Rocky II

Pros: Quality sequel, consistent with original
Cons: None

Warning: If you’ve spent the last 30 years on another planet and don’t know (and don’t want to know) who wins the Rocky fights, this review contains spoilers. So after the epic of a first movie in which an unknown gets ...

Pros: Great acting by the supporting characters
Cons: Long and boring dialogue, Stallone's directing

After the great ending of the original Rocky (as well as the fact that it made a lot of money) it wasn't a surprise that there was a demand for a second film. Director John G. Avildsen wouldn't be back placing Sly himself directly behind the camera. This ...

Pros: Good hero.
Cons: I found myself realizing Mike Tyson will never end up down on his luck financially, as Rocky did.

Rocky takes an amazing beating in Rocky 2, Rocky takes such a beating, It is amazing he is able to come back and fight in Rocky 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (I don't know if there was a 7)

Rocky 2 picks up where Rocky left off. In fact, it picks up...

Pros: set in Phila.
Cons: see review

Let me tell you. This past weekend was a banner Philadelphia-movies weekend for me. I watched "Fallen", "Rocky II" and "Philadelphia" - all set in (where else?) - Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love.

This...

Pros: Local boy makes good, hard work pays off, good guy wins
Cons: Bloody fight scenes

As I write this review, I just want to let others know I am NOT a sports fan in any way shape or form. I have no interest in it or no knowledge about it yet I still found this movie energizing and compelling.

In this follow up to the original...

Pros: It's Rocky, Worthy sequel, Good movie on it's own.
Cons: No extras on the DVD!

This movie my friend’s is the sequel to the greatest film of all time. If by any chance you have not seen Rocky do the following things to rectify the situation: (if you have seen Rocky read on)

1. Buy (don’t rent) the Rocky boxed set.
2....

Pros: classic, warm story
Cons: gory

This 1979 sequel to the original 1976 classic story begins with Rocky Balboa beginning a new life with his newlywed Adrian, played by Talia Shire, and their new baby boy. Taunts from both the media and fans brings a once reluctant Balboa into the ring...

Pros: Great For Rocky Fans
Cons: Much Like The Original

I am a rabid Rocky Fan, so I have to give this one high marks. I think this is a great return for the whole cast from the first Rocky movie. The big problem is that this feels to much like the first Rocky film. To me this is not a bad thing it is just...

Pros: This is a follow up to the first movie.
Cons: None.

In this second movie, Rocky finally ties the knot with his girl friend Adrienne and together, they start a family by getting her pregnant and later on having their first and only child which was a son.

Rocky's career too, takes off even...

Pros: acting, likeability of characters
Cons: a sequel, so not fresh

The basic cast from the Oscar-winning Rocky returns for the sequel. Sylvester Stallone as Rocky, Talia Shire as Adrian, Burt Young as Paulie, Burgess Meredith as Mickey, and Carl Weathers as Apollo Creed. Since the original was so great, this film was...

Pros: Worthy continuation of Rocky, faster paced boxing match
Cons: It drags at some points

This film picks up just after the fight between Rocky and Apollo.  Interestingly enough you'll find some inconsistencies in the film that couldn't have happened in the course of 2 hours.  (Time between the fight and being taken to the ...

Pros: Good from the heart sequel. Great fight scenes.
Cons: First 2/3 is slow and some of the blossom is off the rose.

Yoh, ah let me say first of all I love the Rocky series and concept, so if that turns you off just forgetaboutit. That being said I like Rocky II but it is not the best of the 5 series which by the way if you can get it on ebay is running around $120...
