Really great sequel!!

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2010)

It's the rematch of the century as Rocky takes on Apollo creed. Sequels rarely live up to the original but I think this is one of the few that do. This story takes place right after the first rocky/apollo fight as Rocky and Apollo are taken to the hospital. Apollo(Carl weathers) immediately challenges Rocky(Syylvester stallone) in a rematch for the heavyweight title and Rocky tells him and the press that he is retiring. Life seems to be going great at first for Rocky and his now wife Adrian(Talia shire.
They get a new apartment, car, watches, and they seem to be doing great for awhile. But then Rocky starts to have a hard time finding a job and he can't do commercials because he can't read. Then his best friend Paulie(Burt young) gets him a job at the meat packing place he works at but then Rocky gets canned right away because he hasn't worked there long enough. Meanwhile Apollo creed is suffering from the press and they are calling him a fake and they think the fight was fixed. This angers Apollo and he humiliates Rocky on TV. Thats when Mickey(Burgess meredith comes in and wants to train Rocky again. Adrian doesn't approve so Rocky starts training like crap and it doesn't get better when she gets in a coma but she wakes up after a couple of days and they have there newborn baby Rocky jr.
Now Adrian approves and Rocky starts training hard again and it's time to fight Apollo creed in the rematch of the century. All in all a very great sequel thats a lot like the first but the big fight at the end is really good and it keeps you at the edge of your seat! recommended for anyone.10/10
