Review of Rocky III (1982) by Brandon W — 23 Mar 2009
With my review of Rocky 4 I asked which was better. Rocky 3 or Rocky 4? Rocky 3 has the best "Villain" of all the movies with Clubber Lang. He is the Embodiment of fear, intimidation and "PAIN!".
The only person ever to strike fear into the heart of the great "fearless" Rocky Balboa. He insulted Rocky's woman! He killed him to death within 3 rounds and he literally killed Mickey his trainer from fright!.
B.A. Clubber Lang is a wrecking machine with the "Eye of the Tiger" and nothing will stop him from taking what is rightfully his... THE TITlE! "AWESOME!" as the Ringside Announcer exclaims.
Nothing will stop Clubber except Apollo Creed! He trains Rocky for the rematch! Clubber says "I pity the fool! and I will destroy any man that tries to take what's mine!" He is one of the greatest characters in film history! How could you not root for him to destroy Rocky?! So which movie is better? I would have to say they are almost equal.
But Rocky 4 is better. That was tough to say. It may come down to the soundtrack. I don't really know. Perhaps in a few years I will say Rocky 3 is better because you see Rocky for the only time lose horribly like never before and get totally dominated! All I know is that Mr.
T was an underutilized goldmine in the 80's and he should of been in way more movies and I would probably have own them all! I almost forgot the Legendary Hulk Hogan was in this movie! How great is that!?!
