Atom User Reviews
The movie takes what was an 80s campy film into something that's a little more serious. The robot is gone which is good. Some of the additional scenes were not necessary like Adrian and Rocky in the kitchen. It was good to see Drago have a few more lines. It actually built a little more depth to his character. Was a little bit choppy in spots. If they had included a few bits from the original it probably would have smoothed out the choppy spots. All in all very interesting watch definitely recommend for any Rocky fan.
Sly has done a great job. Made a really good film into a great film. I will also be buying the digital copy.
Metacritic
Whereas Stallone with Rambo is messing around with real places and real events, in Rocky IV we all know that this is pure Hollywood, pure fantasy. And very well made Hollywood fantasy, indeed.
The jingoism is blindingly awful, but by the time of the showdown, the film has descended into an unaware parody of itself.
This is grim and witless storytelling, and what makes it so depressing is that it hasn't improved by so much as a chemical trace since the days of the first Rocky.
