Doesn't Work

Rating: 3/10 (10 March 2019)

I enjoyed Creed I. There was some substance to the story, but Creed II doesn't work. There is no way Creed can have the success of the Rocky series without some better writing and new ideas. If you've seen the Rocky series, you've seen this movie. It's as if they took the scripts from the various Rockie movies, made revisions and voilÃ . I like Jordan, but may need to be careful of taking on lead roles that are so limited. Any actor with beyond the right physique could play Adonis Creed.
The best parts of the movie were seeing Phylicia Rashad (Mary Anne Creed) Milo Ventimigilia (Robert Balboa) and Wood Harris (Tony).
