Matt W This is my favorite movie of all time. I've seen it over a hundred times at least. When I was training for Ironman triathlons, I would put it on the night before a big training session and be so pumped up the next day and smash my sessions. This is the best edited movie ever, besides maybe Predator. Stallone is a genius. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Shaun R From the first second of this movie to the last, it is high drama, classic 80s tunes, unforgettable training montages and the greatest boxing fight scenes in movie history. Has there ever been a soundtrack that still inspires gym users more than Rocky 4? From all the flashbacks to the heartbreaking Apollo Creed scenes, this movie is simply awesome. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Troy Minh C Absolute classic. The pitting of a Soviet beast against a smaller but resilient American is eye candy. Ivan Drago is the most memorable and greatest villain from the Rocky films. The film’s soundtrack is the best of the films as well, a must watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Jay W Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day: Some might call this one a guilty pleasure, but I can't help but LOVE this movie. This was the first Rocky Movie I saw, and it instantly became one of my favorite movies. Even after watching all the films, this was still my childhood favorite. I enjoy the fact that this film has taken on a life of its own. Even if people haven't seen a Rocky movie, they will still cite, "the one where he fights the Russian". It has become a staple of 80's pop culture; in fact, it was named by Patrick Williems as the "Most 80's Movie ever made". It is the only one that Stallone went back to and made its own director's cut of the film. It remains the highest grossing entry of the entire franchise. And yes, my brain knows that on paper, there is not much to this movie. When people dismiss the Rocky Franchise as "just a boxing movie" this might be the film they're referring to. Most of the film entries of the Rocky Franchise are dramas about characters who happen to box. Rocky IV is an action movie. But instead of guns and explosions, it is all a set up for the big boxing match. The movie's story is insultingly simple. There is a big bad guy that Rocky must go beat up. But in order to beat him up he is going to have to get stronger. In the other films there would also be some emotional obstacle he would have to overcome in order to train at his best. Not this one, this one he just has to work out. And work out he does. The movie is no joke, 15% training montage. With a sharp 90 minutes runtime it is the best workout movie anyone could ask for. Helping with that reputation is some of the greatest training music of all time. Find this soundtrack and put it on your playlist. You will be running faster and jumping higher. And let's not forget, this was the fight that ended the Cold War, so it has great historical significance. It may be just a work out movie, but that works out well for the movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Stephen H “If he dies, he dies.” Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Nick R Awesome yet over the top, filled with drama but also cheesy, Rocky 4 is a wild ride. It's very iconic till today and has some great moments, but it's a little far out there and the ending is a bit unbelievable. But who cares when you feel like you can take on the whole world at the end from the sheer hype alone! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
