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!
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.
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).
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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 👍🏽 ❤
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.
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
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
The ending quote speaks volumes for anyone who has struggled to be recognized: “Yo, Adrian. I did it!!”
The subtitle of my day when her Rocky III reaction is up:
VISIBLE EXCITEMENT
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!!
Rocky III is also very emotional, great trio
This franchise will make one shed many tears.
Rocky 3 is a must now. You'll like it.
You are ABSOLUTELY going to love Rocky more with each movie in the franchise (including Creed!).
This was a fun reaction. 10/10 would watch again. Can't wait to experience Rocky 3 with you.
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"
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.
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.
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 😊
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! 🙂
The training sequences in these Rocky movies are absolute cinematic genius.
Adrian just melts your heart when she says “win”… it’s like she knows that Rocky has been by her side the entire time and wasn’t going to leave it, so now she is saying it’s time for me to be by your side and I trust you and then watching his demeanor change, and the music montage starts, You know it’s game on and it gets me every time
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.
I've seen many reactors go through this Rocky journey and it never gets old! Rocky is one of cinemas most endearing characters. Cant wait to see you continue this journey 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.
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.
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 🙂
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
Loving your Rocky reactions, and YES….you will love Rocky more and more with each film.
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.
Such a brilliant sequel to an excellent original film, looking forward to the rest of the series. Cheers and Happy Weekend from Canada, Addie. 🥃☮❤
REST IN PEACE CARL WEATHERS 🙏. ROCKY 3 AND 4 WILL HIT DIFFERENT NOW
Don't cry Addie. Makes me want to give you a hug 🫂
#HugsForAddieCounts
Oh god CRINGE
@@GeorgeTropicana try doing something other than trolling TH-cam comments. Now, I hear your mom calling you from upstairs for dinner. Off you go.
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. 😎👍
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.
Addie, I absolutely loved your reaction to this movie. The joy and tears at the end of the fight. Amazing. Can't wait to see more of your genuine reactions. No spoilers from me, but continue to be ready for a rollercoaster ride. There is nothing formulaic about these movies. So buckle up! Be safe and well, and be good to yourself.
This is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. One of the reasons is Apollo Creed. He may be one of the most understood characters in any movie. You have to remember he was undefeated and the only reason why he ever fought Rocky in the first place was because no one wanted to fight him. Basically Apollo was so good no one ever presented a challenge for him. Until Rocky. When his manager was telling him Rocky kept coming after him it was the exact wrong thing to say. Apollo realized there was finally someone who could finally test him. Take Apollo to his limits and make him for the first time really see what he's made of as the world champion, if he trained as hard as he could and went all out. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity Apollo could not resist. While he ultimately lost, he gave it his all, never backed down, didn't take the easy way out by winning on points, and went out like a true champion.
Really great movies. Everyone loves Rocky! You did a great job. You are adorable.
Rocky running with the kids following him is my favorite moment in the Rocky movies.
This movie has got to be characterized as one of the Greatest Sequels of all time! The way the Director includes just the right amount of the first 'Rocky' makes it so captivating, it develops an intense connection for the audience with ROCKY'S goal of being The Champion...
This is a great series. Can't wait to see you react to the nexr one!
I can't wait to watch you go through the Rocky saga. They're very inspirational movies. I love your reactions ❤
"Poor soup." -Addie 2024.
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.
Loving seeing you see the beauty of the Rocky saga. Rocky and Adrian are simply the best and compliment each other soo well. Keep rockin at it Addie
"Except for my kid been born, this is the greathest day of the history of my life".
I don't think I've seen Addie as teary-eyed from the beginning to the end of a movie quite like this before. :)
I remember watching the films at the end of the 90s, and as a child, most of the lessons went unnoticed, until one day I decided to visit the franchise at the end of my adolescence, and I confess that I went with a bit of prejudice because at that time Stalone was already known as an actor in action films where everything was about shooting and explosions, but this film is so different and it was all so impactful for me that at least once a year I have revisited all of his films since then.
26:17 -- LOL ....that's hilarious.......the face was obviously a reaction to the idea of naming a baby AFTER Paulie, not the name itself.....
Oh, how sweet you are. I got here just by curiosity and I ended up watching the best "first time watching" I've ever experienced on TH-cam. Full of feelings. Believe me, I tried to hold on but you made me cry. Such a nice experience with one of my favorite movies. Thank you.
That's why Rocky is so successful and so good. You can't help but fall in love with Rocky 😊
7:41 I love the way Rocky turns to look at the priest mid kiss 😂😂
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!!!
Watching Rocky reactions is one of my favorite hobbies 😂
Ya gotta love Mickey's lines:
"He's just a man! You're a TANK kid.
RUN OVER'EM!!!"
Your delight in watching this film is positively infectious. ❤
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!"
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
If you love Rocky and Apollo together, you’re in for a treat in Rocky III. Man, watching you react to these movies, really makes you think they knew exactly what they were setting up for each next one 🙂
Don't be ashamed of the tears. Above all, Rocky is a love story. Glad Mickey is growing on u & even tho Apollo is the "bad guy" u like him. W/that, you'll LOVE Rocky 3. Keep going!
