(Tired) Eye Of The (Box Office) Tiger

Rating: Null/10 (6 February 2000)

* ½ (1½ out of 5)
Rocky III
Directed by : Sylvester Stallone, 1982

Enough is enough seems to be the message of the plot for the aging Rocky Balboa, but should really be said of this tired movie formula.

Flashier and more stylish outing - big on brawn and tackiness - has Balboa getting some of his own medicine. Challenged by an up-and-coming boxer and subsequently beaten.
Will he win the re-match? Does Balboa wear stars-and-stripes shorts?
All that is memorable is the theme song (Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor) and yet another go-around by Burgess Meredith as mentor and coach, Mickey.
