It was more a Rocky sequel than a Creed sequel

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2018)

While the film had it's good parts, and the fight scenes were spectacular, it lacked the spark Creed had. That film was about Adonis, and his internal struggle to find his identity, while the sequel is mainly about his boxing career, which is why this is more like a Rocky sequel. I did like how in the end we finally saw Ivan as a human being, and not a cardboard villain. Brigitte Nielsen had a very effective cameo, in one of the films most emotional moments.
So all in all, if you're going into this movie expecting Rocky VII, you won't be let down.
