If you enjoyed this Movie you should Check out ( Cinderella Man ) or ( For love of the Game ) Like Button ✅ has been Illuminated 😁👍👍😎🤗
You will be a changed individual by the end of the series. It will change your life.
8:11"Am I just gonna love Rocky more and more with each movie?"
That's a correct prediction if I ever heard one. ❤😉
I don't care what anyone says, the first two Rocky movies are not about boxing. They are wonderful love stories and studies of a tough man with a tender heart - with boxing as a backdrop.
True. The Boxing is actually comical. The hits “Rocky” took to the face and absolutely after the 2nd knockdown if not way before, would have been stopped TKO!
@@Prodigal1Not in the 70s and 80s. Stop pretending you know what you are talking about.
@@staytrue5307 bull 💩
I understand why people say this... But it is a boxing movie. It has more to it than just boxing because it's a movie. It's like saying Mighty Ducks isn't a hockey movie. Or John Wick isn't an action movie. They all are, but it's just the underlying structure to tell a broader story.
@@Project_Worm Fair point!
Mick and Paulie are complex characters and it's part of what makes these movies so amazing. There's plenty to dislike about them, but they also have plenty of good moments that give some of the best emotional scenes in the series.
Not only are they complex characters, but unlike in a lot of movies, they feel like real people. I'm sure everyone has someone like Paulie in their life where your relationship with them kinda swings back and forth, whether it be someone in a friend group or a family member or a co-worker.
Rocky 3 is a must now. You'll like it.
Hope you watch them all. People hate on the latter ones but all have their moments.
They only one that everyone hates on is "Rocky 5." Stallone had paired up with the original director, John Avildsen in the hopes of trying their best to replicate the success of the original movie. Thank God that Stallone had decided to make "Rocky Balboa", which I believe had ended the series on a more positive note. 😎🥊🇺🇸
@@edkeaton And that they stuck with that at the ending, choosing instead to keep the series going through a new character entirely with some of the best baton handing-off I've seen a franchise execute
Rocky is what you see is what you get. Humble and tough. I love when ladies start the Rocky/Creed series, because it's a love story about a boxer and the boxing is the secondary story and once you realize that, you enjoy it so much more.
Don't cry Addie. Makes me want to give you a hug 🫂
#HugsForAddieCounts
Oh god CRINGE
@@GeorgeTropicana try doing something other than trolling RUclips comments. Now, I hear your mom calling you from upstairs for dinner. Off you go.
Ya gotta love Mickey's lines:
"He's just a man! You're a TANK kid.
RUN OVER'EM!!!"
You getting choked up at the end got ME choked up, lol. Can't wait for you to see III.
Awesome reaction of my favorite Rocky movie!!!!😊😊😊😊
The baby was Stallone's real-life son Seargeoh.
Addie, I said it last movie. ROCKY is a love story. ✌
Now watch Rocky 3. You'll fall in love with Apollo Creed in that one!
if its one thing your going to learn Addie in rocky in training is no pain no gain.
Ya got to get through at least Rocky IV! 🙂
Wait until you watch the 3rd. More emotional, bigger challenge.
Addie, wait until you get to Rocky IV for the best training montage of them all.
😂😂😂😂💥 I've seen this,, no shit, over 50 times, counting reaction channels now I & I was crying right along with ya. Mostly the end!!🤘😭🤘
Yet, the only thing I never got closure on, where is Adrianne's hat
3,4,5, and 6 to come, I hope?? :)
Really interesting reaction. I don’t think Rocky II is as good as the first, but this reminded me what is good about it. It’s much more of a crowd pleaser and pays off a lot of the delayed gratification from the first. On repeat viewings it’s blatant sentimentality I don’t think plays as well as the first film, but it’s certainly effective.
The films take a bit of a turn into a different style for the next two, but even if they’re not your thing, stick with the series as with Rocky Balboa and especially Creed it goes back to its roots and the payoff is well worth it.
Stallone's acting when Adrian is in the coma is absolutely top notch. He makes you feel like it is you in the situation.
