Creed II
Boxing has experienced a renaissance lately thanks to the many other sports that cause concussions.
And the healthy heavyweight in this action movie is spearheading that revival.
Not long after he becomes the world heavyweight champion, Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) accepts a challenge to fight the son of Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), the man who killed his father. But without Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) in his corner, Donnie barely scrapes by with his title - and life - intact. But with his wife (Tessa Thompson) and newborn battling their own medical issues, Donnie doesn't have time to wallow before the rematch.
While the original cast excels in their roles again, the nostalgic narrative of this overly inspirational sequel relies too heavily on Rocky clichés. Meanwhile, the loss of the original director is felt throughout, especially in the handful of fights depicted.
Besides, it's hard for boxers to be fathers because babies are just too smart. Yellow Light
