Who doesn't love this film??????? IDK how anyone couldn't, Now i couldn't tell you how many times i've seen Rocky IV, but i would guess it's in the 100's. There were a few movies that from the age of 8 through the age of 17, If I wanted to just watch an awesome movie that had great entertainment value, and Rocky IV was on thet list.

Now I do realize as an adult now that it is extraordinarily cheesy, and there is about 30 minutes of montages, and like they run almost back to back to back. From the moment Rocky gets in the Lambo, thinking about the Apollo dying, and then there is a 5 minute break when Pauly…

Is Rocky IV a super cheesy movie? Sure it is! But as my first ever Rocky movie, there is just something about the campy adrenaline-fueled ride this takes me on that has become so deeply embedded in me, and is one of my supreme guilty pleasures.

"All your strength, all your power, all your love. Everything you've got. Right now!"

All the reasons I love this movie:

- The most epic throw-down boxing duel of the franchise between Rocky and Drago
- Starting off with the all-time great Rocky tune 'Eye of the Tiger'
- Russian history has always been an interest of mine, and I enjoy seeing all the USSR decor
- Montages on top of montages! Aside from…

The most commercially successful film in Rocky franchise that utilises the tension between US & USSR to its advantage, there is no denying that Rocky IV brims with a strong dose of patriotism from start to finish but apart from that and a truly intimidating antagonist, there is nothing impressive about it for the story is only as good as the previous two chapters.

The fourth instalment in the Rocky series, Rocky IV continues the journey of Rocky Balboa as the reigning world heavyweight champion challenges a virtually invincible opponent from the Soviet Union for a match in Moscow in order to avenge the death of Apollo Creed, who was mercilessly beaten to death by the Russian in an exhibition match,…

A few stray notes that likely won't make it in the final piece:

-This movie has more training montages than fights. By a fair margin.

-Rocky and Adrian have almost the exact same argument in ROCKY III and ROCKY IV (whether to fight or not fight), except this time they've completely switched positions. In ROCKY III, Rocky yells "I don’t want to lose what I got!” and Adrian says who cares. In ROCKY IV, when Rocky tells her he's going to fight Drago, Adrian asks "You’re willing to lose everything?” and Rocky replies, “Adrian, this ain’t everything. This house, the cars, all the stuff we got, it ain’t everything." Seen years apart, no one would notice; viewed back to back…

"Hit the one in the middle," - A little concussion humor from Pauly,

Rock'em Sock'em robots use more defense than Drago and Rocky do in this movie.

Given the growing tensions between the United States and Russia I wanted to watch this film to remind myself how easy it is to cure cold wars...you simply send Sylvester Stallone and you know what he does? He gets that shit done.

In Rocky IV, Rocky is well-off and retired. Apollo Creed, also retired, can't handle the doldrums of normal life and agrees to fight a gigantic Soviet killing machine named Ivan Drago and it does not go well. After Rocky hard core emos out, which includes full-scale Aggro-driving while a montage of…

Só faltou o "make America great again"

Eu gostei do filme das primeiras vezes que eu vi, mas agora que eu revi eu percebi o como esse filme é péssimo e vazio, é só uma propaganda longa e patriota.

Primeiramente, a forma que os soviéticos são tratados é esteriotipada demais, eles são tratados como cientistas malvadões que querem destruir os americanos, tanto que o vilão do filme é uma máquina criada na base de doping e experimento. Não é só a forma que os soviéticos são tratados que é esteriotipada, a Rússia, o lugar, é apresentado de forma muito preconceituosa e generalista, parece que tudo na Rússia é só neve, caras barbudos e que não tem nenhum tipo de recurso…
