Rocky struggles in family life after his bout with Apollo Creed, while the embarrassed champ insistently goads him to accept a challenge for a rematch. It's the best boxing film yet, but there is more to it than just the sport. Are there annoying things in this movie? Yes, like the overdone acting. But the movie has enough to keep you entertained. Stallone is good when he is bad and good when he is good, so no point in dwelling on him. From an artistic standpoint, there were some story elements I didn't think were needed. This is the kind of film that proves that a small story can be much more meaningful than a larger one. My overall rating: 7/10.
