Everything but boxing

Rating: 4/10 (20 November 2019)

This movie had everything but for boxing. Sure there were a few scenes where the protagonist is boxing and is training, but that just makes up maybe ten percent of the overall movie. The remaining 90 percent is some pure drama, the wife's profession as a musician, how husband and wife Talk about relocating to LA to make for a better career for the wife, conducting tests on their new born kid, the hero throwing a fit every now and then, and more. Now, I wouldn't have had any problem if this were to be any other movie, but this was supposed to be a Rocky movie! Growing up, it was one of my favorites. Just the training, the simple relationship he had with Adrian, the intense boxing prep from both drago and rocky.. that was just so awesome! It was ridiculous to see the wife sing a song when creed is making his way to the ring! Very disappointing.
When creed wins the fight at the end, and rocky just sits on a chair by himself outside the ring, it felt like even Sly was pretty disappointed himself.
