Rating: 8/10 (3 March 2020)

Creed II is a good but not great movie. I am a huge Rocky fan, and ifvI would rank Rocky movies it would be the second weakest ( after Rocky 5). The weakest part is Tessa Thompson singing. Thompson who in my humble opinion is like jello or tofu as a leading lady ( ok she is not as bad as Kristen Stewart who I detest but that does not say much). The real highlight ( as other people mentioned) is Dolph Lundgren's Drago, who spoilers ahead: Shows he is not a monster ( or the most evil Rocky villain ( that would be Mr. T's Clubber Lang)) by saving his son Viktor by throwing in the towel (unlike Rocky who did not save Apollo Creed in Rocky IV). You learn that Drago really suffered and lost everything ( except his son) when he lost to Rocky in Rocky IV, and my favorite scene is him running with Viktor at the end. Both content. I
