Favorite Boxing Movie.

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2019)

The opening shot of the two boxing gloves exploding is the worst part of this movie, well that and the stupid robot, after that it's pure GOLD. Dolph Lundgren is definitely the greatest opponent that Rocky has faced, he's a cold-blooded punch throwing machine. I love that Drago spends a majority of the movie as a silent antagonist to Rocky's more outspoken protagonist. Rocky IV is a far step from the original Rocky, this adventure feels far more like a modern sports film rather than a gritty story that Rocky I & II offered. It's a fun, fast, testosterone boosted thrill-ride.
