Stallone's wise-old-man role as Adonis Creed's Yoda is not new, but has matured since Creed and is very much fun to watch as he delivers Jedi-master words of wisdom in shorter-than-a-Tweet sound bites. The battles in the ring are spectacularly cringe-worthy and or course the climax will play out in 12 rounds. Kind of goes without saying.

Adonis' truth-of-character is buried deep and as a "dig-deep" story, it comes with more nuance than you'd expect. But as predictable (or not) as the movie formula may be, you'll enjoy the ride if you let yourself. Why not let yourself?… Expand

TheA sports movie sequel done right, "Creed II" takes everything that worked so well in "Creed" and augments it to a satisfying degree without entering the realms of silliness that some of the other "Rocky" films unfortunately wandered into. The stakes, the circumstances, the character arcs, the time span -- all of it is heightened, making for a fantastically enthralling and invigorating movie-going experience. And with a really nuanced look into the lives and motivations of the antagonistic forces at hand in the film, it all ultimately shapes out to being more than just your average "good-fighter-versus-evil-fighter" slugfest. This is a much needed, crowd-pleasing effort with some terrific performances, an epic feel, and a commanding mainstream directorial debut from one Steven Caple Jr. Color this opinion unpopular, but I might just like this one more than the first.… Expand

The performances from the cast are amazing, especially from Michael B. Jordan, and the movie does a great job fleshing out the extremely cheesy Russian villains from Rocky 4. It's not as groundbreaking as the first Creed movie, but the themes and fight sequences are great enough for me to walk out of the theater wanting to see more Creed.

Sure each new installment has gotten a little cheesier over the years, but there's no denying how inspiring and full of heart each of them are as well, and the franchise really returned to form with the release of the first Creed film three years ago! In this go-around, Adonis Creed takes on Viktor Drago, son of Russian boxer Ivan Drago, whom Rocky famously fought in Rocky IV in order to avenge Adonis' father and Rocky's friend Apollo Creed who was infamously killed by Ivan in the ring. The stakes are certainly higher in this film, as Creed fights for honor, his family, and justice for his late father. Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone also make for a great and inspiring duo once again. And like with many of the previous films, it does feel very derivative at times and borrows heavily from past films in the franchise, but that still doesn't even come close to stopping the film's infectious and inspirational energy, and if it's not enough to get you pumped, then I don't know what is! Overall, even if it does take quite a few pages and tropes from the previous films, it hardly even matters and is more than likely to have any moviegoer pumped and cheering by the film's end!… Expand

It's one of the better Rocky movies. Yes it's a the same old formula, but it's a winning formula and due to the excellent script and acting it still packs an emotional punch. If you like Rocky movies you'll like this.

I've been procrastinating on this one for forever, and people kept saying that this one isn't as good as the first Creed. That blinds us easily. It easily makes us think that something's just straight up not worth watching because it'sYes!

I've been procrastinating on this one for forever, and people kept saying that this one isn't as good as the first Creed. That blinds us easily. It easily makes us think that something's just straight up not worth watching because it's "not as good."

But this thing was great. I like that it didn't forcefully introduce any new characters but instead just developed Creed, Bianca and Rocky more. Those are the characters I enjoy watching and there was more to learn about them so why not? Bianca has a small singing thing going for her and she sounded gooooooood. The only thing I was a bit indifferent on was the pregnancy ****. It happens immediately after they have sex after Creed proposes. Why does it always happen like that? Like they've been together for a while and only now she gets greganananant. Did they have sex for the first time? That whole thing was pretty pointless overall.

While fine to watch, the story follows the same predictable formula. It's the same thing again; Creed wins a fight, takes another fight since he's overly confident and loses it and then you go through some mental ups and downs and get ready to fight the same dude again. Nothing groundbreaking is done here, but the directing is good so it's still enjoyable to watch. The training montages were great, the character moments felt genuine, and the camerawork was fun, albeit not as creative as in the first Creed. Bianca's small music subplot is used creatively during the last fight's entrance which I thought was very surprising and awesome. The soundtrack to the movie itself was great too. Rap, once again, by many artists that specifically made music for this film. I loved it.

