Summary: BEST ROCKY MOVIE EVER MADE!!
Review: The 4th part of the rocky series, standing in the left corner its the one and only itallian stallian, Rocky Ballboa.BETTER THEN THE ORIGINAL:
Have to say this is the greatest of all the rocky series, usually i agree with others on believing originals are oringials and nothing can beat that.But in this case its different, Rocky IV proved to be better then all the titles.
The reasons are the action, suspense and revenge all come into one package which is this brilliant movie.I advice everyone to watch the previous parts because the movie is a sequence. BRILLIANT SOUNDTRACK:
The Rocky IV soundtrack was amazing, with the best artists such as Survivor.During the movie you will hear music titles of Burning heart, hearts on fire and other stuff. NOT JUST ACTION, THIS MOVIE IS SENDING ANOTHER MESSAGE:
Alot of Rocky fans just get excited to see fighting in the ring and to see his training. In Rocky IV that is a little perecentage of what Slyvester stallone is trying to show the audience. In this movie he is trying to show countries shouldnt go to war, we should unite together. A very imortant message in this movie and should be remembered along with the cooooool action. ITS WORTH EVERY DOLLER OR PENNY:
I strongly suggest if you are into sports related movies contaning love, revenge and pure action then this movie is for you.It is worth having in your DVD collection, belive me i exchanged it for LORD OF THE RINGS : )

Summary: Rocky IV is worth 5 stars. The best in the 'Rocky' trilogy.
Review: Ivan 'Drago' a russian fighting 'machine' makes this film the best, after Drago kills Rocky's best friend 'Apollo Creed' in the ring on american soil, Rocky makes no decision time and is quicky on his way to Russia to destroy 'Drago' in the ring, despite Rocky's wife Adrian telling him to retire and that he 'cant win'. Infact Rocky was meant to retire after defeating Apollo Creed and defending his title many times, but he went on, and on and on. Apollo Creed and Rocky were far from best friends in Rocky and Rocky II. In Rocky III they come together and Apollo trains Rocky to be able to win against a strong unpleasant component played by Mr. T. Still I'd say the strongest fighter in the whole Rocky Trilogy was DRAGO. Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

Summary: Eye of the Tiger meets the Burning Heart
Review: Words cannot describe the depth or the human emotion that went into the making of this film. When his own wife shrieks "You can't win!", it's all the isnpiration Rocky needs to defeat Ivan Drago, the super human boxer from the Soviet Union. Brigette Neilsen comes along for the ride in this one as Drago's Ice Queen wife. Action Jackson, I mean Carl Weathers from the first three Rocky movies is now dead, killed by Drago in an exhibition fight. NoW Rocky must go to Moscow and fight Drago before a crowd of heartless, godless, and sinister Russians, oh can you feel the drama building? "He's not a machine! He's a man!" screams Rocky's coach as Rocky finally lands one punch after 15 rounds of boxing. Though Rambo, I mean Rocky, looks like a leaky catsup bottle, his spirit and fighting desire carry him on to win. Of course at the beginning of part V, Rocky now has brain damage. I thought that was evident from Stallone's first scene in Rocky I. At any rate, if you are a George W. Bush supporter who thumps his chest with a heavy fist and proclaims that all of America is represented by a few right wing knuckleheads, this movie is perfect for you.

Summary: Great direction, good acting, no plot, REALLY BAD dialogue
Review: First off, Bridgette Nielson was no great actress. Remember her speech which she summarizes the American attitude towards Russians thusly: "You think that YOU are so very good, and WE are so very BAD!!" Yikes! Granted, she didn't have much to work with in the way of dialogue, now did she? This is truly disenheartening when one reflects that Stallone is a good writer, both of plot and of dialogue. "Rocky", "Rocky II", "First Blood", "Cliffhanger", and "The Lords of Flatbush" are all testaments to this fact. So what happened? Why the absense of good dialogue? Where's the plot? "Where's the beef?", to quote a colloquialism popular at the time of this film's release? Well, as Gene Siskel remarked, there was a time in Stallone's career when he devoted more energy to expanding his biceps that to writing great films. Sadly, "Rocky IV" stands as a testament to the late Mr. Siskel's insightful observation. Granted, in a film of this nature, one can't expect too many plot surprises. It is, after all, a film about a boxer who boxes. Still, what made "Rocky" and "Rocky II" so compeling was Stallone's ability to add a very human story of triumph over not just external adversity, but also over one's internal feelings of worthlessness. Both Rocky Balboa and Adrian (portrated by gifted actress Talia Shire) are shown stepping out of the roles the world would prescribe for them and instead embracing one another. In so doing, they triumph over the worldly adversities imposed upon them. Stallone tries to re-create that in "Rocky IV", but doesn't quite make it. Why? Because he's repeating himself. Rocky and Adrian have already proved themselves to be worthy, respectable people. That was accomplished by the end of "Rocky II". To have to continually demonstrate one's worthiness is, in effect, to express doubt in exactly what it is one is seeking to prove. So, Rocky loses his best friend Apollo to a "Demonstration Bout" with Drago. He of course seeks to avenge his fallen friend, and the rest is easy to predict. Rocky must prove to those pesky Russians that they won't have the upper hand with us, etc. The film ends with Rocky giving a speech about change, which is something he doesn't do at all in the film, so it is difficult to see how this speech ties into the plot. To offer a few compliments to what is otherwise a bad review, let me say this: this film is beautifully photographed, and Stallone's boxing choreography is both exciting and riveting, as usual. This, however, ultimately adds to my poor assessment of this film, in a rather ironic way. You see, the direction and acting in the film are really quite good. What sucks is the plot and dialogue. As Paul Newman said, "Give an actor a good script and he can move the earth". Well, considering the level of writing these actors had to work with, I suppose they were just doing the best they could. Even Stallone.

