Predictable, cheesy, over the top, ridiculous and disappointing.

Sigh......Been anxiously waiting to watch Creed 2 since I enjoyed the original and I've loved all of the Rockys with the exception of Rocky 5. The premise for Creed 2 is solid and the previews looked great. So my wife and I were excited to watch the latest installment of this franchise. It started off well but after 45 minutes it lost it's steam.
First off Drago's son is almost twice the size of Adonis.There is no chance in hell this fight would happen in a legal ring because of their weight discrepancies.
The movie then dragged on after Donny's first fight and his trying to find a purpose for himself. The nonsensical toe-to-toe training in the desert was just ridiculous and cheesy. Followed by the walk on music with his wife singing in the background. Then the even more ridiculous fight where Donny found the inner strength to beat Drago's son. Even after the loss, Drago proclaimed his love for his son.
The worst part of this mess is that it tried so hard to make everyone happy and desperately tried to find story line for this movie. It ended up becoming an embarrassment. It ended off so ridiculously bad that I honestly felt bad for Sly. He signed off on this mess and was a contributor.
It pains me to say this as I'm a huge Sly and Rocky fan but I hope he puts an end to this franchise. It's over Rock. Time to sail off into the sunset.
