Rocky 4 Rocky goes to Russia..

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2008)

Rocky four is the most political one of the series and that's it's only real down fall. Of course given that it was filmed in the middle of the cold war and Ronald Reagan was President it was only a matter of time. The Story is simple enough. Ivan Drago Russia's most deadliest fighter comes to America to become A Professional and no one wants to take him seriously until Rocky's Best Friend Apollo Creed decides to come out of retirement and take on Drago. Apollo has a long road ahead of him in Convinceing Rocky that what he wants to do is sane. Rocky agrees and trains Apollo and manages him for his comeback. During the fight Apollo is killed because of Drago's incredible strength. Rocky decides to avenge Apollo's Death and goes to Russia to fight Drago. That's it simple enough Rocky fights the bad Russian and wins and tries to convince the Russian people that all American people ain't so bad. I enjoyed it and it was for a long time my favourite in the Series and it stands up well but on the whole I consider it the weak link in the Rocky Series.
