Although the decline is noticeable and in the background the plot is like the first film, but with another ending (which from the first one of his achievements seemed to me that) is developed in a slightly different way so that it is saved If it doesn't look like a "autoplagium", some characters evolve, especially I would highlight Mickey and Apollo, which for me are the sauce of this movie, one for asking Rocky to take this fight much more seriously and Apollo, because no He wants to win, he wants to convince.
In the case of Adrian, Paulie and Rocky are more or less in the same line, which has merit being three characters that are not stereotypes at all. There are small errors, such as the impact of the first film is already lost or there are some scenes that have extended more than the account, such as when Rocky works on something he does not like and we see him doing the same things.
Anyway it is a more than worthy sequel, and if you have wanted more with the first installment you will like how continuity is respected.
