    i know it's getting real corny at this point but i like it a little more (not enough to give it a higher rating) than the 2nd one purely because the opponent (Mr T) is a nutcase!

    The first two Rockies are more or less classics. Stallone, even he appears and sounds like a ( ), he knows how to make a good action/fighting drama. He directs, produces, and writes his feature films for the most part. That is often overlooked; he knows what he's doing. T...( read more)his is not a great film but Mr. T is a great antagonist. Hulk Hogan makes a cameo as an early opponent to Rocky, they could have cut that out.

    I want to give it more than 3 stars but I can't. The story is exactly the same as the first 2 films but its not as sweet. The character of Rocky has turned into a 2D emotionless lump. Gone has the chirpy dialogue between him and Adrian, gone has the punchy (excuse the pun) script...( read more) and gone has the charm the Rocky movies were all about. Never mind though, Its got Mr.T and Hulk Hogan in it!!! Which more than makes up for it! ;o)

    The third installment in the Rocky series we have Rocky retraining with Apollo to get his title back from none other than Mr.T. That's right MR.T! This is a solid third movie in the series. The story is simple and and most of the original cast are back for this movie. Not as goo...( read more)d as the first two movies but it was still worth a watch for Rocky fans.

    The worst that can happen to any fighter is to get civilized, and the great underdog drama from the early films is practically over now that we are left with a famous boxing star fighting a psycho killer.
