Excellent sequel

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2015)

It is pretty rare for a sequel to be as good or as near as damn it to the original but this is a good example.
The same excellent cast remain and it's basically more of the same as Rocky has a re-match with Apollo Creed who finds it hard to take that Rocky lasted the full distance with him last time.
Although the drama is notched back a little this is still a very engrossing film culminating in a brilliant fight. Sure it's about as believable as Father Christmas, as most of the punches landed would knock out most fighters but this is about pure entertainment and the final scenes provide this in spades.
If you liked the first Rocky then there is no reason not to like this one just as much.
