As ridiculously entertaining and impeccably well constructed as it is preposterous.

Rated: 4/5

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

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+

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

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

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

Another great entry to series. Cold war drama at its best.

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.

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.
