Creed 2 had potential (after all the dragos are back) but it just was souless. Creed 1, set the bar re. The reboot with a more 'real' factor. In keeping with that creed didn't actually win at the end of the first film, which seemed authentic.
In creed 2, we get the same attempt at 'keeping it real' yet his adversary this time is about 50% bigger, now that's were the authenticity took a ko (rocky 4 was a fun movie we knew rocky in reality couldnt beat drago) . No way would creed win, even in the final fight he gets KO'd 3 times , gets ribs broken yet turns the fight and wins..like wtf ? Then there are the tedious rocky monologues .. I know sly considers himself deep and all that but rocky saying serious philosophical stuff just gets a bit boring. There are some highlights like the inter drago relationship, which needed more film time (or gets an off shoot). The classic rocky montage was the weakest from the franchise too. Like many others at the end you wanted drago to win ...which means something went wrong with the story telling.
