Review of Rocky III (1982) by Erin C — 22 Aug 2009

Rocky III in my view is prehaps one of the better movies of the series this is because of the main storyline and the happiness and sorrow the film brings to the audience.

The film sees Slyvester Stallone as rocky as we see the sucess he has had after beating Apollo creed in the second movie however in this movie he see a softer side to him as tragedy strikes twice as he loses his trainer Mickey and the world title. Mr T steals the show as Clubber Lang the main bad guy in the movie which I thought suited him well as he looked the part this movie helped him become the icon he is today. Carl Weathers returns as Apollo Creed who helps and trains Rocky after the tragedy strikes him.

Sly directed the film and he did it well as he showed what happens to the boxers when they get soft and when they lose what they earned, and how they psychologically cope with it. Which I thought weas impressive.

So overall I enjoyed the rocky film as it has everything in it honour and pride lovwe and loss and death which you wouldnt expect in a boxing movie.