In all seriousness, Sylvester Stallone is one of the most under-rated actors of his generation. Obviously, a lot of his roles don't give him much chance to show it, but when he does have the chance, he's terrific.
Agreed. I hate when people say he can't act because he absolutely can when the material is right.
@@stormdavis3178 They say he can't act because of all the Yo Adrian and slurring. He was playing the part that he created. That sort of changed as the series progressed, but it was his vision. But in interview after interview Sylvester Stallone shows that he is an extremely intelligent man. He wrote, directed, and acted in most of the Rocky series, and in my opinion, Irwin Winkler should be ashamed of himself and turn over ownership of Rocky to its creator. He's a great actor and American.
"I was wonderin' if you wouldn't mind marrying me too much" Best proposal EVER. Keep going with the franchise! Many emotions await!😂
Oh yes...Rocky III is VERY good!!!
I admit I start feeling it when rocky asks if she's busy for the next 30-40 years
"I'll be a good guy I promise/ I aint gonna do nothing wrong"
One of the details I always loved in this movie is at the end of the fight it is Apollo that hands Rocky the prize and raises his arm in celebration. Apollo set himself up as the "bad" guy to have a rematch I always believe it was because deep down he didn't believe he won the fight and he needed to know, but at the end he knew for sure that he had lost to Rocky and he was alright with knowing that. Both Rocky and Apollo have the spirit of true fighters. Great reaction and I hope you continue the Rocky journey.
Dang, you got me all wrecked!! I'm a 53 year old man who saw this as a kid and only cried then....that is until reaction videos...every reactor who cries after the 10 count just destroys me...beautiful reaction, Addie!Also, can we get some love for the incredible Bill Conti who wrote all the Rocky music...the sheer perfection of the themes he wrote are as much a contribution to the emotional power of those movies as ANYTHING.
48 but, otherwise, same!🤣
54 year old man here, and same.
55 and ditto.
45 😮💨
52, same
I was 8 years old when we went to the movies to see Rocky 2. I missed the end when they started the count, everyone was standing and yelling for Rocky to get up. I couldn't see over everyone. I remember my dad trying to lift me up to see. It was a different time back then.
That’s so cool
Tony (“Duke”) continues to shine in his limited screen time. In the first film, he was the only one to recognize Rocky’s tenacity and punching power. In this film, he says it outright: Apollo Creed is the greatest fighter in history, beat Balboa within an inch of his life, and still could not put Rocky on the canvas for the ten count.
Duke is my favorite minor character in these movies. “…and he kept. Coming. After you.”
I still love when Apollo says "You fight great but I'm a great fighter" lol
@@Nick_CF - Hey, no spoilers, buddy!
@@previouslyachimp bro calm down
I'm gonna drop you like a bad habbit!😠@@Nick_CF
What's so remarkable about the Rocky franchise is that somehow the first movie won the Oscar for best picture *and yet* everyone who watches them finds reasons they might like the subsequent movies even more.
Even if you don't grow to like Paulie the person, appreciate him for being a brilliant, perfectly acted character. We see Rocky's compassion in the way he befriends Pauly, and we see Adrian's strength in how she stands up to her brother. If Rocky had to show that compassion to Adrian without Pauly it might look like pity, and if Adrian had to show that strength to Rocky it might have looked like their relationship was weakening, not getting stronger. Stallone's inclusion of the Pauly character was a brilliant move.
To this day I STILL think they should have stopped at 3 (which while it's not as pure and good as the first two is still miles better than those that followed).
Your reaction to this one is exactly why I always say Rocky 1 and 2 are a package deal. They perfectly compliment each other to the point that you really can't have one without the other. Can't wait to see your reaction to 3!
Addie! Did you notice how Apollo raised Rocky's arm and patted him on the head at the end of the fight. Just note that. Apollo was the nemesis, but he was still a class act.
