Chick flick masquerading as a fight film

Rating: 5/10 (24 November 2018)

Drama!!!! I'm coming in having not seen Creed but having thoroughly enjoyed Rocky and Rocky Balboa thought this would be in the same vein. But no. Heavy on the drama. And incidental contrived drama. Fight scenes were good, the formulaic training montage was meh, but the chick flick scenes were far too dominant and unnecessary (unless you're a chick maybe?). Gave it a 5/10 cuz fight scenes and an aging Stallone imparting aging Stallone wisdom.
