If You Are A Rocky Fan, You Should Enjoy It

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2018)

I saw "Creed 2", starring Michael B. Jordan-Black Panther, Friday Night Lights_tv; Sylvester Stallone-The Expendables movies, the Rocky movies; Tessa Thompson-Westworld_tv, Thor:Ragnarok; Dolph Lundgren-Kindergarten Cop 2, the Expendables movies and Florian 'Big Nasty' Munteanu-this is his first movie.
This is a sequel to the 2015 Creed movie-which is a spin off of the Rocky movies-following the life of Michael/Adonis Creed, the son of Apollo Creed, from the Rocky movies. If you are a Rocky fan, you should enjoy this movie. Sylvester/Rocky Balboa is Michael's trainer. Tessa plays Michael's singer girlfriend that has a hearing problem. Michael is riding high since he became the world champ but Dolph/Ivan Drago puts a crimp in his celebration by challenging Michael to fight his son, Florian/Viktor Drago. If you remember from the Rocky movies, Dolph killed Michael's father in the ring so there is some bad blood between them. Even Sylvester is wary of the fight-wait until you see Florian and you will probably agree that it's not a good idea. The guy is huge. The fights are brutal and staged very well. There are a couple of cameos from people that were in previous Rocky movies.
It's rated "PG-13" for sports action violence, language and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 2 hours & 10 minutes.
I really liked it and would buy it on DVD.
