Review: Maybe one of the most underrated sequels of all time. Rocky II (1979) succeeds to deliver character and story development simultaneously and brings on the surface many emotions. Emotions of an athlete, emotions of an ordinary person, emotions to everyone! It is really well, if not better, directed and well performed by all main characters. The final fight brings every viewer’s adrenaline at its peak. Sylvester Stallone made another excellent choreography and put his body through hard training. This specific training will live throughout all history and will inspire many generations.
