Useless nonsense

Rating: 1/10 (31 October 2019)

Stallone did to the Rocky franchise with this film the same thing he did to the Rambo franchise with Rambo III.
This is a film that tests the limits of silliness in the decade that was marked by excess. And it fails. What it comes down to is a moronic, barely existing plot, and action that appears to consists of music videos. It all ends with the most ridiculous boxing match ever put on screen, in whose climax the entire people of the USSR start cheering for Rocky, for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It is also meant to be a sign that all it takes for Russians to embrace capitalism and abandon everything they believe in, is for some American guy to beat up one of theirs.
