Mixed bag

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2019)

+ The performances were good. Stallone and Jordan have a nice chemistry
+ I enjoyed the dialogue

40 minutes too long. When you strictly follow a predictable formula it drags when its this long.
The story didnt click as a whole. I dont think that winning the championship should be a throwaway thing to start the movie, but some thing to build up to. I dont buy Adonis as champ. I dont buy someone with as little experience as Drago being able to shock a champ no matter how strong he is.
muddled character motivations

-tonal clash - rocky 4 was an over the top cartoon - hard to believe it's the same universe
I would recommend this movie as a rental if you're into this kinda thing. I enjoyed a lot of what they did, but the whole just wasnt very fulfilling