The antagonist or whatever the **** main boxing bad guy was pretty good too. Nothing too special but they took an old bad guy from the Rocky's who had cummed a son, and made the son some sort of killing machine. It was an interesting twist, but it's not like Creed was gonna lose anyway since the whole movie builds up to that last fight in the same way every Rocky movie does. But it was fine. Not the old bad guy though. The actor was bad. Also sometimes the fight scenes looked fake and the audience looked like two extras copy pasted to be an entire boxing audience. Maybe the director was high ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That is all :D… Expand

The best thing about the film is that it has something missing from the Rocky franchise after IV, a really good opponent. Whereas Ivan Drago was like a machine, his son Victor is more like a vicious animal in his fighting style. He actually seems agitated while having to wait to fight. It doesn't hurt that he is a mountain of a man. He's also the most sympathetic villain in the Rocky canon. Once I learned his history and motivations, I honestly didn't have it in me to root against him.

The cast is great all across the board. Again, Sylvester Stallone has Rocky nailed down. Although Adonis Creed has his moments of bad decisions and lashing out in a jerky and immature manner, Michael B. Jordan does such a great job of expressing his vulnerability and raw emotion that you can't be upset at him. Although it is a small role, Russell Hornsby has an excellent scene as a pragmatic and opportunistic fight promoter. You kind of wish he was in more of this. This is also probably Dolph Lundgren's best acting.

The only major downside is that the movie suffers from following similar plot beats from other films in the franchise.… Expand

The cinematography does have some nice points, but really few and fine, but again, there isn't comparison to the first one.
In the first film, and in other Rocky films, sometimes we had an opponent where he doesn't have much substence, it is just a strong and hard to beat dude, wich maybe what it is in Rocky 4 for example, and i found it very important to not be like that, when they made you care, almost equally to both sides, then this is a story that it is great, and, fortunately, this is what happens in here.
The way that they built the whole Victor Drago sequences is really good, he isn't just a evil guy that wants his name on the top, it is way beyond that, his back story with his mother and father are strong and you can see that he is doing that for bigger reasons, to make his dad proud and for take back their lifes how they were before Ivan lost the fight for Rocky, and you can see that a lot of times, how Victor react to certain things in some moments are really touching, you wish him better and you unserstand him. Considering this, it gives a nice resume of how this movie reaches in our personal life, this movie is a lot about fatherhood. We have the Drago relationship, the kid trying to "fix" old things and making his dad proud. Adonis with his daughter, that gave him a lot of extra, gave him inspiration to go on and be better with his hardwork. And Stallone with his son, that he wants to speak with him, but it is afraid of getting into ans messing something up, so as with his father, that he still wants to make him proud and make the name giant, it is very well made. This is strong, father and son relationship is a strong thing, able to make you do things that you wouldn't believe, with the body and even more with the mind, and i think that the film represents this really well.
There are two training sequences herre, the first isn't a big deal, there is a nice montage with a cool ending, but nothing very special or different. Now, the second one is amazing, they go all the way back into no training in technological places and going to nature, get into the desert and that whole sequence is so great, so inspiring, so strong, so painful and raw, they could do a different thing with different training sessions or even the same but in different ways that end up being fantastic.
Ivan Drago character was really good, almost everything, since where and how he lives with his son and how he manages to do the training, you can see the necessity to win and get back what he used to have before the Rocky 4 fight. More to the end one thing happen and there you can see a big character transformation, was really emotional and really well done, wich also is in function of the very nice Dolph Lundgren job together with the Florian Munteanu job, they both had nice chemistry, we could totally see how Victor was struggling and trying to help his father to get back up in life and the end he have some really touching moments, they both.
Another nice script moment is the one where Adonis and Bianca daughter was born, in determined moment a possible tense moment is happening and it is crucial for what is going on in the story, and the way that it is done, without even one dialogue, showing great acting by Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson, it was so strong and so real, one of the best scenes in the whole film. Stallone is also great in this film, he is a lot like in the first one, but in here he does have a nice improvment in the fatherhood part also at the training one during the desert. There are some really nice dialogues in this film, some really deep and wise things said that can be used in your life. There are strong and provocative moments that worked just well with Ivan Drago. But at the same time there some that could have had better moments, like the first conversation between Rocky and Ivan, it was ok, but it could have been even stronger. Dialogues between Adonis and Bianca in this one also get much better, Bianca have way more to do in here and she helps a lot in the inspiring part.
Creed 2 gets exactly where it should, it is not just a boxe movie, it is a movie that talks about life, about struggle, change, difficulties and how to get up and keep fighting, even when you fall, get up and keep there because it is worthy the hard work of something that you love. Talking a lot about parenthood, making others proud and having something more to keep you hardcore, this is what it is about and it is beautiful and inspiring.… Expand

