Entertaining Sequel.

Rating: 7/10 (1 September 2013)

Sylvester Stallone returns as writer, star, and now director of this exciting sequel that pushes all the expected buttons, and tells the story of how Rocky, despite not wanting a rematch, gives in to the public pressure of champion Apollo Creed, and agrees. He is re-trained by his manager, again played memorably by Burgess Meredith, and also must deal with his growing family(now married to Adrian, with new baby) who really need the money.
Sure this film is totally predictable, the outcome not in doubt, but credit Stallone for shrewdly knowing what his audience would want, and gave it to them in an entertaining film.
