Satisfying sequel to both Creed and Rocky 4

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2019)

Here's my review of 'Creed II'. So creed 2 is not directed by Ryan googler and yet doesn't look different from the first movie. The movie stars Michael b Jordan as Adonis Creed and he was great ! But sadly his character wasn't as inspiring as Rocky balbao or Billy hope. The supporting cast were also great , esp sly Stallone as Rocky , there's so much wisdom he gives Creed that you feel like he's the grandfather you need. The story is about Ivan dragos son vs Creed's boy . When the first movie built on this idea , I thought it was really brilliant how they put a nod to the rocky universe. This time I felt it was more of a cashgrab idea to ripoff the rocky franchise nostalgics. But I was proven wrong with the final act in this movie. Even though this is a sports - drama , I felt the drama part overtook the sports part which despite being super slow was great ! . the training montage in this movie is like a music video but only with bad music. Once again the final act was just really amazing and the visuals were just on par with fine editing and fight choreography . It was like a fusion of warrior , south paw and rocky. In the end I wasn't a big fan of the first Creed movie and I felt this one is much better despite its cashgrab moments .
