It's a bad movie, no doubt, but at the same time, and somewhat paradoxically, it's also a great movie. Figure that one out.

Rating: 8/10 (9 November 2019)

Rocky IV, no doubt, has its motivational and somewhat inspirational moments during its climatic scenes, but it is knocked down by its inconsistent direction and cheesy cliched montages. This fourth installment does induce some patriotism (Cold War era) but doesn't fully satisfy or have the "eye of the tiger".
