Rocky III

This movie is kind of a perfect blockbuster sequel to 1 and 2. Appollo training rocky is pretty much the best concept ever put to a film sequel, and watching this movie I was reminded of pretty much every battle manga/anime I’ve ever seen. In a way, this is the formula for a perfect superhero movie, and it’s kind of weird that more films haven’t aped it. The ending with the tie is the stuff of legends, the eye of the tiger is great, Adrian’s speech to rocky is iconic, I mean what more could you want from a sequel. If there are two criticisms I have, it is that we could have seen a little more of clubber lang, and the training session goes a little longer than it needs to. Other than that though, it don’t get much better than this.
