Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Pretty Fair Sequel
Review: While not nearly as brilliant as the original, this movie is still pretty entertaining and is probably the most humorous of the series. The "chase that chicken" scene is hysterical and Apollo Creed is an even better character in this installment than he was in the first. Still, this movie does drag at times as Rocky falls from grace and is forced to take jobs that most people wouldn't want. By the time a pregnant Adrain slips into a coma, some of the viewers will have done the same. Nevertheless, Rocky II is a worthy successor to the original.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: A viewer whose seen the best
Review: You know not too many times when an original is as big a success as Rocky was, does the sequel even compare...Well Rocky II does... Stallone directed this movie to perfection (another surprise)... In part I he gets destroyed in the ring, nearly going blind (Which many boxers do) from his bout with Apollo. Rocky gets his paycheck, marries Adrian, and tries to start a normal life as most people would. Though everywhere he went, he could only see signs that his heart belonged back in the ring... Rocky goes into depression when all the troubles catch up to him... but one inspiring message from his wife, gets him back on track to fight Creed one last time...The most touching moment is Rocky's last message to his wife at the end of the movie, which still inspires people today... A classic.
