This movie follows the events right after the first movie. Where quite a few sequels fail this one succeeds in being almost as good as the original. I really enjoyed the story line of Rocky getting a second shot at the title. The music score is just amazing and the acting is top notch. Also, this is a family friendly movie that I feel is a great movie night pick.

After the success of Rocky whom won "Best Picture", Stallone produced another sequel that will end the conflict between Apollo and Rocky. This time, Stallone has command over the Rocky series until Rocky 5. The previous low-budget movie became a success. The same way that Rocky rises up to the top.

Much of this extent, Rocky 2 is quite a good movie, not as great but pretty good as a sequel. The emotional impact, the characters give us in this story is heartfelt and the variety of features in this movie is surprising. Apollo is upset over that defeat even though, he won and wants to challenge Rocky again. Rocky refuses and marries Adrien. Rocky goes in a shopping spree and buys a car, clothes, jewelry and a house, hes doesn't even wants to see the 2nd floor. He is blinded with his own happiness with Adrien. Rocky decided to get a job, he attempts on commericals, getting a job and work at a meat factory but all that fails. Apollo is eager is fight Rocky again, so he tries to taunt him into the media, making Rocky have no choice but to fight him. Through the disapproval of Adrien and Mickey, Rocky tries to train but all of the distraction is getting into him. Adrien then falls into a coma, after giving birth to baby. After she awoken from her coma, her words is to "win", and then comes the montage. But now theres two montages clued together, to make it just as awesome. This time Rocky is running with kids and running up the art museum. Man, where did all these kids come from? This montage is also a bit ridculous, as Rocky needs to chase a chicken.

The match between Rocky and Apollo is kinda a disappointment, Rocky just gets beaten up until the end, this time is not the spirit of Adrien that comes in but is just plain ridculous how the ending could be. As you sometimes see, in the fight, Rocky or Apollo's character sometimes didn't hit each other, looking like its a fake punch or something. Something that is interesting is this time, there is slow-motion making it quite interesting. But its not that the fight is bad, theres still the emotional impact and the rooting for Rocky that makes the match, good.

The sequel also, creates more character development. The anger that Apollo have against Rocky, thinking that Rocky was lucky in the previous match. Embrassing Rocky in the media, reclaiming Rocky as the "Stallion Chicken". Mickey played by Burgess Meredith is excellent in this movie, as a grumpy ranter and, its truly fascinating. Stallone's character is more emotional than the previous Rocky when Adrien felt into a coma, the bond between Adrien and Rocky is heartfelt. This movie especially the end reminds me of an anime called "Yu Yu Hakusho" in which Yusuke battles one of the king, through his final blowout, one word will end the match. This is what it was, in the ending of this movie. Overall, Rocky 2 isn't quite as good as the first one, but it redeems itself as a great sequel. The drama and the humour is still there. This sequel is worthly of an A+ sequel because Stallone's directing it, knowing that Stallone truly knows his character by heart. Adrien's actor is also magnificent in this movie. The coma part is truly emotional indeed to the viewer and Rocky himself. This is quite a popcorn to enjoy.

It is one of the Best and one of the biggest movie series ever! I like it very much! And I will watch all the series again and again and will give them to my children and etc!
the movie is awesome!

This movie continue right after the last movie. I like how this movie started out with Rocky recover after the figth, to getting married, to the end of this movie. I like how Apollo Creed wanted revenge agasint Rocky and demand a rematch. The movie had a great story with good action and Romance. I just love all the music in this movie. It's really worth watching.
