I predicted it would be crap and I've only seen the advert

Why did you torture yourself like that?

Guessed it would be, more so as in the previous films he (Rocky) was told he could no longer fight, so why make another?

Rocky III was a great film. When I was 10.

I have seen this one and it is utter tripe. Luckily the way it has ended should mean that there will never ever ever (hopefully) be another. It hasnt got the usually ending that you would expect from Rocky and the story line is very very shallow. I have posted it in my top 10 films that I wish I hadnt seen on another thread here.

I think the fact that Rocky didn't die instantly at the end when that truck hit him on the zebra crossing was bloody hilarious, like anyone could survive being hit at 60mph by a concrete mixer truck? Let alone long enough to say "Adrienne, take care of yourself, I did it for you, goodbye Adrienne".

What a crap ending that was

If you haven’t seen it don’t waste your money.
Basically
A TV programme show a virtual fight between Rocky and the current champ (he looks like a fly weight)
Rocky wins.
The media and everyone starts talking about it, Rockies got no money so guess what they decide to have a fight.
Rocky manages to take the champ the whole distance (just as in the first rocky film) but loses on points.