I love the fact that Addie was crying 😢😢 because it shows the real emotions we all felt and.... still feel to this day! I still cry watching these films because you fall in love with him and Adrian so much! GREAT REACTION 👍🏽 ❤
REST IN PEACE CARL WEATHERS 🙏. ROCKY 3 AND 4 WILL HIT DIFFERENT NOW
This was always the most emotional rocky to me and Stallone's best rocky performance and def the best fight of the series and that fight music score is so good
It's crazy that these heart felt stories were written by Stallone himself; he's put so much of himself into it that he's able to make Rocky so genuine and real. Can't wait for your reaction to the other Rocky movies.
The ending quote speaks volumes for anyone who has struggled to be recognized: “Yo, Adrian. I did it!!”
You are ABSOLUTELY going to love Rocky more with each movie in the franchise (including Creed!).
The subtitle of my day when her Rocky III reaction is up:
VISIBLE EXCITEMENT
This was a fun reaction. 10/10 would watch again. Can't wait to experience Rocky 3 with you.
Rocky III is also very emotional, great trio
Go the distance and watch all of them! Some will say to skip this one or that one, but watching them all paints a whole picture.
Rocky 1-5
Rocky Balboa
Creed 1-3
If there were any to be skipped she already missed the opportunity. this was the only one that wasnt good, oh and part 5, but that goes without saying.
Rocky as a character is the perfect lovable oaf. He says whats on his mind and his heart and passion are huge. Stallone made sucha good underdog story where at the time the 70s and 80 movies were all about macho men shootin guns.
There are many different fan favorite rankings which only shows how enjoyable the entire Rocky series is. Along with Rocky, there are some other great boxer movies to watch. What tops my list is "Cinderella Man", based on the real history of James Braddock. Also "Million Dollar Baby" by legendary Clint Eastwood.
Rocky is more of a love story over a boxing movie. I love all these movies so much, even the Creed movies. Rocky 5 is hard to watch for me still but I’ve grown up with these movies and they are amazing. I love seeing your reactions and to see someone experiencing these movies for the first time is awesome. Love you reactions Addie. Love your smile and heart in your reactions is pure joy to see. Enjoy the ride, you can only experience the first time once!!
With the exception of Rocky 5, which is hit or miss with most people, the rest of the Rocky franchise, all the way up to Creed 2, are just absolutely stellar!! You'll love them all!
I have always felt Rocky V was underappreciated on its release. Coming off of Rocky IV and where Stallone was going in his career at the time, I wonder if some people were expecting Rocky to be fighting an alien invasion or rescuing the President. I think those who love the fifth film watch the series for the story of Rocky, the Man. And those who dismiss the film watch the series for the story of Rocky, the Myth and Legend.
@@vigglerbut Stallone has no idea what to do.
This was 1990 that it was released, fans who grew up from the first movie changed their taste, the timing was a bit late to make it.
@@vigglerthis is how I've seen it, it's a part of Rocky's life, it doesn't have to be bigger or better than the previous years, it just is what it is.
"Poor soup." -Addie 2024.
This franchise will make one shed many tears.
You’ll love ROCKY III & IV. Unfortunately everything after falls off considerably and are just ok flics at best
Bu Pauli is right; once it's set that Rocky is going to fight, she's got to be all-in. If she's still trying to guilt him out of fighting, he's going to train badly and get hurt worse because of his poor training.
Mickey sitting in the background, for every scene in the hospital gets me every time
Rocky 2 is my favourite sequel of all time. Still love that ending so much ❤ "Rocky Balboa has shocked the world"
34:12 Going by the actual rules of boxing, only Creed would be counted as being knocked down. Rocky fell over from exhaustion and overbalancing, not from a blow from Creed, so he would be ruled to have slipped only. However, Stallone wanted drama when he wrote the script, and so the referee (who was a real-life boxing referee and judge, btw) counted them both.
So happy to see people react to Rocky. By the end of all 6 plus Creed 1-3, you really feel invested and so close to the all characters!!! Great Reaction 😊
RIP Carl Weathers 1948-2024
RIP to Carl Weathers Apollo died today in his sleep.
