An entertaining movie

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2001)

I don't know why many people bash this movie. It's my favorite in the series. It shows that anyone who gets complacent about where he or she is in life will not achieve his or her full potential. Rocky defeats a number of challengers after defeating Apollo Creed and is challenged by a hungry heavyweight contender named Clubber Lang. Rocky gets lazy with his training and gets clobbered. The twist that I really like is his old nemesis, Apollo Creed, wants to train Rocky for personal reasons. Rocky's lack of spirit shows in the beginning of the training. He then is motivated by a speech from his wife and gets his hunger back. I just like the fact that it shows if you're not hungry, you will not achieve your goals. Take my comments for what they're worth, just my opinion.
