   If you've seen Rocky IV, you really do know where Creed II is going. Even if you haven't, I think its plot points are pretty familiar. That you expect certain things to happen doesn't mean it's boring though. I think this may be the first boxing movie I've ever seen in a theater, so I don't know if that's why the fighting sequences felt so visceral, but I was wincing all the way through them. As with the first Creed, it did a good job of making me understand the strategies involved so that it was more than a simple punch-up. Where the film forges its own way is in the personal stories. Creed is not Rocky, he's a very different fighter, and his story must be different. I especially liked how making his partner Bianca a singer actually pays off in the boxing story, and of course, Stallone continues to make Rocky a lovable lug in his old age. The big surprise is the Dragos, a toxic relationship that manages to draw the audience's sympathy and feel truthful. Something of a far cry from the robotic monster of the original film. 5 years 9 months ago

   Lesser sequel. You have a problem when you're not routing for the lead characters. The Drago father son storyline was much more interesting. Stallone is great in his "final" Rocky appearance but this movie shows again that rehashing the story from Rocky 2 and 4 without Rocky and Adrian gives different results. It was ok but nothing more. I have my doubts about Creed III 5 years 3 months ago

   The most predictable movie I've ever seen, not to mention cliches are off the charts. 5 years 6 months ago
