The Rocky saga continues

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2020)

The son of Apollo Creed, Adonis Johnson (very well played by Micheal B.Johnson) talks Rocky Balboa into training him as a professional boxer, eventually fighting for the World Light Heavyweight title in England (against real life boxer Tony Bellow).
Unlike John Rambo Rocky has had to hang up his gloves, in some ways this is a retread of the original movie. But that doesn't matter, it's a well made, engaging film. Sure, the fight scenes, although well filmed, are exaggerated, but that is in keeping with the previous movies. And at times it did feel a little too long.
Although this film is called Creed it is as much a Rocky movie, he's a fighter in more ways than one, I found that aspect quite touching. Sly Stallone, incredible actor, full respect to you.
Seconds out for the sequel..
