Remembered rooting for ol' Rocky.

Rating: 8/10 (12 March 2014)

Part III of the Rocky saga has Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) holding the title as the heavyweight champion until he is defeated by challenger Clubby Lang (Mr. T). To regain his fighting spirit for a rematch, Rocky is trained by his old nemesis, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers).
This is one of those movies I saw once when I was a little kid. While I don't remember much of it, I do recall rooting for Rocky in the boxing matches and do remember it as being of the more exciting movies to watch back in the 1980s. The boxing matches are well-choreographed and Sylvester Stallone is creative in his Rocky role. Mr. T is perfect as Clubber Lang and a great opponent/villain for Rocky. You put the two in the ring it is like the fight of the century.
Overall, it's a nice piece of sport drama movie.
