Very satisfying Sequel

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2019)

Any time I decide to watch Rocky again I find myself immediately watching Rocky II as well. They just go so well together. While I still really enjoy the other Rocky movies that follow they have a differnt feel to them. Rocky II has the same tone as the first which helps them to fit together so seamlessly.
Rocky II has just as much heart as the first one. The part wherre Rocky is trying to get a desk job and no one will hire him breaks my heart everytime. And then when Adrian is in the hospital and he won't leave her side (excpet to pray at the chapel) I cry every. single. time. But then she wakes up and tells him to "Win!" and we get yet another awesome training montage! It's just such a good and satisfyling addition to an amazing original!
