Predictable, but with a bigger heart and everything you want in a Rocky film

Rating: 9/10 (22 November 2018)

While this film is the eighth in the Rocky franchise, it is very predictable from start to finish. It is hard for the eighth film to do something completely different in a loved franchise and end up like...you know, Rocky 5. So this movie has a very modern take on what made the original Rocky's so beloved. Stallone also gives one of my favorite performances as Rocky, and Michael B. Jordan continues to impress on the screen.
What stands out about this movie the most is how much it focuses on family and loved ones. Creed II has arguably the biggest of all of the movies prior.
With everything fans love about the Rocky films, and the biggest heart of the franchise, Creed II is easily one of the best movies of the franchise, top 3 at least.
