Done to a T...

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2000)

I always have liked this one too, Eye of the Tiger and all that, this one is fast, edited quickly, has a great training montage, three fights(AND HULK HOGAN for good measure...), Apollo Creed's change over into a good guy was a stroke of genius on Stallone's part to my thinking.(Plus you see Burgess Meredith's Mickey die, that too is a poignant moment...)
Mr. T...is great! As Mr. T, of course, who else?? He does a Mike Tyson(years before Iron Mike) type guy to a 'T', very well. They didn't try to do anything much different with Clubber Lang other than making him a bad-ass enemy, and you have to say T delivers.
Here the fights are all short, and like the other ones in the first two Rockies-a non-stop parade of haymakers and windmill rights. I loved every bit of it.
Good stuff, not up to the first one's level, but then...not much is.
*** outta ****, nice job.
