Rocky IV thumps Forrest.

Rocky by split decision...

Team Rocky here.

Forest is probably a "better" film but Rocky IV is much more entertaining, at least to me.

You know, seeing the comments above I was thinking about how I recall Forrest Gump being a lot of a better movie than Rocky IV, but after rewatching the both of them I have to the conclusion that the shorter runtime of Rocky along with the fact that the movie itself is so bonkers it captivates you works a lot better for Rocky. Sure, Forrest Gump is also larger than life but it's a bit too much at points, even. All Rocky did was end the cold war, Forrest Gump charmed the pants off of literally every American president during the time period the story takes place. At the end of the day, I'll pick Rocky IV, cause even though it's idiotic it is wildly entertaining and I'd much rather rewatch that then I ever would wanna rewatch Gump again.
