Review of Rocky II (1979) by Jim F — 13 Jul 2011
It's frustrating watching Rocky trying his hand at being the simple man at his wife's request. The coma scene is a drag as i've always remembered it until she wakes up and says, "win..
...win....win..." and out comes the grey tracksuit, the one armed press-ups, chicken chasing and of course ,, the steps. In the fight, Rocky takes more of a beating than in the 1st fight. He barely lays a punch on Creed untill the final round.
The knockdown scene is ridiculous but classic. Stallone, his overall performance is excellent. This is how story should have been left. It was never the same afterwards.
