Excellent follow up to the original. Nothing beats the original, but at least Rocky wins in this one
An impeccable sequel that excels in every way! Watching this first time is an EXPERIENCE! A pure diamond in cinema! Must watch!
Mate don’t even bother with the first one, this one’s where it’s AT!
A worthy sequel that is overshadowed in discussions by the over the top entries. I love it.
One of the better sequels of all time. Another classic sports movie
A worthy sequel that ups the heart and the character development of its protagonist.
It’s characters are handled with such care and focus, and the very soul of this movie makes me want to cheer each of them on too.
Rocky has to deal with family life and a possible rematch with Applo Creed.
Has some pacing issues, but it's a nice continuation. I think I like it better than the original in some ways.
Hits harder than the original, literally and figuratively. Deals with deeper moral and existential themes. The fight goes beyond the ring.

Rocky Balboa is a Philadelphia club fighter who seems to be going nowhere. But when a stroke of fate puts him in the ring with a world heavyweight champion, Rocky knows that it's his one shot at the big time — a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go the distance and come out a winner!
After Rocky goes the distance with champ Apollo Creed, both try to put the fight behind them and move on. Rocky settles down with Adrian but can't put his life together outside the ring, while Creed seeks a rematch to restore his reputation. Soon enough, the "Master of Disaster" and the "Italian Stallion" are set on a collision course for a climactic battle that is brutal and unforgettable.
Following Rocky Balboa's intense battle with his most powerful adversary yet – the ferocious Clubber Lang – Rocky joins forces with former rival Apollo Creed in an effort to get back his fighting spirit.
Rocky Balboa holds the world heavyweight championship, but a new challenger has stepped forward: Drago, a six-foot-four, 261-pound fighter who has the backing of the Soviet Union. This time, Rocky's training regimen takes him to Siberia, where he prepares for a globally televised match in the heart of Moscow. But nothing can truly prepare him for what he's about to face – a fight to the finish, in which he must defend not only himself, but also the honor of his country!
A lifetime of taking shots has ended Rocky’s career, and a crooked accountant has left him broke. Inspired by the memory of his trainer, however, Rocky finds glory in training and takes on an up-and-coming boxer.
When he loses a highly publicized virtual boxing match to ex-champ Rocky Balboa, reigning heavyweight titleholder Mason Dixon retaliates by challenging the Italian Stallion to a 10-round exhibition bout. To the surprise of his son and friends, Rocky agrees to come out of retirement and face an opponent who's faster, stronger and thirty years his junior. Rocky takes on Dixon in what will become the greatest fight in boxing history!
