Review of Rocky III (1982) by Kai82 — 17 Oct 2020
An amazingly strong movie for a third installment. It continues the story of Rocky who is world champion and has defended his title in ten matches. But now comes a challenger unlike everyone else. Clubber Lang played by the legendary Mr.
T. Who is young and hungry while Rocky became mollycoddled by his success and wealth. Basically it is the same that happened to Apollo Creed in Rocky 1. “Small spoilers”: After things I wont spoil Apollo Creed comes to Rocky to help him.
“End of Spoilers” This is an amazing idea for a story. It relates to the first movie and gives you a perspective. The characters and drama is excellent. Rocky, Apollo Creed and Clubber Lang work so well together.
The additional cast is also excellent and I will praise especially Burgess Meredith as Mickey. Like before the sets are great and fights are shot intense and engagingly. I must of cause mention the soundtrack.
Survivor delivered with “Eye of the Tiger” a timeless classic that became one of the most well know tracks of all times. There are so many training montages, sketches and fights that use it. Overall while I am admitting that it is not as emotional as Rocky 1 it is an excellent movie with bonus of Mr.
T and “Eye of the Tiger;-). A must see in the franchise.
