A good addition to the rocky franchise

Rating: 7/10 (1 October 2015)

After the first two fantastic Rocky films it was decided that there would be a third film and is a good third film. The premise of the film sees rocky in the high life after winning the title until he is faced with a new young hungry challenger. Sylvester Stallone is back as rocky in this film and wrote and directed this film. He is great in this film, it shows a different side of rocky in this film and he does a great job. The supporting cast is also great, adrians character is good because of how her relationship with rocky develops and it works in this film. Carl weathers is back as apollo creed and this is the best portrayal of the character yet as his relationship with rocky being much better in this film and humanizing. Micky is back and even though he isn't in the film a huge deal he does a great job. This film introduced Mr t as clubber lang and he was a really good villain in this film. The story of the film is decent and the redemption story really works in this film. However, this is a shorter film and it doesn't hit the emotional level that you want it too. The script is alright with some good humour but SD I said the drama sometimes doesn't hit as strongly as you want it too. The style is alright with some decent boxing scenes but it doesn't hit the levels of the previous films. Overall this is a good third film that if your a fan of boxing movies you should see.
