Highly Entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (31 July 2015)

Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) struggles in family life after his bout with Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), while the embarrassed champ insistently goads him to accept a challenge for a rematch.
I do not remember Rocky being so dumb in the first film. It is really played up here, and gives the sequel sort of a cheese factor. He misunderstands things, speaks funny, and gets involved in some weird incidents (such as the cologne commercial).
But this is probably more entertaining than the original. As good of a film? No. As iconic? No. But fun, and a good excuse to bring Carl Weathers back... that guy is amazing and deserved a bigger career.
