defeat Drago in a boxing match. He gains the help of Creed's former manager, Duke and travels to U.S.S.R to take on Drago.
'Rocky IV' is unfortunately not as good as the previous three films. There are even parts which seem to have basically been repeated. Apollo Creed's death is emotional, but you can't help but think that you have already seen it again. Like the other films, the actors are back and as great as they have ever been. The action is great and the basic story is quite interesting. It's not as fun as the other films, but should be seen if you have seen the other films.
"To beat me, he will have to kill me." - Rocky (Sylvester Stallone)