The film bringsAfter the surprisingly amazing first Creed, there was huge expectations for the second one. However, director Ryan Coogler does not return for the sequel but is instead directed by Steven Caple Jr. Let start with the positive.
The film brings back over the top villain Ivan Drago and introduces his son Victor Drago. What this film does great is actually make Ivan Drago human. We actually care a lot about what is going on with the Drago family and my only disappointment is that we didn't really get to see more of them. The film also has some great music albeit not as good as the first in my opinion. Likewise it has some great boxing scenes but again it ain't as good as the first one which also had the amazing one shot fight scene.
The film feels like Rocky II and Rocky III combined as it has Creed dealing with his new fame but also being challenged by a raw powerful boxer. The director manages to give more depth to the characters especially with these drama.
The actors also all give a great performance as usual.

Lets go over the negatives
Creed II does not really change the Rocky formula and this film retreads a lot of the same grounds that was in the first Creed. It retreads the Rocky giving Creed the mantle again. It has Creed trying to live up to his father, again. It has Rocky and Creed drama, again. Additionally, Creed's motive doesn't always feel necessary or right but people just support him anyway. He wants revenge but doesn't even remember the fact that Rocky did that in Rocky IV? The film can basically be summarised as "not as good as the first one" but if you love the Rocky franchise or enjoyed the first one then there is no reason not to give this one a watch… Expand

Creed 2 hit on so many levels for me. Amazing performances, especially by Michael B. Jordan who just brings his character Adonis Creed's personal development to the forefront of the movie. Some may say that the movie starts out slow, but asCreed 2 hit on so many levels for me. Amazing performances, especially by Michael B. Jordan who just brings his character Adonis Creed's personal development to the forefront of the movie. Some may say that the movie starts out slow, but as it was more of a drama in the beginning leading to the culmination of an 80s training montage and final fight scene that the choreography and intensity will get your adrenaline pumping, I would compare it to lighting a fuse that burns slowly to a stunning fireworks show. And yes, the fight scene in the end is what brings the movie home; I was on the edge of my seat, bobbing and weaving with Adonis, wincing with each connected hit from the Gorilla sized Florian Munteanu who plays Drago (side note, Michael B. it's absolutely jacked in this film, but dwarfed by Florian), and the suspense that builds up to this scene and even between rounds so palpable you can taste it. But the truly impressive part to this movie was the dramatic 1st and 2nd act. It brought up things that most people have had to deal in life such as the fear and uncertainty of becoming a parent, the fear of having a child with a disability and how you will deal with it, and the pressure society puts on men and taught how they should deal with emotions (that some would call "toxic masculinity") to name a few. You would think all this emotional stuff in a badass boxing film doesn't make sense, but I promise, it somehow, just works! Now I won't go on record saying this movie was flawless, but the issues I had were minuscule, such as what seemed to be forced scenes/lines involving Rocky, and an underdeveloped Drago storyline (most likely cut for runtime), but overall, in my opinion, this is easily a top 5 movie of the year. Speaking of Drago, though he is the antagonist, you don't hate him! Especially as the movie progresses and his character develops and you understand his motivation to fight, I ended up liking him. So if you couldn't tell by now, I am saying go see this movie, in theaters if you can as it's just as much an experience as it is the story that delivers (the Dolby theater sound/base helps you feel those hits).… Expand

Entretanto, ainda assim funcionou bem. As lutas são muito bem coreografadas, fazendo com que a sensação dos socos passe para o espectador. Decidiram focar mais no contraste entre os dois lutadores, o que acredito ter sido uma decisão sabia, apesar de que achei que o antagonista merecia um pouco mais de tempo de tela, mesmo que suas expressões, olhares para o pai/mãe e o jogo de câmera já entregassem o necessário para uma leitura dele.
Basicamente, enquanto um tinha tudo a perder, o outro não tinha nada senão a obsessão do seu pai pela vingança - que fez sua cabeça desde de criança e culpa o Rocky por todo seu fracasso.

