My Favorite Rocky!

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2012)

Sylvester Stallone directs and stars in this 1985 drama sequel that also stars Talia Shire, Carl Weathers, Burt Young and Dolph Lundgren. This picks up right after the last film and Paulie (Young) is celebrating his birthday with Rocky (Stallone), Adrian (Shire) & their son, Robert. Later, Apollo (Weathers) decides to fight Russian boxer, Ivan Drago (Lundgren) who is interested in fighting Rocky. After Apollo is killed in an exhibition fight with Drago, Rocky is determined to avenge him by training and fighting in Russia. This is my favorite Rocky, Sly is great as usual, I like the music and Dolph is terrific as Drago because I hate his character. I recommend this.
