Good sequel

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2000)

In the serie of sequels Rocky II (1979) isn't so bad movie. It has a lot of same things that in the original Rocky: strong sportsdrama, great feelings and awesome final match. That what isn't good in this sequel that this has been done before.
Rocky II continues directly from where Rocky ended. Unknown Rocky (Sylvester Stallone, this time also the director) almost won the heavyweigt champion Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). Rocky is now famous, but life continues.
Rocky marries his girlfriend Adrian (Talia Shire) and of course Adrian is expecting a baby to born. Doctor forbids Rocky for fighting because of his injured eye, but what else Rocky could do? Nothing. Meanwhile Apollo Creed wants to take a rematch, 'cause he wants to show that Rocky's almost victory was just luck. Sly is the best. 8 out of 10.
