September 29, 2009The Rocky franchise tried to go political with the Rocky (U.S.A.) against Ivan Drago (USSR). Rocky makes a "democratic" speech at the end in Russia and the Cold War ended right then and there, not really but it was a good scene.
The Rocky series should have ended here but the...( read more) -
August 27, 2009Same shit, different film. The same structure is getting quite tiresome, but welcome to 1985, by now all 80's films must have the following
1. A talking Robot slave/friend
2. A Russian bad Guy
3. Homoerotic revenge
Ok, maybe not every 80's film had homoerotic revenge,...( read more) -

August 23, 2008The almost immediate death in the beginning of this movie totally shocked me! No the best Rocky movie, but not bad.

November 14, 2009My favorite of the series. It's just cool to see Rocky going up against someone that was just supposed to be able to completely destroy him.

November 12, 2009This is the weakest of the Rocky series. The whole thing is just so stupid. But I have to admit. Ever time Rocky landed a punch, I cheered.

November 5, 2009This film was very good however,the begining could of been done in more detail.

June 10, 2008i watched all 4 (not interested in 5 at this time) over the pst 2 days. i hadn't seen the first one in years but they had a marathon of rocky movies on tbs so it resparked my interest. i also recently saw the new rambo...and watched the first one for the first time in years. needless to say, i am on a stallon kick. i think he is fantastic: smart, talented, creative, funny and just an all around cool man. my boyfriend and i like to engage in conversations analyzing the movies! but i am beginning to ramble............
what i am trying to say is.......rocky is one of the most inspirational films i have ever seen in my life.
i guess this comment has becomes a review but oh well.
thanks for reading this far! -

August 21, 2006Rocky IV is a clearly Cold War movie with good will. I love it. After that movie very few boxing stories had been good for me. How ever Rocky III is the best of all, but I consider Rocky IV as having the best training sequence of them all. "Hearts on fire" gives a new an different perspective to the sequence.
And for the son on Rocky I really prefer Rocky Krakoff than Stallone Junior, he is even more alike him.
The soldier that appears at the russian airport is a clear image of the russian people of that time. The silent majority.
