Great Action Film

Rating: 7/10 (23 August 2006)

This is one of my favourites, a film I have literally seen 100+ times. I won't however go and say this is 10/10, I give it an 8. The training montages in this film are quite grand. Being 3/4 Russian myself I believe the film does a fairly good job of presenting the Soviet Union. Of course no matter the outcome a Soviet crowd would not cheer for the American opponent, but, nonetheless. The action was very well done for the final fight. In true Rocky spirit, there has to be something that forces Rocky to fight for his life.
The first film is obviously about Rocky's one in a million chance.
The second is for pride, and to get himself and his family out of a hard spot.
The third is about Rocky's fighting spirit.
The fourth is for his friend, Apollo, who the Russian fighter, Ivan Drago kills in the 2nd Round.
Overall a great film, I recommend it.
