underestimated movie

Rating: 7/10 (7 August 2001)

Well , here we go again
Rocky 4 is another movie in the rocky saga
The plot goes like this
Apollo and Rocky has now become friends after apollo trained rocky to win the title . Now a extreme russian man (Ivan Drago 6"6 ,261 pounds ) enters the boxing world. Apollo wants to meet (and beat) this man in a show fight . He believes he can do it although he quit boxing almost five years ago .
He is wrong very wrong . Apollo is hurt very badly in the first round. He tells rocky not to stop the match , and the price he has to pay is his life. He is killed by Drago in the second round . Rocky blames himself for not have stopped the fight and promise himself the revenge his friend. He gives up his title, and goes to train in russia , for a match against drago. His training is old-fashioned , like chopping woods,climbing mountains and with help from his friends , Paulie, his wife Adrian and Tony Duke, Apollos former trainer . Drago prepares himself for the fight in a top training center , and with anabolic steroids
when its time for match , they both are in top condition , and it is just a question who wants it most....
Most people doesnt like this movie they say its unrealistic . the fact that drago hits 2150 pounds is perhaps totally unrealistic , but if you see this facts more close they tell you that a average boxer hits 700. Drago hits 3 times harder than a normal boxer , is Rocky a average boxer? hmmmm
I think this is a great movie , it not my favourite rocky movie Rocky -76) , but it has some great moments. The training scenes (best in series), they put in some humor with Drago as the new challenger and the music is great "livin in America, Eye of the tiger, its a man against man , burning heart " Also good acting by Stallone as usual.
An underestimated movie that is enjoyable and fun to watch when Rocky faces his worst opponent ever. . This is a good movie , and i recommend it . It goes the distance with the other Rocky movies
7.5/10
