Balboa's beaten Creed but can he beat Clubber Lang?

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2005)

After the events of Rocky I and II, Rocky is now filthy rich by winning his matches. But soon from the ashes comes a big mouth rough boxer named Clubber Land (Mr. T) and after he defeats his fights, he orders Rocky to give him a fight for the belt. Rocky agree's but at the fight, not only does he loose the match and his belt but he witnesses the death of his manager Mickey. Now with the help of Apollo Creed, Rocky challenges Lang for a rematch for the belt, can he win it all again? Sly returns in this second sequel to the smash boxing hit Rocky. This film is not as good as the first two but it proves to be a really entertaining film with the lust of winning and gaining back the eye of the tiger. Mr. T gives a great performance as the killing machine Clubber Lang. Sadly, Burgess Meredith must act as his character Micky passes away in this chapter. But this is a good subplot for when Apollo Creed steps up and helps Rocky train for his fight with Clubber, making the two good friends. This film though, it's worn down from the past two with Rocky now a big star. Though not perfect, this film gives great performances. One may I say is the big brawl between Rocky and Hulk Hogans Thunderlips for charity and it's great! So if you like the first two movies, you'll appreciate Rocky III. Rocky III gets the big 7, it may be worn down it's still pretty entertaining. Enjoy!
