Kevin Maher Times (UK) As ridiculously entertaining and impeccably well constructed as it is preposterous. Rated: 4/5 Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Scott Tobias Guardian In any form, Rocky IV remains a goofy, threadbare fantasy of Reagan-era bootstrap-ism and political saber-rattling, with every mighty Rocky punch landing like a sledgehammer to the Berlin Wall. Rated: 2/5 Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Ooh, that Drago is the worst! Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez InSession Film Tone and pacing switcheroos do the heart-pounding substances some justice, even though its story still has holes that can’t be patched up; Stallone did a fine job trying to fasten a broken film. Rated: C+ Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy This version is a fraction better than the original, but not enough to move the needle in any discernible manner. Rated: 2/4 Mar 13, 2023 Full Review Patrick Hicks Feelin' Film Podcast Sylvester Stallone takes his 80s sports film & manages to change the narrative tone, and character motives, all for the better, while keeping what made this film memorable and allowing it to fit naturally in the overarching journey of the Rocky franchise. Rated: 4.5/5 Feb 28, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

G. A A completely different movie, restructured and recomposed with a dramatic vein without losing its 1980s essence, improving on what was already good in the theatrical version and making room for improvements in the fights, sound design and other technical elements Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review Howard H Another great entry to series. Cold war drama at its best. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Always Be C As a big fan who grew up with these movies I was interested to see this. I preferred the more character driven first half and the deletion of the annoying robot. I think the later fight scene while being more realistic lost something without the bombastic over the top theatre. Still very glad I have see. It. Ideally I would have included a bit more of the original to expand the story. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review The Sawyer E It's a good re-doing of the film. And if I didn't know how the movie ended and it was my first time seeing it I'd probably be blown away by it 🤯. But the directors cut isn't quite as good as the original. It was just a little too rough cut. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Marcin M Thanks this version now I really like Rocky 4. But Only director cut version. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review 55555giulio This was the first movie I ever saw at the cinema and as an 80s kid it blew your mind with the visual and montage delivery! I actually prefer the new version as it makes it stand up in more realistic way than the original… There's always some negative idiots that just hate on everything but the reality is that in 1985 this knocked Return of the Jedi and ET off the uk box office and made it back to the cinema 35 years later because it's fucking fantastic!