It's truly wonderful to see generations of people find and connect to these incredible films. Rocky 2 in particular was my favorite as a young teenager and I see it as a gauge of a persons humanity in terms of how they respond to it (you passed that test with flying colours). I love that you loved this tale of human perseverence and kindness and I enjoyed every moment of your reaction and afterthoughts. Thanks Addie, you're great! 🙂
Such a brilliant sequel to an excellent original film, looking forward to the rest of the series. Cheers and Happy Weekend from Canada, Addie. 🥃☮❤
This series teaches some life lessons, in the first one that you can still win after losing. This one we learn how wholesome rocky is and what's important to him.
"Except for my kid been born, this is the greathest day of the history of my life".
Hi Addie! I'm a new subscriber, and I just adore you and your channel! Your reactions are genuine and enjoyable! "Rocky II" is such an amazing sequel. My mom had taken my brothers and I to see this back in 1979 when it was first released, and I was blown away back then. I have all the "Rocky" movies and I watch them still to this day! Thank you so much for your great channel and review! Looking forward to more vids from you in the future! Have a blessed weekend! 👋😎🙏🎉❤️
If you like Addie, you should check out Reacts With Jax. Sometimes I wonder if they're twins separated at birth.
@@Atlas_ReduxThanks for the suggestion. 😎👍
There's one thing i want you to do for me, Win! Whadda we waitin' fer
Yo, Addie. If you didn't expect to cry during Rocky II (1979), then Rocky III (1982) is really gonna hit you harder. BTW, at 12:00, the camera that is used to film the commercial that Rocky was in is a Panavision Panaflex camera, the same camera used to shoot this movie. You've seen several other movies throughout your entire life shot on those cameras
The quality image is different.
Stop foreshadowing what she is going to feel. As bad as a spoiler.
If I revealed a scene in the next movie, then that would be considered a spoiler.
@alextan1478 it's setting an expectation on how to feel. It's definitely spoiling just in a different context. Don't get defensive. It's an easy enough concept to understand.
One of my favorite lines in any movie is when Rocky says, 'You ain't never get rid of me.' The best part of the Rocky movies is how they humanize every character. It would've been easy to make another empty movie about boxing with lots of action, but that's never been what Rocky is about. Even characters like Apollo, who could've been just a one-note villain, becomes a real person you can relate to and feel for, (especially in the later films). These are heartfelt dramas disguised as action movies, which is super clever.
Written and directed by Sly Stallone!
My feelings on Rocky II go as follows: A Worthy Sequel.
33:36 Yes, Addie. If you get knocked out at any point in the fight, you lose no matter how many points you have. A knockout occurs when a fighter gets knocked down and cannot get back up before the referee counts to 10. (A technical knockout or "TKO" occurs when a boxer doesn't get knocked down but is so hurt that they are physically unable to continue fighting, and it is effectively the same thing as a knockout.) Points only matter if the match ends without either boxer getting knocked out.
Rocky wins here because both fighters fell to the mat, and the referee was counting them both out. If neither of them could get up before the count of 10, it would've been deemed a double knockout and therefore a draw (no winner). But Rocky was able to get to his feet at 9, and Apollo couldn't get back up before the referee got to 10, so Rocky beat Apollo by 1 second.
Even though it was by 1 second, it felt so bothering
Rocky is one of the greatest characters in all of cinema. He's the perfect role model, just an all around great human being that everyone should aspire to be like.

…….you have a long way to go Miss Addie ❤️ I’m here for it ! Like watching them all for the 1st time again. I was 10 yrs. old in 1976,
……I had the privilege to see them all at the theatre on their actual release dates, consumed most of my life …..the anticipation of each film and having to wait so many years in between. I believe that this rivals Star Wars franchise which I’ve seen entire catalog also on their actual release dates ! A lot of waiting but so worth it ❤️ 💯
The actor who plays Mickey plays Penguin in the Batman tv show in the 60s
Cant wait for Rocky Balboa. Thats my favorite one from the franchise! And Creed is fantastic as well, based on Apollo Creed's son
There are 1000 famous movie quotes, but there are 2 that just wreck me. This one, a single word, "win", and in Tombstone, Doc's "I don't."
