Great Sequel.

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2003)

ROCKY II continues the saga of club fighter Rocky Balboa. In this interesting sequel, heavyweight champ Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), destined to take Rocky down by knockout, tempts the underdog for a rematch. The actors turn in fine performances and the story is satisfactory. However, this time around, the training sequences are a little bit déjà vu, and the climaxing match between Rocky and Apollo is not as amusing. Has its share of fun, though, and still packs a punch.
4 out of 5
