Dead Meat Fool!!!

Rating: 5/10 (22 September 2009)

This Rocky film was the real start of the decline of the series. Although a watchable film and Mr.T does make it a lot of fun it still lacks the power and performances of the first 2 movies. Mr. T as clubber Lang plays a vicious boxer who is almost a sadist in the boxing ring and he temps Rocky out of retirement to fight him. There are of course the corny Rocky moments we have become use to with the soundtrack rock music playing with Rocky training in the old gym. Anyway, Rocky does come back and fights Clubber Lang and takes a punch that under normal conditions would kill a human being. But hey Rocky is used to getting hit a lot as he always allows himself to. In any case Rocky is approached by Apollo Creed and is told he lacks the eye of the tiger and offers to train him....Yawn. Should I go on. Well, Rocky fights Clubber Lang again and of course wins and has his cheesy speech at the end with wife and kid crying.
