Refreshing! Try the Rocky flicks one weekend, #2 is wonderful!

Rating: Null/10 (11 January 1999)

Treat yourself to a weekend of Rocky flicks. I just finished #2, just as well written, yet not as dark as Rocky. The darkness made Rocky great ( that flick was about a man, his metamorphosis into living and love, not about boxing!), yet Sly keeps just enough of that in this movie to keep us all on that level and successfully adds more...I love the LOVE between Rocky and Adrian, and to me, they epitomize true love. Simple is clearest! In Rocky II you have a sense of evolving with this man and his family, both as a husband and a father and ultimately, the Heavyweight Champion of the world. Ok, it's just a movie, but no one can just sit there in their chair when they do the fight scenes! A great flick, gotta love the stars in this one, a powerful sequel! Any movie that makes you cry and pump your fists and cover your eyes does it for me!
