Surprisingly, this exceeded expectations — it wasn’t good-good, but as Rocky sequels go, it’s definitely the best. The original Rocky was great because it mixed the whole fighting-underdog boxing story with a sweet, romantic innocence; this sequel comes as close to that original ambience as any Rocky sequel is likely to come. I hope they close the series on this note.
