"Creed II" is a painful movie to watch. The original "Creed" was just as bad. The Rocky series of movies is a failed franchise. One is a classic ("Rocky"), another is great ("Rocky Balboa"), one really good ("Rocky II") and now five really bad ones ("Rocky III", "Rocky IV", "Rocky V", "Creed", and "Creed II"). 3 wins and 5 loses is pretty bad. So is "Creed II". This movie is filled with uninteresting characters doing uninteresting things. Michael B. Jordan is an actor for fourteen year old girls. He can't act but he always takes his shirt off. When he gets into the ring it's totally unbelievable. The too long running time ( forty minutes longer than "Rocky IV") just makes matters worse. Dishonorable mention: the always annoying Phylicia Rashad.
