opens with a chilling scene in which Rocky realizes he probably has irreversible brain damage. then it settles in to a nice, boring, nostalgic recapitulation of his magnanimity and righteous pride, spiced up with a borderline racist and not particularly clever Don King takeoff. perhaps the saddest and most affecting story here is that both of Rocky's sons here, real and surrogate, got into trouble and died too young in real life.
Imagine being the lucky person that gets to buy Paulie’s robot at the Balboa estate auction
Tommy Gunn: You don't own me! You don't own me! Nobody does! I want my respect.
Rocky Balboa: Well come and get it!
Here it is, the Rocky movie that to most people is known rather as the skid mark of the franchise, a piece of lonely shit, the movie nobody likes or one of the worst movies of all time. Now I fully understand why most people dislike this movie, the new soundtrack, the fighter, Tony Ever's and well mainly because they wanted to take the franchise in a new direction and to be honest I liked that about this movie, it wasn't predictable or repeating the same thing (no offence at all to the other Rocky movies) Stallone…
So funny that this was meant to be a back-to-street-level basics recalibration for this franchise and it's arguably even more of a cartoon than IV in terms of the writing and performing of its drama, it's just also scaled down in terms of style to try and match the original in a way that makes it the worst of both worlds. I'll take the absurd, egotistical, experimental MTV direction Stallone was seemingly headed in over this any day.
clearly rocky wasn’t the only one who suffered from irreversible brain damage after the fourth film because everyone rates this so low even though it’s obviously GREAT
I really like the first 10 minutes. Rocky needing to face the reality of his situation— his physical and mental health. And then it all derails with the decision to make him poor again. Not that it’s unbelievable Paulie would do something that stupid, but for someone as humble as Rocky, its not like he needed a reminder to remember his roots.
So yeah, movie still sucks but also maybe we can’t hate it too much? The loss of his lavish lifestyle results in the opening of Adrian’s, inadvertently leading to a nice arch in Rocky Balboa and subsequently Creed. But I guess if Stallone himself gives the movie a 0 out of 10, I don’t feel bad giving it a 2.
The wheels had to come off this franchise eventually. This is just proof that the first Rocky film was as good as it was despite John G. Avildsen rather than because of him
ehhhhhhh there was a lot of cool stuff, and a lot of really bad stuff. i don’t like the way rocky acts for most of the movie, but the street fight was pretty satisfying, hated that guy.
also where tf was paulie’s robot wife, did they auction her off offscreen at the beginning? these are the questions i need answered.
Very frustrating. Conceptually there are so many cool ideas, but the execution could not be worse
i wanna say the first 10-15 minutes were fine, then shit started falling down fast like an avalanche. himbo rocky made everything worse, letting a stranger live in his house, giving him everything and neglecting his child
