30 Years Ago Today: Rocky IV (with Ivan Drago) debuts in theaters

[Enfuego]

Any of you see it in the theater?

Shit, I Remember seeing Rocky at the theater .. 1976

some of you weren't even Born yet @)

The beginning of the end for the Franchise. 1st 3 were fantastic, 4 was silly, 5 was worse, etc. We'll see about Creed but I'm not optimistic.

This one was still pretty good. I saw it in the theater (I was 15 at the time).

I'm looking forward to seeing Creed. Not sure how it will be, but it's a good concept to keep the franchise going. Rocky's son was a pussy, so it wouldn't have worked having his son (movie character) doing a sequel.

 

[Betallsports]

All review have been good with Creed

Best line in movie history...you vill lose.

Thought Creed was very good. Probably because Stallone didn't have a hand in the script. Stallone was actually good in it. Worth seeing though in my opinion. Enjoyed it.

I thought 4 and 5 were good. 5 gets a bad rap but it was different than all the previous ones. Kinda gets old where some guys talks shit to Balboa then knocks out 40 guys; everyone acts like Rocky's opponent is great, then Rocky trains while all the soundtracks play, then at the end he "wins with heart". That was basically the first 4 Rocky's. 4 was good because of the Russian guy plus The Cold War helped.

Word in hollywood circles is that Stallone is a lock for an oscar

He was good. I was surprised.

Rocky 1 and 2 he was retarded, Rocky 3 and 4 he was intelligent, back to retard in 5.....semi retard in 6. Now in creed he was pretty normal overall.

I like 4.

5 was awful. That George Washington Duke aka don King character was horrible.

You really thought 1 was Bad ??

It was made for next to nothing and made a ton from an unknown ( probably will never happen again )

Great story line

 

[buddylou]

I thought 4 was great. "YOU CANT WIN" "HES CUT" "BALBOA CHOPPING THE BIG RUSSIAN DOWN"

No. I loved one. Just was talking about Balboa in the movie. Seemed he went from mentally challenged in 1 and 2 and then was real intelligent in the next 2.....unti back to mentally challenged in 5.

I liked all rocky a lot , except for 5, I was more commenting on the progression and regression of the Rocky character.

Glad to hear. I look forward to seeing it.

Yeah guess he got some acting lessons after the success he had with 1 & 2. Because Stallone was a nobody / Street thug before writing and starring in Rocky
He got a little Cocky

Saw in theater, remember the theater erupting in cheer when Rock cut the Russian..........."you see, you see, he is not a machine, he's a man!"
