Rocky IV, Part II

Rating: 6/10 (3 December 2018)

This was basically Rocky 4, Part 2. The good news: it was better than the first Rocky 4. The bad news: it was NOT better than the first Creed. Still, it was entertaining enough. A well made silly franchise movie is a well made movie nonetheless. The cast is great and the direction is solid. So even though I knew every single plot point instinctively, even though I laughed audibly at points and rolled my eyes at others...I still got into it. I still cared. It wasn't great, but it wasn't awful either. Creed somehow reinvented Rocky, and Creed 2 for some reason impersonated Rocky 4. Both were pretty fun to watch, in their own ways.
