Review of Rocky III (1982) by Anssi V — 10 Oct 2011
This movie was a whole lot of fun. It wasn't as good as the original Rocky, which was a strong four, but this definitely deserves a low four just because of its entertainment value. I mean it has Hulk Hogan versus Rocky Balboa.
.. How cool is that!? Furthermore it has all the characters we loved in the first two movies plus a villain that really manages to piss us off, which is always good. The watcher really wants Rocky to win.
But... some of the scenes are a bit too long, and the movie has once again some annoying scenes like the over the top "I'm famous, bitches" attitude of Rocky in the beginning. Yeah, I can see what they're trying to get across, but it's just annoyingly done.
I get it with less hammering. But, this was a fun movie to watch, so yeah... If you liked the first movie, I strongly recommend this one.
