The Flagship

I never understood why this film faired so poorly against the original Rocky. All the classic elements are still there. After his colossal battle with Apollo, Rocky squanders his new found wealth rapidly and attempts to find a new living again after retiring from boxing thanks to the injuries he suffered. The only thing more bruised than Rocky's face from that fight was Apollo's ego, and after rec... read more

I have heard from friends and family and read from other reviewers that the rest of the Rocky films after the first one are absolutely irrelevant and almost served no purpose in the slightest. However, when I saw the sequel to Rocky, I absolutely loved it and I can't understand why people didn't give this one as much credit as the first film. It was epic, emotional and quite intense throughout the... read more

A solid, worthy follow-up

"This guy don't just want to win, you know. He wants to bury you, he wants to humiliate you, he wants to prove to the whole world that you was nothing but some kind of a... a freak the first time out."

Back in 1976, nobody had anticipated Rocky to be the commercial success that it turned out to be, particularly on account of its minuscule budget and lack of big stars. Yet, over the ... read more

He marries his fiancée Adrian, buys her an expensive fox fur, a sports car for himself, and a large new home. When a projected stint in TV commercials fails because he is unable to remember his lines and cannot read the 'dummy boards' being held for him, an embarrassed Rocky is forced to work for the meat packing company that Adrian's brother Paulie works for. When Rocky later gets ... (more)

"18.2. Onnistunut jatko-osa, joka on vielä pysynyt samassa hengessä tehtynä. Tämän jälkeen olin kuitenkin innoissani siitä että pääsen näkemään 3n ja 4n seuraavaksi."

Movie Reviews (751-800) (50 movies items)

" Solid sequel and rematch that continues the story with the same cast and crew and it still feels pretty realistic even if it now ends with a crowd pleasing ending and Rocky getting married. An unnecessary whopping five minute repeat of the first film's last minutes that feels too much for any viewer. "
