Under appreciated and underrated completely

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2008)

Put yourself in 1985. You and your friends are going to see Rocky IV. Compared to other cheesy eighties movies like Weird Science, this movie is a cult classic. Name me one eighties movie that creates anything like this one did. It set up the foundation for future movie makers to think about. Sly is a fantastic director and actor. He takes his ideas and sculpts them and molds them into beautiful cinema gold. He has the audience in mind when he makes films. He was thinking 1985. What kind of junk were you doing in 1985? Look at the horrible hair styles and God awful music you were listening to? He put this in his movie because this was YOU. This was what YOU were doing in 1985. If you are not a fan of the series you will still enjoy this film. Stallone is a genius. Give it a try 10/10
