A Terrible Film

Rating: 2/10 (11 December 2018)

Writing unoriginal and predictable sequels has been done before, by Sylvester Stallone, in the Rocky Series. I actually liked the Rocky movies upto 4, with all the ones after being pretty hopeless. The character of Adonis Creed is totally unlikeable, unrelatable and has the emotional intelligence of a 2 year old toddler. The film is a complete rehash of virtually every Rocky movie and it has no value added for anyone who has seen any of the previous films. It's so bad, I'm writing this review as the film is playing out the last 30 minutes, I don't care what happens to any of the characters. You feel no emotional attachment at any level, with any of the main protagonists. How anyone can score this film 10/10 and say it packs a punch, delivers a knockout or other boxing pub, is beyond me. I am usually patient with find and I can usually pick our something worthwhile. Even the boxing scenes, a high quality feature of the Rocky movies, is sadly lacking in this movie. Terrible choreography and fight scenes, just put the cherry on top or what is arguably one of the worst boxing movies to hit the screens in a long time. Please please please Slyvester, stop making these terrible movies!!
