Rocky II description
Beginning precisely where Rocky left off, the surprisingly effective 1979 sequel takes the saga of Rocky Balboa to its logical next step, as the palooka turned public idol and media darling returns to his "normal" life in Philadelphia with his newlywed bride Adrian (Talia Shire) and some degree of material comfort. He needs to find a job, but boxing champ Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) is challenging Rocky to a lucrative rematch, and despite his doctor's warning against future boxing, Rocky can't resist. Defying the odds that most sequels can't live up to their originals, Rocky II doesn't pack all the punch that Rocky did, but it takes us further into the lives of its now-familiar and beloved characters, and Stallone (as director and star) gives us another rousing finale in the ring. Do you really need to know who wins? --Jeff Shannon |

| The reason I say that is you can't really understand one thing Sylvester Stallone is saying. He sounds like a drunk, Italian thug with down syndrome. But thats actually a good thing because it's really funny. On a serious note, I think this is the best Rocky movie. The first one was also a great movie, but I have always liked this one alittle better. It kept me interested more. You can tell Stallone directed this because Rocky is portrayed as a perfect human being. Which we know there is no such thing as a perfect person. And then he turns around and introduces Apollo Creed, who is always the unhappiest guy in the world. That made this movie alittle to ridiculous and a tad over-the-top. But besides of that, it's still very enjoyable. I have seen Rocky 1, 2, 3, and 4. I was never really a huge fan of the Rocky series, but this movie made the time fly by. |
