"I must break you!!"

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2018)

This installment of Rocky slightly recaptures the inspiration and spirit of the originals, but seems to be missing something. It wasn't long enough and had too many montages to lengthen it out. I must say that the montage of Rocky driving his Ferrari thinking about his now deceased friend brought more emotional impact to the film. The scene of the American boxing commission refusing to sanction Rocky's fight with Drago should of been included in the original because it clears up the confusion as to why the title was not on the line. Great music although I miss Bill Conti's score from the previous films. Solid performances from everbody including Bridgette Nielson as she's basically Drago's wife and spokesperson. Dolph Lundgren didn't have to do too much except look intimidating and destroy people. The Russian spectators suddenly cheering for Rocky half way through the fight? Give me a break. Entertaining but a little far fetched
