Rocky IV

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Rocky IV inflates the action to absurd heights, but it ultimately rings hollow thanks to a story that hits the same basic beats as the first three entries in the franchise.

Paul Attanasio Washington Post Say what you like about the original Rocky, at least it was about something -- a sweet pug up against the system, and in love with a dowd. Rocky IV appears to be an epic about Sylvester Stallone's penchant for self-abuse. Dec 3, 2018 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire 'Rocky IV' still stands, not as a highlight of the series (certainly not that) but as a quintessential artifact of mid-'80s studio filmmaking: soulless, flag-waving, soundtrack-blasting Product. Apr 30, 2016 Full Review Richard Schickel TIME Magazine Padded with clips from earlier Rocky pictures, adding nothing to his mythic, let alone human dimensions, it lacks even the primitive suspense and crude capacity to release underdog emotions that permitted its predecessors to conquer one's better judgment. May 13, 2015 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine I don’t think there’s been a film before or since that has featured so many montages. Rated: 6/10 Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com Rocky on steroids...full of energy, childish politics, nostalgia for a simple past that never was, and intensely motivational songs… Rated: 3/5 Oct 1, 2023 Full Review Patrick Hicks Feelin' Film Podcast The fourth entry in the Rocky-verse is a hard-hitting 90-minute music video, using political undertones of the Cold War to amplify a grudge match driven by revenge, fear, and guilt. Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
