Young creed is too arrogant to like

Rating: 4/10 (9 March 2019)

I finally saw Creed 2 last night and have decided I don't like it. It took me awhile to pinpoint it but I think I figured it out. I could deal with Michael B. Jordan's character for the first and enjoyed it. But it must be a matter of dosage. To have suffer the arrogance and constant brooding for a second film? That's a hard pass. He lacks any of the charm and charisma of his father, Apollo, and the likable relatability of Rocky. He's just arrogant and insufferable. While real boxers are seemingly much like him, the boxing in the movie is a slug fest fantasy so why not make the character's personality the same? Over it.
