Predictable

Rating: 3/10 (29 June 2004)

An intellectual could argue that is a classic example of "Cold War stereotypical 1950s attitude of them against and us and we have to win the battle." The opening scene of the US boxing glove and the Russian boxing glove hitting head on and sparks flying everywhere says it all. I can't believe I queued in snow to get into the cinema to watch the film but then again I was a naive 13 year old. The film itself was not terrible but it was pretty predictable. A friend of Rocky aka Apollo Creed dies and Rocky gets depressed but he is snapped out of it and he must do what a man must do and fight the "villain." Isn't that also the theme of the story from Rocky III? Love the scene where Dolph Lundgren is being pumped full off enhancing drugs, surely they are not be stereotypical?
