Great movie

Rating: 6/10 (3 February 2004)

If "Rocky IV" would have been longer it would probably have been way better... 91 minutes just doesn't do it for a Sylvester Stallone movie.
The movie has one of THE best soundtracks in the business of all time, with 4 great songs in "Eye of the tiger", "No easy way out", "Heart's on fire", and "Burning heart".
Dolph Lundgren as "Drago" was a great find for the movie... he is buff, tall, and may be even better than "Mr. T . I didn't really like Drago's line "If he dies, he dies"... it didn't make him sound strong at all, just like he didn't really care what happened. But what gets me is how does Drago train with machines, all that heavy equipment, and can lift like 800 lbs., but he gets punched in the ribs one hard time and he caves in and Rocky beats him thereafter.
I did love Apollo's intro with James Brown. That was amazing!
The series should have stopped there, in my opinion, because the "Rocky" series is about Sylvester Stallone constantly fighting in every movie, but "Rocky V" has him as a trainer.
In the end, "Rocky IV" is a great movie to watch.
