Stallone knows how to keep a tasty recipe cooking

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2006)

The fourth installment of Rocky is by far one of the most entertaining and fun of the 5. I thought this was the last best Rocky the fifth one wasn't bad but it didn't compare to 1-4. Of course all the Rockys didn't compare to the 1st 1 but this one was great though some may disagree.
Its a very basic and typical sports drama Rocky must battle a deadly(you'll know what I mean by that if you've seen the movie)lethal Russian boxer played very exceptionally by Dolph Lundgren. As writer-director Stallone pulls off the successful formula as used in all the other Rockys as portraying his character as the underdog. And with the insane size of Lundgren and the fight he had with Apollo Creed (again you'll know what I mean if you've seen movie) it was another great underdog tail. Stallone does a well acted job and did not overact why he won a razzie will remain a mystery to the ends of time and he did a very good job as the director as well. Lundgren does a really good job as the erie intimidating and monstrous foreign boxer. Some may argue that he did a bad job cause he didn't talk much but his eyes oh man his eyes and facial expressions made him the perfect choice to portray Ivan Drago. The story's not very original but its presented well and Stallone kept the stove cooking once again I love it! 9/10
