Chicago Tribune - Gene Siskel
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.

Orlando Sentinel - Jay Boyar
The film is a slugger that keeps hitting you with one obvious image after another. Funny thing, though: Obviousness is sometimes effective. If Rocky IV doesn't kill you, it'll conquer you.

Variety - Unnamed
Beyond its visceral appeal, Rocky IV is truly the worst of the lot, though Stallone himself is more personable in this one and that helps.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Rocky IV is movie-making by the numbers. Even the climactic fight scene isn't as exciting as it should be, maybe because we know with a certainty born of long experience how it will turn out.

Empire - Ian Nathan
The jingoism is blindingly awful, but by the time of the showdown, the film has descended into an unaware parody of itself.
