Not as good as the first but still fun.

Rocky II (1979, Dir. Sylvester Stallone)
Rocky Balboa is enjoying life. He's got a lovely wife, Adrian, had a successful fight with Apollo Creed and is able to enjoy the wealth coming off the draw. Unfortuantly, Rocky becomes embarrassed when failing to complete and advert and ends up working in a meat packing company. He believe that he will no longer have a career as a boxer. Apollo wants to rematch with Rocky to prove all his critics wrong that he can beat Rocky. Can Rocky once again have a successful fight?
The original Rocky film was interesting. It's not common that a boxing film would be successful. 'Rocky II' isn't as great as the original film, but still a lot of fun to watch. All the fun characters are back and are great to watch. The story is very similar to the original film, but doesn't take anything away. It might not be as exciting as the original film, but it's still a joy to watch Rocky Balboa in action.
