A fist of fun, and a damn enjoyable movie

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2000)

Since the original Rocky (1976), there has been an ever increasing amount of cheese throughout the subsequent installments. This film strives for action rather than a complex storyline, and consequently becomes a more than enjoyable jaunt than the later Rocky V.
Musically the film is awesome, continuing from Rocky III's inspiring 'Eye of the Tiger' theme. The burning heart and There's No Easy Way Out are undoubted favourites in boxing gyms today. When this is combined with the customary training montage... I just want to get down the gym myself!!!
Critics will obviously attack the realism of the film- how can two heavyweight boxers forget about defence?, How come every punch is a huge swinger? and How is that Robot so bloody intelligent? Okay so this isn't Raging Bull, but it is one of those truly classic 80's action films.
If you fancy a good'old action film that makes you feel good I suggest having a gander at this little beauty.
