[@purplehat2989]

This scene is definitely better in he theatrical cut.

4:08 min. Take a look at the head placement of Apollo on left of screen. It jumps between shots

[@Weebs82589]

The music in the directors cut made it more dramatic.

Has Apollo forgotten he's the reason Rocky got the title back

[@ProfessorKenneth]

The original was better. I don't understand why sly trimmed this...it was fine the way it was.

I was waiting on this one, takes place after the garden scene and before the table scene.

[@josephsoberon3217]

Why does the music make it so much better 😂

[@michaelburke7978]

He honestly should've left this scene the way it was. The flow of this scene in the new cut is so rough and abrupt. In the original, the conversation had a much better flow and felt more natural. Cutting lines and reaction shots short was not the way to go about it. Apollo initially taking Rocky's "you against yourself" question literally and making jokes afterward before finally snapping did an excellent job of showing how much in denial Apollo was. Like why cut that?

[@sdprazak]

Agreed 100%!

5:16 sooo ahm aysk’n yooo

[@waynevia6976]

The original part 4 is better. The main thing i hated is that stallone changed is the aspect ratio from 1.85:1 to 2.39:1 which is just cropped top to bottom.

[@CesarCoronel23]

And the end credits finales???

[@DNOstalgia]

😕

[@donnn-ow4rj]

Not a huge difference in this scene

[@DNOstalgia]

I prefer the original though.
