  I will forever be impressed that a 90 minute movie was able to fit in 3 montages and a full-length performance of Living in America by James Brown.

  Normal Brain: Stallone went to Russia to make a piece of Cold War propaganda. At least 30 percent of the movie is training montages.

  Galaxy Brain: Stallone went to Russia to make a tribute to the geniuses of Soviet montage. Rocky IV is at least 30 percent training montages because Rocky IV is the American Man With a Movie Camera, and Stallone is our Dziga Vertov.

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  90 percent montage. 5 percent Sylvester Stallone's russia-beard. 2 percent ridiculous 80's robot. 2 percent Carl fucking Weathers getting punched-in-the-head to death. 1 percent not giving a fuck. 100 percent American.

  Fuck it, this is perfect junk food. Sure its 50% montages and recycled footage but I can't remember the last time a movie left me feeling this stoked.

  (Rocky IV: Rocky Vs. Drago - The Ultimate Director's Cut)

  Stallone managed to knock out most of the cheese from my favorite guilty pleasure, and transform it into a legitimate contender.

  "I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!"

  It is mind-blowing just how much great material Sylvester Stallone salvaged from the cutting room floor to change Rocky IV from being a critical punching bag, into a powerful story of pride and redemption. The whole first act now brings you into Apollo's mindset of the fight, with him wanting to reverse the propaganda machine brought on by Drago's camp.

  Overall this new version manages to strip out the…
