THE GREAT CONFRONTATION

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2019)

Creed II is 8th movie in Rocky franchise. It screams that it is a Rocky movie. Story is so predictable and disorganised. There are some cliches too. You can easily say: "Oh, that was so familiar." during the film. It is one step behind of my expectations. First Creed was better, no doubt. I would prefer to seeing Ryan Coogler as director. I said lots of bad things about it. So, is it not worthy to see it? Not, it is worthy to see it in a theatre or buying its blu ray for sure. It is better then some Rocky movies for me, including 3 and 4. Also, cast did a great job. Micheal B. Jordan, Sly Stallone, Tessa Thompson, Dolph Lundgren, Florian Munteanu... They all were amazing. It was a great experience to see Ivan Drago again in a different situation, facing with Rocky again, seeing his background story after the events of Rocky 4, his relationships with his son and wife... About Viktor, he is a better villian than Conlan in first Creed. But he couldn't be the greatest Drago. His father was more scaring and bigger than him. And their fight with Adonis was not so intense and brutal. But Adonis was still on fire, he was great. On the other hand Creed II is our last time to see Stallone as Rocky. This is so dramatic. Oh, final sequence was so dramatic too. It was a great ending.
