I wanted to like it more!

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2019)

Creed II, serves both as a sequel to both Creed and Rocky IV (indirectly). I had really high expectations for this one, with Stallone still in it and with the return of Ivan Drago. What else can you ask for? Who knew this would happen 33 years after the fourth Rocky installment? Now fans (me included) wanted something original from this movie, Drago's character development, we didn't get this unexpected thing, first match went as we expected and somehow he will find strength to go against him one more time and beat him. And this is what happened, I wanted to see something more than that...What I really like though was the family moments and especially the final scene when Rocky reconnects with his son see his granddaughter for the first time...that was touching. It's really sad we won't get to see the Italian Stallion once more but this is life, and so his character, he passed the torch to Adonis Creed character. And just to make it clear, there won't be another Rocky Balboa!
