Not great, but something to watch if nothing else is around.

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2003)

The third in the Rocky series was said to be good in this way and that, but I didn't see a lot of good things except for the fighting. This is the one that really told us that the Rocky series was going downhill if the continuous sequals didn't stop. Rocky happily holds his world heavyweight title, after defeating Apollo Creed it seems that Rocky is becoming a bit too civilised to be taking his fights carefully. He is intiminated by a loud mouthed heavy hitter named Clubber Lang (played very well by Mr. T) and fights him for the title. Mickey has a heart attack (one of the worst decisions in the whole series) and Rocky thrown off enough in the fight to lose his title. After, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) tries to coach Rocky and encourage him to get 'the eye of the tiger' back in his punches so he can get his Heavy weight championship back on his waist. Although the summary sounds interesting, the movie does not carry the right ingrediants well enough and what could have been great turns into something made to grab our money. Hulk Hogan makes an unnecessary cameo as Thunder Lips, a challenger for Rocky in an exhibition for charity. Not great, but if you want to see the series, or if you're in the mood for pretty good fighting, see this movie.
