Rocky III

• TOP NOTCH (my top choices)
• HONORABLE MENTION (well worth watching)
• YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER (I like them but you might not)
• CLASSICS (Great movies up through the 1960s - many don't have any rating)

ROCKY III (1982) - PG - HONORABLE MENTION
 Sylvester Stallone, Mr T, Talia Shire, Burt Young   

Summary -  After winning the ultimate title and being the world champion, Rocky falls into a hole and finds himself picked up by a former enemy.

Cautions - Boxing and uh... training montages. And then some more boxing.

Commentary - Do you want a Rocky movie but the original is just too slow for you? Are you looking for an inspirational sports story that includes Mr. T? This is the movie for you!

To me this Rocky is the most fun. In large part it's success has to do with the character of Clubber Lang (Mr T), one of the most dynamic cinema villains. The story is serviceable but the audience comes for the spectacle and it delivers.
