PAIN

Rocky 3 (1982)

The popular boxing series returned for a third instalment with Stallone in control again and this time introducing the world to Mr. T. Rocky gets soft, losses his trainer and his title and has to make a come back.

In my opinion this film is a vast improvement over the second film in the series. Bringing in a bad guy really helps as the Apollo Creed character never really fit that role and the camaraderie between former rivals Rocky and Creed really helps give the film some personality. Having a plot that is more eventful that then previous instalment is another step in the right direction. This is certainly a return to form for the series.
