Rocky Rehash

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2018)

Creed II is not a bad film, but you have seen it before. Creed II is a combo of Rocky III and Rocky IV. Just about every single scene is taken from the two Rocky movies. Creed wants to fight Drago, but Rocky does not think that he can win because Drago is hungry - Rocky wants to fight Clubber Lang, but Mickey thinks he cannot win because Clubber is hungry. Creed loses to Drago and then hesitates to fight again and has confidence problems - Rocky loses to Lang and has confidence problems. Rocky gives Creed the speak that gets him to admit his fears - Adrianne gives Rocky the talk to get him to speak his fears. Creed changes his boxing style to fight Drago - Rocky changes his boxing style to fight Lang. Creed goes to a new training facility that is tougher than his previous one - Rocky goes to a new training facility.
While it was a fun movie to watch - there was nothing original. It was Rocky III with some sprinkling of Rocky IV all over with a new boxer.
