{movie} rocky III (1982)

The third chapter in the life of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) finds Rocky's lifestyle of wealth and idleness suddenly shaken when a powerful fighter known as Clubber Lang (Mr. T) challenges Rocky to a bout. After soundly losing, the previously overconfident champ begins training for a rematch -- with the help of former opponent Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). Talia Shire and Burgess Meredith reprise their roles from the first two films.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: **** This was, in my opinion, the best of the Rocky series of movies. The drama, the emotion, the story; it was all in this one. Burgess Meredith's character's passing, Mr. T (whom I can't stand as an actor, but I loved him in this) and, of course, Thunderlips portrayed by the one and the only, the immortal Hulk Hogan.
