Missed the mark.

Rating: 5/10 (14 March 2019)

This movie had potential but it falls flat on its face.
It's essentially just Rocky 4 rehashed so Creed doesn't die in the first fight. The music is tragic and drama between Adonis and Bianca is cringeworthy and requires fast forwarding.
But the most telling example that the writers were smoking crack, is trying to convince us that Creed being current world champ, has to defend his title in Russia because Drago insists on it. Really......someone who's life revolves around winning the title is dictating the terms of where the fight is held. Please, that was insulting to the viewers intelligence and a cheap ploy to inject some sort of excitement back into what is a dying script.
Is must be said the fight scene at the end was pretty decent.
