"Good Rocky Sequel/Spin-Off!"

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2016)

Sylvester Stallone, Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Tony Bellew and Phylicia Rashad star in this 2015 drama sequel. This is also a spin-off where we meet young boxer, Adonis Johnson (Jordan) who wants to become a respected fighter. He tries getting out of his father, Apollo Creed's (Carl Weathers) shadow and soon, he seeks help from retired fighter & Apollo's friend, Rocky Balboa (Stallone) to help train him. Rocky decides to take him under his wing and helps him not only to become a great fighter, but gain self-confidence. Thompson plays singer, Bianca who Adonis finds romance with, Bellew plays boxing champ, Ricky Conlan who Adonis agrees to fight and Rashad (The Cosby Show) plays Apollo's wife, Mary Anne. This is a good film, Stallone is great as usual and Jordan also gives an exceptional performance. I recommend this.
