The fourth sequel, surprisingly with the most punch!

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 1999)

What has Rocky been about? Rocky sums it up in this movie with the line "Maybe this fights not against him... it's you against you," I feel music is of prime importance to a film, I thought Vince DiCola's training montage and the ring music were absolutely brilliant. This film showed Rocky's passion more than ever, the human spirit is indomitable. Much of the film focused on Rocky's training, a hellish, and trying ordeal that would make someone wonder why Rocky could accomplish the impossible. The death of a loved friend set his soul ablaze, and he put out the fire in the end. It's a very emotional movie, I think it is the best of the Rocky series, with 3 coming in close behind.
