A 7?, yeah I know but it's good

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 1999)

I gave this movie a 7. I know most people are wondering why so I'll break it down. Of all the boxing movies this one, which is very fake when it comes to actual boxing, is the most like boxing. What do I mean, well since Rocky is about heavyweight boxing then one would know how corrupt it has become. I can watch the older fights and wish I could have seen those. Instead I can pop in Rocky IV and get the result I want, America winning. What is better than having your team come out on top every time you see them play? Plus there is a slamming James Brown song in the movie so that automatically gives it more points than Rocky III.
