Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2004)

My Favourite of the series, only marginally more so than the original as the humour is increased, but not so much that it becomes embarrassing. Rocky, although now a celebrity in Philadelphia sees his life become increasingly difficult. He is struggling with money after marrying Adrian and hearing she is pregnant. The only solution it seems is a rematch with Creed, but he risks losing his sight and family. Again, every performance is good, but it is the banter involving Rocky and his knowledge of finance, and how to cope with being a B-list celebrity which makes the movie most effective. Rocky is taken advantage of, everyone takes cheap shots at him until he realises not only must he fight Creed again, but win to prove he is not simply a fluke, a one day name, and gain respect. 9 out of 10.
