A 90 minute music video

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2004)

As an American of Italian decent who was 7 years old when this movie came out, I have to get down on my knees and praise that this was one of the greatest movies ever made! As a critic, I can list a number of complaints. Still, the production value and Sly's talents of acting, writing, and directing this movie, are excellent. Overall, this is a 90 minute music video with some great 80's songs and montage sequences. Dolph Lundgren would agree that this movie made him a star. Since Rocky IV, Dolph has gone on to star in a number of straight to video action films that nobody has seen.
In the end, Rocky IV remains one of the very few entertaining propaganda films that Americans loved.
