Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Rocky 2 (DVD)
Advantages: Area Codes Disadvantages: Everything else
Considering the whole Rush Hour franchise is sponsorship with Def Jam you would have thought this album would have been littered with tunes, but im afraid to say, like many soundtracks, the flatters to deceive with too many fillers to push the single 'Area Codes'
Obviously the cd mainly consists of Def Jam artists, LL Cool J, Method Man, Montell Jordan and Luda and with the list of artists youd sometimes quite happily buy it without listening, i wouldnt bother.
Area Codes - Ludacris & Nate Dogg. By far the best track on this album, single and video released
Mine, Mine, Mine - Montell Jordan. Average follow up, doesnt do much to keep the flow going
Party & Bullsh*t - Method Man & Teddy Riley. Poor productions from TR, his beats have been shot down so much i can see why. Whatever Method Man does on this track is overshadowed by ...
Advantages: Continuation of the Rocky story, good action Disadvantages: Very repetitive.

● Direction
This is a huge problem in RockyII, as not only has Stallone written and starred in the movie, he has also directed it. Not that he has done an absolute dire job, but in the hands of a more established director, maybe the film would have risen from being just average. Part of the trouble is that he has made some of the scenes so unrealistic, such as the already mentioned Pied Piper run.
● Sound track
Like the first Rocky movie the soundtrack to the film is quite unmemorable, other than the use of "Rocky's theme" and "Take Me Back" there are not many noticeable musical pieces. It wasn't until later on in the Rocky series did we get "Eye of the Tiger" thrown upon us.
