not as good as the first but still great

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2013)

After the success of the first there just had to be a sequel. John Avildsen didn't direct this one. Instead, Stallone took on directing, producing, writing and acting. let me give you the plot.
After the fight with Apollo Creed, the 2 go to the hospital, where Creed Challenges Rocky to a rematch, but Rocky denies the request at the moment. After they are released, Rocky is rich, but spends a lot of the money. He marries Adrian, he gets a new car and he buys a new house. He tries making a commercial and fails because of his inability to read he also tries to work at the meat factory. This effects his training and Mickey tells him to fight right handed. Apollo goes public about the rematch he wants. Meanwhile though Rocky got Adrian pregnant and after delivering the baby she falls into a coma. after a few days, she awakens and was given the baby, which was named Rocky Jr. He gains the guts to fight so he trains again and finally fights Apollo. Apollo is still mad, but Rocky is still determined to win.
Its not as good as the first movie, but it still has the tone of the first movie and it works as a sequel. As Joe Bob would put it 3 stars out of 4, check it out
