A knockout

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2018)

Creed II review: I saw Creed II and I absolutely loved it. It fits right back to back with the first. Michael B. Jordan is great. Sylvester Stallone is great. Tessa Thompson is great. They're all great. Now as of right now I still can't decide which film was better. The characters get the development needed and the fights are more intense than ever. Seriously Viktor Drago is an intense, menacing force in every fight. Bringing Adonis to his breaking point. His worst condition. They don't hold back. I thought this was the perfect next direction, connecting the old films to the new, without feeling really forced. The end of this also calls back to the history of Rocky which I won't state here. With all the brutality this film brings, it brings just as much emotion. I was getting sad during it not even an hour in, and I'm sure you will too. Basically all I have left to say is the character of Adonis Creed is spectacular and I can't wait to see where he goes next.
