| Rocky III (1982) Cast:Sylvester Stallone,Mr.T,Carl Weathers,Talia Shire,Burt Young,Burgess Meredith,Hulk Hogan This time Rocky prepares for battle (By training with Apollo Creed) against Clubber Lang(Mr.T) who beat him for the title, seems Rocky has lost the "eye of the tiger" and must get it back if he stands a chance against Clubber Lang in this unbelivably silly sequel. Although Sly Stallone still knows how to keep a formula working, Stallone seems to have lost his touch a little with this silly sequel. As usual Stallone packs this thing with tons of training montages, lots of boxing melodrama and of course well staged action but all the heart of the first two is lost. It's somewhat ironic that in this sequel Rocky is training to recapture the eye of the tiger, when in reality this series has lost it's verve. Still Rocky III has it's pluses, Mr. T is a fun villian, the climax is impressive and the acting is overall pretty good. Still it's not up to standard with it's predecessors although it is better than # 4... D.Sylvester Stallone ** |
