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?

Top CriticMr. Stallone, the star of Rocky III as well as its writer and director, is hard put to find problems with which to freight his gold mine of a character, now that Rocky has everything.
Arizona Daily Star
People love to bash the third Rocky, but this film is as invigorating as any in the series.
| Original Score: 5/5
The real question with Rocky III was how Sylvester Stallone could twist the plot to make an interesting difference. He manages.
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.
Spirituality and Practice
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.
