Movie Review #15: Rocky IV

About ten years ago someone sat me down and made me watch through the first three Rocky movies. (At least, I think I watched Rocky III. I don't really remember the fight itself.) We didn't make it to the fourth movie, though, so that was the extent of my Rocky experience until now. Having watched The Running Man, though, I needed balance my Arnold with some Sly. Rocky IV came up on my Netflix account, so here we go.

Short review: the Rocky formula is used to tell a story that addresses the Cold War in classic 80s fashion. Its substance is a bit thin, but if you want to be inspired to get back into a workout routine this movie will do the trick.
