Great addition to the Rocky franchise

Rating: Null/10 (2 December 2018)

Creed 2 was a great and enjoyable film. It was a good story line to bring back Drago and have a match up to settle the score. The film was great in pace and intensity. Creed had a big foe to face just like Rocky did all those years and had things to prove, great to tie these legacies and stories together.
It is no easy feat making a new Rocky film which is why this was well made. A number of previous Rocky installments had used various angles and stories but using the same formula would not work today. This was also not a simple good vs bad like Rocky 4. Depth and meaning was given to Drago about their loss and how making it in boxing was important to them as well which gave the film weight. Even the final fight was slightly different and showed some growth on the opposite side. For me the Rocky of the 80s will always be my favourite so it was great to see a new film pay homage and do a great job.
Great film. I am curious to know where the franchise goes now but excited if there will be another one. 8/10