Summary: Rocky is still the champ
Review: Yes. Here it is. The 3rd sequel to Rocky. Many people are saying :give it up already." But I have to say that they are doing a damn good job of making Rocky sequels. Not one of them has repeated the other's story. And each of them is very inspiring and fun to watch again and again. Rocky IV, like always, picks up where the last one, Rocky III left off. Rocky has won back his title from Clubber Lang and him and Apollo are good friends. Rocky lives at home with his wife, son, and brother-in-law, is living a perfectly normal life, and best of all, no one has challenged him to any fights. But now Russia has decided to throw it's hands in the ring. They land in america with the perfect fighting weapon: Ivan Drago. A man trained with computers and has a 2010 psi punch. But when Apollo overhears the announcement on his t.v., he wastes no time in setting up a match between the two men so that he can prove to the whole world that the U.S.A. are the real champs when it comes to boxing. But within the 2nd round, Apollo is knocked out and killed. Now Rocky takes action to avenge his friend's death. He challenges Ivan to a boxing match held in Russia. He is to live and train in a cabin in the dead of winter to prepare for his greatest challenge ever. In fear of losing his life and leaving his wife and son alone, he still cannot get the words out of his head, "I am a fighter. We can't change who we truly are." Rocky IV is definatly not the best Rocky movie. But it definatly deserves 5 stars. It stays original and still delivers very good performances from Sylvester Stallone and the rest of the returning Rocky cast. A must to complete the Rocky collection and a must for any true Rocky fan. "ROCKY IV" runs for about 95 minutes. It is rated PG for violence and some language.

Summary: The Cold War in a Ring
Review: You don't get drama better than this. A Russian Communist against a Philidelphian American. The first capital of the USA. Of course somebody dies to get the anger for redemption. Sylvester Stallone makes you fall into his life filled with guilt, love and hate. You cheer with him and cry with him, but he always comes out on top, no matter what. Even if the enemy is using performance enhancing drugs, it doesn't matter. He had heart and determination. That just tells you that's all you need in life.

Summary: The worst movie in the history of celluloid.
Review: Seriously. Worse than can even be imagined.Worse than I or any one else could ever describe. The veritable definition of movie-star egomania. Awful beyond all comprehension. Just...awful.

Summary: Rocky Ae His Best!
Review: This movie showed the toughness of Rocky Balboa in a no holds
barred fashion. Rocky's competitor-friend Apollo Creed fights
the Russian boxing machine Drago(ably played by Dolph Lungren).
and is killed in the fight. Rocky travels to Russia to fight Drago and gain vengance for Creed. You are able to witness a
strict training regimine by Rocky to prepare for the fight.Our
heor is also having to compete with age.The actual fight turns into a behind kicking contest.First the Russian crowd is for Drago. Because of Rocky's guts and determination the crowd turns in his favor.There is a tremendous ammount of punishment dished out on both sides. There is never a question who will win the fight. This is an excellent movie that you should not miss.

Summary: Eye Candy
Review: When this movie first came out, it was rather accurately described as a ninety minute music video. The photography is gorgeous and the fight scenes excitingly coreographed. The story (and acting) is pure drivel. The movie is very watchable but isn't one you will go back to over the years. myke

Summary: Rocky review....
Review: I thought this Rocky movie was the best of the series. He is a little older but maybe not wiser for fighting Drago. But the natural way that he toughened himself up for the fight was terrific too. That was a better way to do it. He knew that Drago was on steriodsa so it was a great move on his part to cut him in order to win. Best move on his part.
