Achieves the near impossible.

Rating: 9/10 (4 June 2019)

It's crazy how many people today simply can't wait to write terrible reviews that are utterly inaccurate (half the time they haven't even seen the movie). Somehow it makes them feel good or something. It is beyond my comprehension. The critics, in my humble opinion, got it right with this one. It IS as good as the first. It has depth and emotion and real characters with real flaws. Magnificently directed, great acting (is it possible that Stallone got better with age, or is it just the many stereotype roles he's played have betrayed his real acting talent, as shown in Cop Land.) Creed 2 is fantastic. A truly great boxing movie and a credit to all concerned. I think there are narcissistic people today who would give movies like the Godfather, Schindler's List, Apocalypse Now, Star Wars, and Citizen Cane, 1 star ratings. I feel sorry for them.
