Everything it should have been from the start. Kudos to Sly for removing the robot and other 1980’s cheesiness.
Best directors cut of any movie I have ever seen!
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.
