Still fun but the worst of the first four

Rating: 7/10 (5 April 2015)

Rocky 4 has Rocky fighting his most powerful opponent yet the Russian hulk Ivan Drago. Drago has killed Apollo Creed in an exhibition match and Rocky wants revenge.
Unfortunately whilst the plot is OK, unfortunately it swaps any drama for too many video montages. The generic American rock soundtrack is dreadful and adds nothing to the film. Along with this there are some pretty terrible stereotypes and some crass scenes.
For all it's flaws this still manages to entertain and the bottom line is this is it's purpose. The fight scenes are as brutal as ever and the Drago V Creed fight is really well done.
For Rocky fans this is still a good nights entertainment.