RIP Carl Weathers
Really great movies. Everyone loves Rocky! You did a great job. You are adorable.
So, the unanswered question from this movie and the most important aspect of the entire franchise is...
Did the Tiger come to the wedding?
I hope you do this whole franchise it’s so amazing. And the love story will continue. And yes you will love rocky more and more each movie. He’s lovable
Apollo didn't just want to win the fight, he wanted to knock Rocky out... Had Apollo cared about winning, he would have stayed away from Rocky at the last round instead of going toe to toe with Rocky as Apollo was way ahead of points and would have won by decision... It was Apollo's emotions that lost him that fight, that maybe the thought that if he won by decision, the thoughts that he can't 'beat' Rocky (see his conversation with Duke earlier) would continue... To Apollo, beating Rocky would be to knock Rocky out, not win by decision.
Sometimes I can't decide if I like Rocky or Rocky 2 better. Can't wait to see you react to Rocky 3!!! Hope we don't have to wait too long to see it. Great vid!!!
couple of things .. Cuff and link are still alive today... and people still go to the rocky steps and run up them just like rocky :)
I alway have felt that Rocky and Rocky II, like the Godfather and Godfather part 2, its really just one movie even though its separated...it takes both to have the complete story. So story wise you cant really separate them.
36:25 Yeah. One of the great things about the Rocky movies is their bodies change throughout the series depending on the circumstance. It’s a seemingly small detail but it makes a huge difference 🙂
The second Adrian told Rocky to "win" for her.... there was zero chance he was losing to Creed.
Love Rocky, but just wish he could raise his hands and block a few hundred punches
Any one of those would knock any fighter out.
This is a great series. Can't wait to see you react to the nexr one!
Btw, please do NOT watch any Creed movies until you watch at least four Rocky movies.
She definitely needs to watch all of them through the sixth one “Rocky Balboa” for Creed to make sense
What?
The Rocky franchise never really misses. Granted the V one is close to being a “miss” but they are all just enjoyable and great!
Watching Rocky reactions is one of my favorite hobbies 😂
Yo Adrian, I did it!
The training sequences in these Rocky movies are absolute cinematic genius.
Who's crying?
I'm not crying!
Shut up!
33:34 Yes, a knockout is a straight win. When someone is counted out the points become irrelevant.
YO ADRIAN I DID IT!
Burgess Meredith was poifect as Mick❤❤❤
"Yo, Adrian, I did it". Its almost impossible dont cry.
Addie, you have many more surprises to come, in the "Rocky" franchise! "Rocky I" had been my all-time favorite, until I saw the sequel "Rocky Balboa." The follow-on "Creed" movies have become a favorite of mine also. If you plan to go through the entire Rocky Series of movies, plus the Creed follow-ups, all I can tell you is "buckle-up!"
Ok. Now let's go for Rocky III. It's a step towards mainstream.. who am I kidding, it IS a mainstream movie, but it is epic.
Hi Addie hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤️
Please watch all the Rocky movie even 5 and then watched creed 1 and 2 as well
Sylvester Stallone still has those turtles! Turtles live a really long time.
This one made you cry wait till you get to the next two
This is my favorite out of the entire ROCKY franchise
I've seen it twice many years ago and I always thought it to be the most boring of the franchise.
@@gatekeeperboxing5898 that's like saying you have a poor taste in movies.
@@karlluigi1987 Not really thats just your interpretation because I have the opposite opinion to you. I could easily have said the same to you aswell.
@@gatekeeperboxing5898 nah, base on your comment and your content, you probably like Rocky 4 the most, which is less of a story, and more on boxing and training montage.. that's why you don't appreciate an actual good writing..lol
@@karlluigi1987 Actually I haven't seen these movies for over 10 years. But the last time I watched each one I had Rocky as the best of the lot by far.
Wonderful reaction Addie, was great to see the development & growth of all the characters, especially Mickey (but not Paulie lol). Look forward to seeing you react to Rocky 3.
