Great continuation but...

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2019)

Overall the movie is a great continuation of the rocky franchise. Keeping rocky alive as a trainer is a brilliant but if they make another episode, they need to progress rocky more. Former world champ, made a sold out comeback fight then went on to train 2 World champions and yet he's still living like a bum.. Makes no sense.. Even as a small business owner he'd be doing better than he's portrayed. If Creed 3 happens I hope they've addressed this or at least explained what he's doing with the fortune he's made..
The whole plot is great tbh, the movie moves the characters along and the appearance of drago is epic. Would have loved more interaction between rocky and drago.
My biggest problem with the movie is the music tho.. Its dreadful.. The training scenes, the fight entrances etc, very poor choice for a soundtrack. It doesn't uplift or even make you will the characters on. Whoever chose the music really let the movie down and because of that it did kill the mood of some great scenes.. Like in the desert training. Awful. I love hiphop but this is like mumble rap rubbish..
Lastely, and this really was a poor choice for this film. Was having creeds fiance sing his entrance.. That was really cringy and really goes back to my point about the music being dreadful.
Other than that tho I've seen the film a few times and it's still enjoyable. I'd like to see more rocky in a 3rd outing, I'm sure I'm not the only one who watches these to see what Ricky's up to.
