The movie that fans wanted for years!

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2019)

When you look at the comments section of YouTube. In the video of Apollo Creed vs Drago on the Fandango MovieClips channel. You will notice a lot of fans wishing that Adonis Creed would fight Ivan Drago's son. The creators of Creed (2015) must've known how to do proper fan service. Because here we are, the movie that fans wanted for years!!
When I heard about it, I was shocked. It was a good shock, I was thinking. "Ivan Drago, that evil boxer from Rocky IV had a son? I have to see this!" It was also beneficial for the character of Adonis. The darkest part of his past had caught up to him, and he has to face it head on.
Like Rocky IV, I love how much the movie puts an impact on how dangerous the Drago's are. For example: When Ivan and his son Viktor arrive in Philadelphia and are standing on the steps overlooking the city. You can't help but feel that there's a dark cloud looming over the city, because the man who killed Apollo Creed has returned.
It's tough on Rocky too. Because this man, Ivan Drago, is the one boxer he's tried his hardest to forget and now he's back. He tries to prevent Adonis from fighting Viktor, but it doesn't work. I like how both Rocky and Adonis have their own good reasons. Rocky is still beat up over Apollo's death and doesn't want the same thing to happen to Adonis, while Adonis wants to avenge his father and change history.
The emotion and Nostalgia are real in this film. It may not have an amazing soundtrack like Rocky IV, but it makes up for it in story. Rocky knew if Adonis would have a chance at beating Drago, he would have to train like Rocky did. So Rocky takes him to the Desert. Similar to how Rocky trained in Ice-Cold Russia. And let's just say Adonis' 'Hearts are on fire now' XD.
On the final battle, you help but cheer for the hero. (I wish I saw this film in IMAX.) I found it interesting how Ivan threw the towel in. It's a subtle reference to what Rocky should have done in the fight years ago. I love in the end how both Adonis and Rocky get over their personal fears and revisit the people they love.
This movie is a definite win and worthy of being in the Rocky saga. There's just one more thing I have to say. BRING ON CREED III! I want Clubber Lang Jr!
