Good light entertainment.Stallone V Lundgren is one of the best fights of the Rocky series.

Rating: 7/10 (9 May 2008)

Okay,hands up,i enjoyed Rocky IV.Sure,its shamefully cheesy and the concept of Rocko fighting the cold war and uniting the USA with the USSR is beyond the ridiculous but hey,its all good fun.This time round Balboa faces his hardest fight against man mountain Dolph Lundgren, the size difference between the men creates a real David and Goliath setting and has you rooting for the old slugger all the way.Its really hard not to get caught up in the fight.The boxing scenes are a little amped up for the movie experience but lets face it, we all love the underdog and that is what the core theme of the Rocky films are about.The films may have gradually weakened up to this point the the character is an icon of American cinema now and Stallone still looks the part ten years on from when he first introduced him.Its a guilty pleasure so i have to give Rocky IV a 6/10.
