Stunning

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2018)

For me, this film has more heart than the first creed. The back story to Adonis' motivations to fight are wonderfully crafted and like his father, he's headstrong and doesn't always make the right choices.
A lot of people say Rocky 4 was a low point in the franchise, but equally a lot of people cite that film as the peak, and hold it dearly. I'm in the second camp, I love rocky 4.
To have a film reference something classic from 1985 in 2018, making it work on all levels, proves how well crafted this is.
Stallone proves a humble creator, handing the baton on to the next generation with elegance. While our leading man and his family struggles work perfectly to balance the heart and mind of our main man.
Even Dolph, who I've always loved, puts in an emotional performance with a limited script, burying his demons through his sons talents and drive.
If you're a true rocky fan, this shouldn't disappoint! See Creed 2, re live it and re love it!
