Review of Rocky II

Rocky II (1979)
7/10
The rematch
18 January 2022
In the second movie, Rocky's life after his glorious fight against Apollo Creed is demonstrated. After earning a good sum money from the fight, he becomes kind of an upstart and wants to improve his lifestyle. He finds difficulty in adapting himself to his new life. He doesn't know what job to do to earn his living. On the one hand, he is too unskilled for a desk job; on the other hand, he is too famous to do manual labor. Finally, he accepts the rematch offer of Apollo.

Acting is generally nice, but in my opinion, his personal life is a bit too much elaborated. This was unnecessary. The fight is great but it takes part only in the last 15 or 20 minutes. The movie is watchable but not as good as the first one.
