Review of Rocky II (1979) by Originaldanger — 22 Sep 2021
Rocky II follows on from the original, directed by Stallone in 1979 it bares some contrasts to the original... Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weather's are in the hospital all mashed up from the first fight, Carl Weather's who plays Apollo Creed is in a wheelchair asking Stallone's character for a rematch.
...Rocky II has many great moments like the training at the end before the fight after Rocky's wife says WIN, also Rocky working in a meat factory before getting fired and doing silly aftershave commercials which are hilarious, him and his wife buying a new house and taking a walk through the zoo in the snow after Rocky is released from hospital, Rocky driving around in a new car which he eventually sells on, Rocky's wife slipping into a coma, just great moments after another.
.. It's more or less similar to the original but Rocky II has more to offer, some newer ideas in there and seems more charged than the original and the rematch at the end certainly beats the fight in the original with the tempo of the fight at a faster pace and more brutal.
.. Rocky II stars Sylvester Stallone, Burt Young, Carl Weather's, Burgess Meredith, Talia Shire and is a sports drama... Definitely the best Rocky movie in the series and beats the original so check out Rocky II.
.. Excellent film even if Stallone seems very wooden at times.
