Reviews
The formula was starting to become tiresome by now. And can somebody please explain how Rocky suddenly became more articulate in this one despite more punches to the head?
Learning, especially from Scorsese, in his approach to action and performance, writer/director/star Stallone has somehow contrived to make each of his movies into a more magnificent spectacle than the last.
A definite crowd-pleaser, although you can see the series start to slide downhill
Rocky III is an audience-involving film and it is to Stallone's credit that we cheer for the champ in both victory and defeat.
Decent sequel. Kinda cartoonish, but lots of good fights. Better than Rocky IV.
