Stallone pulls off a fourth sequel

Rating: Null/10 (28 April 2003)

It is rare that an actor (perhaps not the most oscar-winning brilliant one of all time) is able to write an excellent sports movie and follow up with four sequels which he also directs. People may forget that is just what Sylvester Stallone did. Many believed a fourth Rocky couldn't be pulled off - but Stallone did. After loosing his dear friend in Apollo Creed in an "Exhibition" bout against the mountain of muscle Ivan Drago (Dolph Lungdren), Rocky feels he owes it to Apollo and prepares for the fight of his life in Russia. A very entertaining movie from a great actor, writer and director.
