I love all the Rocky movies, but this is my number 1. I cry everytime at the end. I know it word for word. I love this movie, and I think it was as good if not better than the first.... Full review

I think the ending of Rocky II pretty much sums it up for me in terms of comparing it to the original. Follows pretty much the same pattern, but it's just that much better then Rocky. There's not much new going... Full review

Rocky II may not be as good as the first one, but it is still a really good sequel. It picks up right where the first one left off, so it is a continuation of the first one's story. If you... Full review

Despite some minor issues, Rocky II usually looked very good.
Virtually all of Rocky II seemed like a cheap knock-off of the original.
A nice mix of extras certainly would have made Rocky II more appealing, as the movie itself didn't do much for me.

Rocky went on to win three Oscars in all, for best direction, editing and picture.
Stallone, however, is taking such criticism in his stride, acknowledging his hero's advancing years as he makes one last bid for glory.

Rocky II is undoubtedly a solid movie....screenwriter Stallone places the emphasis on several overly melodramatic subplots (the whole Rocky's-son-feels-neglected storyline is undoubtedly an ideal example of this).....and yet there's simply no denying the film's overall effectiveness, particularly with regard to Sylvester Stallone's strong, surprisingly textured performance.....Directed by John G. Avildsen and written by Stallone, Rocky is often more effective as an understated character study than as a rous ... Full Review

A re-match would solve Rockys financial problems, but another fight could cost him his eyesight.
ROCKY II ($25) is the surprisingly good sequel to the Academy Award winning best picture of 1976.

Rocky is realistic about his goal.
It is especially meaningful that the action behind the scenes paralleled that in the movie.
Stallone, a small-time actor, was offered a great deal of money for this script, which he wrote.
