better than the 3rd film in the series

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2007)

Rocky 4 is a better movie than Rocky 3.there is more depth to the story.The villain is a mush greater threat and there is more at stake.the is a second antagonist which Rocky must fight,but you will have to watch the movie to understand.the setting for the movie is also a positive.it is set in Russia in 1985.the movie also has a moral which the three previous ones do not.this movie focuses much more om the training for the final fight than actual fight itself.the fight scenes are well done,but there is less realism.by that,i mean no man could tale any where near the punishment endured by Rocky and remain alive for the duration.other than that,the movie is well done.though not as good as Rocky2,it is a close second to the original.A fine addition to the series. 8/10