My goodness. I’ve seen this movie a thousand times… still cry like a baby. I can’t wait til you get to “Rocky Balboa”.
She’s going to be a wreck at the end of Rocky 6
Yeah, Mickey really grows on you throughout the series. He’s always there for Rocky in one form or another 🥲
About Mickey, and your surprise over your growing fondness for him. It's interesting to think about how he was hurt and disappointed in Rocky, for taking the enforcer job, instead of doing more with his boxing talents. Mickey seems mean to Rocky in the first movie, but it's because he truly cared and saw more in Rocky than Rocky did in himself, perhaps.
I always liked Mickey in the 1st movie, too. It's easy to think he's trying to exploit Rocky when Rocky gets his shot at the title, but that's a misunderstanding of his motivations. He always wanted to help Rocky make the most of his talent.
In a rewatch of your amazing Rocky franchise reactions I’d like to remind that beginning of the 1980s they started laser eye surgery. Pauline mentions Rocky getting his face all fixed up. One could believe he had his vision corrected.
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.
Adrian is Rocky's heart...and Rocky would have a HARD time winning without his heart behind him!
I agree completely! Rocky is great, but II is one of the best natural continuation sequels I can think of. It's so good. The ride is JUST getting started!
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.
Good one, Addie. Yeah, these really are some special movies. It's fun to see you enjoying them so much. Thank you for sharing it. 🙂 The 6th one is still my favorite though!
Thank you for crying... we all felt proud of him when he won and felt the same way you do way back then... good reaction to a classic sequel movie
The whole Rocky franchise is such a great love story. I love seeing your reactions to them...I mean, who expects to cry at a "boxing film". You Addie eat lightning, and crap thunder with all of your reviews!!!
The actor who plays Mickey plays Penguin in the Batman tv show in the 60s
Thanks, Addie, for sharing your delightful reaction to another great movie!
Rocky II is my favorite out of the first four movies (due to personal circumstances, I never got into any of them after IV). But speaking just about those four, I think what made them so great is the way they built upon the strengths of the first movie. Those sequels were so good because they kept adding to what had come before, making us feel closer to the characters we knew and caring about them even more.
III and IV actually have elements that I think make them better, in some ways, than I and II but, all things considered, Rocky II remains my overall favorite.
Making each of these movies even more enjoyable, though, is watching the way you're becoming so connected to the characters and drawn into their stories. Seeing how emotional you get helps me (and many others, I'm sure) relive my original feelings in such a strong and wonderful way.
Thank you, Addie! 🤗
My seven and eight-year-old kids watched through the whole series around Thanksgiving this past year and it was my wife’s first time watching. I always loved the Rocky movies because my wife’s demeanor is a lot like Adrian’s… at any rate, during the slow motion, part in the slow count while Apollo and Rocky are trying to get up on their feet, both of my kids were screaming at the TV for Rocky to get up. Over 40 years old and seeing my kids totally engrossed in the story was remarkable. just a heads up, that many more emotions await you. If you continue with the story, my kids were just as much into those as they were with this one, just still so amazed that they were yelling at the TV screen.
The last three minutes of this movie are soooo good!

…….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 ❤️ 💯
Your HEART is sooo big and open Addie !! ❤❤❤
I love it!
In Rocky 1, it is about going the distance, in Rocky 2, it was about getting back up.
Rocky isn’t really about beating someone up or even being the best; Rocky movies are about resilience. In every movie, the battle is within himself, with each movie exploring a different demotivating factor.
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.
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.
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.
The next Rocky movie makes you love certain characters in a different way, and the emotional impact ramps up even more; you'll be heartbroken, devastated, elated, and deeply moved!! Bring tissues!!
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.
Rocky just withstood a bloodbath, and the first thing he says to Adrian is "Where's your hat?" Gets me every time.
Adrian told him to win, so he did. End of story. I love Rocky too.
"I feel like a Kentucky fried idiot" best line in the training scene! Lol😅 Wow what a great reaction Addie! This one is one of my favorite in the series! Mickey is the best at insults! He pulls no punches! (Pun intended) I'm glad you are continuing with this series and I can't wait for Rocky lll! Ahh... Better get some tissue ready.... Gonna need it! Luv ya Addie ❤️💛
Yeah, gotta give the warning huh? Just like you did before watching the next one, right?
Very cool reaction Addie! Your true feelings and emotions really make your videos special. The next two I think you will enjoy, they have good stories and still have action.
Great reaction! Glad you’re loving the series so far 🤩
My feelings on Rocky II go as follows: A Worthy Sequel.
I just found your Rocky reaction and watched both of these reactions tonight. I love how invested you are in this. I look forward to seeing you experience the rest of the series. Rocky was one of my favorite film series growing up. I grew to love those characters. And there are moments in the films that still make me laugh, cry, and cheer as if it is the first time I've ever seen them because they are so well written and powerfully done. A lot of people will probably say skip part 5. That one is by far the weakest in the series but it is still worth a watch and is necessary to truly understand and appreciate where things are when you get to part 6 (Rocky Balboa).
Great reaction again! You speculate a bit about the next movies also being fights between Rocky and Apollo. Notice what Apollo says after the fight: "Good luck".
