Sly has done a great job. Made a really good film into a great film. I will also be buying the digital copy.
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.
