Clash of the Superpowers !

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2000)

Rocky III was great , Rocky IV was even better . Rocky IV has a lot of emotion ,detail , action , and adventure , even a very commendable Training Montage . First , Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) and Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) conclude their little exhibition fight after the fight with Mr T. Now a Russian Almost Super-Human Fighter named Ivan Drago challenges and literally pounds on Apollo Creed during an "exhibition" match resulting in Apollo's death .
Rocky , Stricken with Anger travels to Russia to avenge his friend's Death.Training under the Guidance of Apollo's Manager (Tony Burton)in the cold depths of Russia , the Stallion again re-enters the ring to face Drago himself , not for the Heavyweight Title , but for revenge and to protect the Pride of the United States .
Rocky IV is an excellent movie with beautiful music and breath-taking suspense and action . The Boxing Scenes may not be very well acted out , but the emotion Rocky shows after Apollo's Death is very dramatic , and the Training Montage is beautiful ..
