Rocky III Audience Reviews

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

RealChristian14 The third film of the Rocky movie franchise "Rocky III" stars Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa,who experienced a huge setback in life after losing a match with a strong opponent,Clubber Lang.Stallone,who also wrote the script and directed the film,tells a story of how Rocky's life of success was after becoming the heavyweight champion when he won his rematch against Apollo Creed and how he somehow lost his hunger for excellence until he met a defeat on the ring.Then,we get to see how he made his recovery from that defeat and made a successful comeback by becoming the world champion once again after his rematch with Clubber Lang.Added to that,we also see how his friendship with former opponent Apollo Creed progressed after his former trainer Mickey died.Finally,we get to see as well how Rocky became a different fighter under Apollo's guidance.No question that it is not as good as the first Rocky film back in 1976.But nevertheless,it is still fun and entertaining especially when we see how one should bounce back in life as shown by Rocky.It will definitely inspire the viewer as we get to pick up messages that is still relevant in today's world especially when dealing with defeat.
The Grand Master Following the triumphant ending of Rocky II, Sylvester Stallone returns to his iconic role as Rocky Balboa as well as returning to the director's chair.Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) is riding high after winning the world title championship. He has established himself as the #1 boxer, he is now wealthy, his family life is going great with his wife Adrian (Talia Shire), and he is also making numerous celebrity appearances on television, magazine covers, and product endorsements. Rocky is also immortalised with a statue on the top of the stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Rocky is feeling content with life right now. That all changes when Clubber Lang (Mr T) challenges him to the world title championship. The title defence goes horribly wrong when Rocky is dominated by the younger and stronger Clubber Lang and as a result, Clubber Lang wins the world title championship. Rocky's longtime trainer Mickey (Burgess Meredith) also dies following a heart attack. Rocky loses all confidence as well as believing in himself. Rocky's former nemesis Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) offers to train Rocky to help him regain the eye of the tiger as well as to help him dig out of the deep depression that Rocky has sunk into. Despite a shaky start, Rocky rekindles his passion for boxing, and in the process Rocky and Apollo become firm friends as Rocky strives to take back his title from Clubber Lang.Sylvester Stallone continues to go strong as Rocky Balboa and he does no wrong as a director. Talia Shire, Burt Young, Burgess Meredith and Carl Weathers return in their respective roles. Mr T is very memorable as the ferocious Clubber Lang. Mr T is well liked thanks to his role as B.A. Baracus in The A Team, as well as garnering a reputation as a role model for young children. This time, his role as Clubber Lang is one that is very easy to dislike and everyone just want to see him taken down.Survivor's Eye of the Tiger was the main theme of Rocky III and not only was a smash him in the 1982 charts, it is still a very popular song for all fitness fanatics 35 years later.It comes as no surprise that it was a box office hit in 1982, and also popular amongst critics and audiences alike. Rocky III is a fun sequel and a worthy addition in the Rocky Balboa saga, and it still possesses the eye of the tiger.8/10.
Smoreni Zmaj After Rocky II, which is almost remake of original Rocky, Rocky III is pouring sand in the desert. If someone told me what is it about I would be like - Really, Sylvester, how long do you think you can take people's money by simply rearranging same movie in slightly different arrangements ?! The answer is - Obviously longer than common sense allows. Movie was blockbuster, it launched song "Eye of the Tiger" in unbelievable heights and it achieved crazy success in every way. However crazy it may sound, rearranging of Rocky story works and it works well. Story is good, acting and directing too, soundtracks kicks ass and movie keeps attention from the first till the very last moment and it really leaves strong impression. I'm a little bit ashamed to like it, but I really do, very much.
