Rocky 2 (DVD)

...is wrong as we watched Rocky 1 and then Rocky 3 and now we are back to Rocky 2. It really is a good job I have seen these film several times before so I can follow them and not mind the order we are watching them in. At the start of this film we see the fight which was the ending for the first film when Rocky takes the fight with Apollo creed to the last round and is defeated by a split decision from the judges. Rocky is happy with the outcome and ...
...and Adrian get married. Soon Rocky is struggling for work and after buying a new house and car he become desperate and finally goes back to work in the gym which is run by Mick. Soon he learns that Adrian is pregnant so the pressure is really on him now. Apollo is not happy with the outcome of the fight as he is getting letters saying that Rocky was the real winner so he wants a re-match. Apollo is taunting Rocky calling him the Italian Chicken ...

Review of Rocky 2 (DVD)

...for the humiliating fight against Rocky Balboa, (played by Sylvester Stallone), he demands a rematch to prove he is the true champion. Unfortunately, Rocky refuses and decides to retire from boxing for good. With his earning from the fight his luck begins to change, including his marriage to Adrian Pennino, (played by Takia Shire) and buying his first ever brand new car. To stay clear of the ring Rocky decides to try his hand at advertising using ...
...pressure from his fans and Rocky under pressure trying to find work, now that Adrian is pregnant it is not too long before the rematch is organised and a date is set. Then, (as in the first movie) Apollos' is trained by Tony Evers, (played by Tony Burton) and Rocky is trained by the aging Mickey Goldmill, (played by Burgess Meredith) the fight is on. In a bit of a twist and to aid Rocky to win, Mickey decides to train him in a totally different ...

Review of Rocky 2 (DVD)

...of the movies in the Rocky series essentially represents Stallone's career at the time, charting his rise from obscurity (Rocky), his struggles to stay at the top (Rocky III and IV), his decline from the glory days (Rocky V), and his efforts to make a comeback (Rocky Balboa). Following this analogy, Rocky II is about his attempts to deal with his new-found fame and make his way in the world. Picking up immediately after the iconic fight that climaxed ...
...back his respect, he challenges Rocky to a rematch. Rocky declines, but as his financial problems continue to mount, he eventually relents and agrees to the rematch against Adrian's wishes. Mickey, his old trainer, initially advises him against it, but after witnessing Creed publicly insult Rocky, he agrees to train him again. Unlike last time, Creed takes this fight seriously, training with far greater intensity and determination. When they meet ...

Review of Rocky 2 (DVD)

Sylvester Stallone returns as Rocky Balboa in this sequel to the hit 1976 blockbuster Rocky. Imaginatively titled Rocky II, the story continues from the end of his historic fight with Apollo (Carl Weathers). Having made his point and a few dollars Rocky is advised not to fight again for fear of losing the sight in his right eye. Apollo has other ideas ... Having won the fight on points the World Champion boxer is receiving hate mail. He knows the ...
...once and for all that Rocky was just lucky last time. With this in mind he starts goading the now retired underdog. Meanwhile Rocky has spent all his money, married the love of his life and even managed to produce offspring. Desperate for money (he gets sacked from working in a meat packing plant!) and tired of the constant public jibes coming his way he goes back to his trainer Micky (played by Burgess Meredith) to help him get his own back. After ...

Review of Rocky 2 (DVD)

...stands out as the best Rocky film to me, possibly because it was the first one that I saw. All of the cast return for this sequel, with Apollo desperate for a rematch with Rocky to prove that he can beat 'this bum'. Rocky is less keen on the idea of a rematch. He has Adrienne now, and she's having his baby. He tries to make money elsewhere, doing commercials, going back to work with dead carcasses, but we all know that he's really a boxer! Adrienne ...

Review of Rocky 2 (DVD)

Rocky II, The second out of the six, If you have not seen the first Rocky this film might be hard to understand but it will still be a good film and worth watching, The main story of Rocky II is that Apollo Creed the guy Rocky had to fight in Rocky one wanted a rematch because he said Rocky was just lucky and this time he is going to show him who is champion, So Rocky agrees and its training time for Rocky again, He also gets married to the love ...
...really angry and he wants Rocky dead! he told him that he wont last long this time, but Rocky was also ready for it he had been training to box with his right hand because he normally fights left handed ( Southpaw Jinx) this was to confuse Apollo, The same happens again really with Apollo beating rocky but this time Rocky has an amazing last round they were both tired out by this point and they both went down for the count at the same time, But Rocky ...

...manager Mickey (Burgess Meredith). Also Rocky has the pressure from his one true love Adrian (Talia Shire). Should he live his dream and fight for the title, or listen to the wishes of a woman he cares so much about? Many un-predictable twists and turns are produced in the film, which makes it suh an epic story. Rockey love for Adrain and boxing are on he line with many obsticles on the line. Rockey has a choice to make, but will it be the right ...
...all those tol in life that they could'nt do it. From the boxing clubs of the backstreets, to the summit of his sport; from unknown fighter, to a symbol of American defiance. Rocky is a hero of his age, and his story, an epic tale for our times. ...

Review of Rocky 2 (DVD)

The Rocky films since the oscar winning ROCKY I, have all stuck to one set genre and format. This format has made the series exactly what it is - abunch of "let's get pumped, let-me-at-em" films. This format was all born from Rocky 2, which is why the title is the best of the lot. From the very second Talia Shire urges Rocky over to her bedside to tell him just one more thing you know something great is about to happen. WIN.....WIN Rocky WIn! "What ...
