Interestingly Rocky 4 made the most money out of all the films. Oh and if you have not seen this yet here is a brilliant parody / documentary about Rocky 4
It was great. Entertaining on its own two legs and didn’t rely on the nostalgia to make it work, even thought there was a lot of nods for people familiar with the series.
Rocky is just such a wonderful character with his goofy observations. I amost prefer him as a senior in the new films than when he was a boxer.
Adonis and Amara are great characters.
Boxing scenes were gripping too.
One of the best in the whole series IMO.
Some spoiler thoughts:
It would have been such a nostalgia trip and probably would have made the film worse as a stand-alone piece, but I was so certain Rocky was going to take Creed to Russia to train as we were going to have ‘hearts on fire montage’ v2! The desert montage was still good though.
No big inspirational speech from Rocky this time, but I suppose you can’t always have one. That Rocky Balboa speech (from Rocky 6) is such a tear jerker!
