If I can change, and you can change...

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2019)

After watching Creed 2, the second time around, I have a greater appreciation for it. I liked the character development of Drago and his son and Brigitte Nielsen's cameo. Drago character has much more dialogue and human emotion this time around, and I really like how they show what happened to him after his loss to Rocky. Other great moments, include the obligatory training montages, the return of many characters in Creed, the score by Ludwig GÃ¶ransson, and seeing Rocky reunited with Robert.
I felt a deleted scene from Rocky IV with Apollo, a voice over from Carl Weathers, or a flashback scene so Carl Weathers could some how reprise would of been a nice. Also the lack of remorse to Rocky about the death of Apollo from Drago is missing. Drago has so much development in this film, I felt this would of been a way to complete his character development,and show that he has changed as well. These missing elements make it difficult for me to rate it higher than a 8. It is a solid B.
That being said, all Rocky films are enjoyable, this one is no exception. If you are a fan of Rocky and Creed, "go for it" and watch this.
