Rocky 3 (DVD)

( Might spoil the film a bit ) Rocky Balboa The Third! The best yet! If you thought Rocky I and Rocky II were good then your going to love this one, Its got some old faces like Apollo Creed and also a new face Clubber Lang (Mr T), This guy is a mean machine. This Rocky has 3 different fights. ~~~1st Fight~~~ The first fight is a exhibition fight between Rocky and the worlds number one wrestler, Who is about 2m tall this guy is really big, and hes a sick head he went crazy, the fight starts of with Rocky throwing some little punches to the body just playing around abit then this wrestler just picks him up and starts doing lots of moves on him, He ...  Read the complete review

What’s it about? --------------------- Rocky Balboa, Heavyweight Champion of the World, faces his toughest challenge when brutal fighter Clubber Lang is determined to take his title. Who’s in it? ---------------- As with the first two films, most of the original cast return, although with somewhat different roles. Heading up the cast is Sylvester Stallone, still good as Rocky, although, as with all the characters in this film, he suffers from an underwritten part. The relationship between Rocky and Adrian (Talia Shire) – part of what made Rocky and Rocky II so convincing – is now woefully underplayed as relationship issues take a back seat ...  Read the complete review

I don't think Rocky would ever sat comfortably as a trilogy. Nevertheless, Rocky III offered a chance of reconciliation with his opponent in first two films and ends with that conclusion. Apollo Creed never was painted as the bad guy even when he did wage a humiliation campaign against Rocky in Rocky II. It was the way the films did this, viewing it as the story of two very different sportsmen rather than as the tired old battle of good versus evil, that put both films above virtually all their imitators. In Rocky III we get to see yet more of the character of Apollo, including some of his back story. In an interesting role-reversal it is Rocky who is the pampered the ...  Read the complete review

It's fair to say that there probably shouldn't have been a third Rocky film - I don't think too many would have been bothered considering how well the second film tied things up for the old dog. Nevertheless, considering the financial success of the previous two films, it's no surprise Stallone reprised his role for a third time (and another three after that). After defeating Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) for the title in the last film, he's had a few successful title defences and is looking for a new challenge. He finds that challenge in thuggish brute Clubber Lang (played by Mr. T in his first appearance on screen), an unsavoury boxer but he also has a ...  Read the complete review

Following the success of the first two Rocky films, the team got together again for this 1982 release, Rocky 3. The first two films had been big hits, and much was expected of this film, particularly with the introduction of Mr T, flavour of the month due to the A-Team, as Rocky's next opponent. However, it didn't prove to be quite as impressive as the first two. This review will contain spoilers for Rocky 1 and Rocky 2 if you haven't seen them yet. Following the defeat at the hands of Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) in Rocky 1, Rocky Balboa (Sly Stallone) bounced back in Rocky 2 to win the respect of the world and Creed himself, and alos to win the fight! ...  Read the complete review
