Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Rocky II has a waxy feeling, and it never comes to life the way its predecessor did.
New York Times
Rocky II contains the flaws of the original: simplistic characterizations, saccharine romance, a tendency to cuteness. But it also fills the heart and quickens the pulse.

Associated Press
Sylvester Stallone's follow-up to his runaway success of 1976 is a little more threadbare in spots than the original, but it still has some conviction and spunk.

Chicago Reader
Stallone and producers Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff know from experience audiences love to root for the underdog and have concocted an irresistible final 30 minutes.

Variety
Stallone's performance as a Philadelphia saint in a B movie physique leaves you undecided whether to gag or sob, but the final fight sequences make up for it; a full-blooded Hollywood finale reaching giddy heights of cathartic glee.

Time Out
Rating: 3/5 --
By the punishing heft of the big fight, there is the clear hint that the series will soon plunge into an unpalatable patriotic fervour. For now, though, with its leathery texture of working class Philly-life it felt enough like reality.

Empire Magazine
Rating: 3/4 --
Although Rocky II builds itself around a rematch between Rocky and Apollo, the movie is anything but a lazy sequel.
