Forget it!

Rating: 4/10 (2 February 2007)

The "Rocky" formula is definitely getting tired in this fourth installment of the boxing franchise that swept the world. Talia Shire, Carl Weathers and Burt Young return, but to no avail. Even newcomers Dolph Lundgren and Brigitte Nielsen cannot get us interested in the predictable storyline.
Sylvester Stallone writes and directs a film that unabashedly uses East versus West in an evil versus good vein. It is pathetic, and only sickeningly patriotic westerners would have fallen for it. The action is better in previous Rocky movies, and I am sick to death of Paulie. This film really needed Burgess Meredith. Forget it!
