Rocky 4 was not bad not at all if heavily influenced by the times it was made in. But I think it did go too far, ie Paulie's robot, and a super Russian who creams Apollo but has so much trouble with Rocky. It wasn't realistic for Rocky to withstand so many rounds even if he was in better shape than Apollo IMO

The robot idea was out there and Rocky should have been knocked out considering the amount of punches that him and the force that super steroid Russian Ivan Drago hit with it. I liked Rocky's speech after the fight.

exactly. not just knocked out,but killed as well as i said in my opening post-something evander holified -who WOULD know something about that,said so as well,thats why its such a pathetic movie.stallone should be shot for that travesty.god if I had known he was going to do what he did with Rocky 4 back then when he was making Rocky 3, I would have cheered if Mr t had knocked him out and killed Rocky for making that crapfest movie and then Rocky 5. 😠 thats what I loved so much about the first 3 Rocky films and what made them such magical movies was the realisem in them.

Mr. Parker you have such a strong opinion on everything, lol. I think Rocky should have ended at 3 as well but hey it was during the Cold War where everything had that Americans can beat anyone episode or movie , even Head of the Class
another one of those rare occasions we agree with each other. 😄

balboa was better than Rocky 3Its nice to have a rocky 3 because Rocky doesnt learn how to box until the third installment. I agree that rocky 4 and 5 should be memory wiped from the worlds mind (men in black stye) we should create a memory inhibitor just to forget about Rocky 4 and 5.
I think Balboa ends the series far better than the near miss off rocky 3. Rocky 1 he went the distance, rocky 2 he became the champ, rocky 3 he learned how to fight like a professional. Balboa wraps everything up with Rocky deaing with his greatest loss...,Adrian. Life, although, goes on and rocky is a fighter. He learns a fighters sprit never dies.
well said,great post.yeah that would be awesome if they had a memory inhibitor out there so we could have those autrocious Rocky 4 and Rocky 5 movies wiped from our memory. yeah that would have been acceptable if they had skipped rocky 4 and 5 and just went to rocky balboa to end it all.I agree that Balboa was defenetely better than 4 and 5 easily.

some of us expect Rocky movies to have realisem in it.AGAIN thats why Rocky 4 sucks the worst because of that,read the beginning post,obviously you didint.at least it would have been relistic if he had lost. 🙄 No only a complete idiot would love that movie. 🙄
i think you need to loosen up
other people have opinions
they might like Rocky IV and say its the best and they have every right to do so
laughing at them is needless elitism
i liked Rocky V it was the first Rocky movie i ever saw and inspired me to see Rocky I-IV
Tommy Gunn was an actually interesting villain and for once we saw Rocky's opponent built up and developed before the climactic fight
i found that interesting

Are you kidding me? The Rocky movies are some of the most unrealistic movies ever. There is no way some small white guy can get his ass kicked by a big black guy for like 5 rounds, then magically come back and win it all in the last round.
Totally unrealistic.

The problem with all the Rocky 4 (and some of Rocky 4.. actually forget that) is that there is realism allllllll the way through.... until the ****ing fights! Parts of Rocky are so grim it reflects 60's British cinema at times. But then as soon as the fights start it's game over! Even if Rocky's head fell off he'd still win.
Rocky is the best
Rocky 2 is... hang on ain't this Rocky 1?
Rocky 3... wtf Mr T can't act, these fights are stupid.
Rocky 4... this is awful.. I don't care... COME ON ROCK!!!
Rocky 5... only seen it once when I was 12 so don't really remember.
Rocky Balboa... throws me back to the original.. until the fight.
