Pretty good sequel, among several that followed, this time directed by Stallone.December 06, 2006
...can't help but come off as the most needless installment of the bunch...February 09, 2006
Stallone's performance as a Philadelphia saint in a B movie physique leaves you undecided whether to gag or sob, but the final fight sequences make up for it; a full-blooded Hollywood finale reaching giddy heights of cathartic glee.February 18, 2006
A very good sequel even though the result of the climactic Balboa vs. Creed rematch is pretty much a foregone conclusion. This is where the series should have ended.December 15, 2010
Sly sequel is as predictable as a gym workout.December 19, 2006
Sylvester Stallone's follow-up to his runaway success of 1976 is a little more threadbare in spots than the original, but it still has some conviction and spunk.July 07, 2010
Taking what John G. Avildsen accomplished with the first film and then adding his own style, Stallone comes forward as an action visionary, with the fight scene a vast improvement when compared to the original.May 09, 2005
Rocky II has a waxy feeling, and it never comes to life the way its predecessor did.December 19, 2006
Considerably less satisfying than the original Rocky, but head and shoulders above the later installments.March 26, 2009
Stallone and producers Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff know from experience audiences love to root for the underdog and have concocted an irresistible final 30 minutes.September 01, 2006
"Rocky II" represents far more than just a good-looking fight. It's all about trusting in yourself and overcoming fear in striving for greatness.
