Probably one of the weakest of the saga. It was essentially Rocky but with the hero at a new position.
I got two favourite bits to this film. At the end of the usual montage when the whole town is chasing/running with him, to show that the Underdog is no longer alone and has a fanbase. He had proved his worth before and now people love him for it. Also, The final blow between Apollo and Rocky where they both hit the deck, it's the only time in the saga this could have been used because of how equal the heroes were.
All the same cast, nothing new to add which is why it will never be among the greats.
