Review of Rocky III (1982) by Chris V — 18 Dec 2014

I haven't seen all the Rocky movies yet, so I can't really say which one is my favorite, but I know one thing, "Rocky III" is GREAT! Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) returns once again to the boxing ring and he still has the Heavyweight Champion of The World title. He ponders retirement after the city he lives in makes a statue of him in his honor. However, a cocky, trash talking man named Clubber Lang (Mr. T) will do anything to fight Rocky and become the new Heavyweight Champion of The World. Rocky Balboa will accept the challenge and make the fight with Clubber Lang his final fight before retirement, but Clubber Lang might be a tougher opponent than anybody suspects. So it won't be easy at all.

"Rocky III" is a great movie in every way. As usual, it has great acting with Sylvester Stallone playing the leading role. And it also has a star-studded lineup that most people will already know as Rocky Balboa's challengers, including Hulk Hogan and the man who made A-Team a major hit back in the 80's, Mr. T. If you like action packed movies, especially boxing ones, or if you liked the other Rocky movies, I definitely recommend getting "Rocky III." NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000.