Mais uma vez Stallone e Jordan entregam uma boa atuação, a trilha sonora não foi tão boa quanto a do antecessor, mas funciona bem. O arco dramático foca muito no psicológico do protagonista, visto toda a tensão de provar seu nome e todas suas aflições sobre ser pai - ainda mais de uma criança com problemas auditivos. O final é emocionante e todo o cenário para com foi muito bem construído. Recomendado!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Creed ll is sport drama film. Released in 2018 and considered one of the most exciting films in the Sylvester Stallone series. It stars Michael B. Jordan as boxer and Victor Drago as adversary.
The film is about, Adonis Creed returning to a new round with the help of former champion Rocky Balboa to face his adversary inside the ring called Victor Drago, the son of the boxer who killed his father in a previous fight. So, will Creed be able to avenge to his father ?
The film is has various amazing action scenes. The soundtrack is very magnificent. The costume and the set go very well together.
I’m a big fan of sport films and I would highly recommend Creed ll, especially for people who are fond of sport films. The film will take you to an exciting end, when you will see who the champion is. You won’t regret spending your time watching this movie.… Expand

Its a real Rocky movie and it follows with the visuals and themes of those movies. That hard work and determination can overcome an insurmountable obstacle and that when you get knocked down, it doesn't matter. What matters is you get up and keep fighting. The fights are epic, new aspects of the boxing world and real boxing personalities and real life stories are brought in. Creed 3 is not a Rocky movie. Creed 3 takes place in a fantasy world that doesn't have much to say and certainly doesn't have a believable plot line and the characters are non-sensical, almost looney-tune like. This movie doesn't have the most unique plot but it touches on the generational boxing rivalries we're starting to see today like Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn. It may not be a groundbreaking story but guess what, boxing has been around for a long time and history tends to repeat itself, its a boxing movie. Not a Scorsese film. And in the end the fight scenes are brutally awesome and the tone is inspirational. Creed 3 forgets that. The tone of that film is dark despite the stakes feeling kind of stupid. And again, the plotline is absolutely baffling. I'll take predictable seeing as that's what I want out of a Rocky film over baffling and stupid but new.… Expand

The journey of Adonis Creed is reproduced again in an almost perfect manner and has really beautiful and dramatic moments up its sleeve.

The acting is like a well-set K.O. Beat absolutely on point.

Both part 1 and part 2 are great experiences for boxing fans and non-fans alike.… Expand

Familiar faces from the fourth Rocky installment return here, so big nostalgia for fans. The training here is a bit better than in the previous installment in my opinion and the overall opposition much more interesting. I'd say the film relies on nostalgia quite a bit and I found myself constantly eating it up, and the film manages to reminisce about the five-part Rocky series more than once. Everything worked here, except the music. It was good, but it didn't fit here and there. It was just too modern and I understand the need to move with the times, but for me it just doesn't have the classic Rocky Theme. For me, a good movie that I recommend.… Expand

Creed II was a sequel that i wanted to be, a better one, after the great new fresh starter of the first Creed, Creed II offers an exciting new and also a past story, Creed Vs. Ivan Drago son, Viktor Drago, now Rocky Vs. Ivan Drago match inCreed II was a sequel that i wanted to be, a better one, after the great new fresh starter of the first Creed, Creed II offers an exciting new and also a past story, Creed Vs. Ivan Drago son, Viktor Drago, now Rocky Vs. Ivan Drago match in Rocky IV is still by far my favorite Rocky fights, and to make these decision of a story was great, Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, and Tessa Thompson still leading a fantastic performance, Dolph Lundgren was better than ever, the quality again was great, and the most importantly the main event, the final fight was just incredible, something that quite missing in the first Creed and maybe because this is a much personal fight, and how it ended just can't get any perfect, Creed II was a deeper movie than the first one, it is also the more personal one, and because of that Creed II is better and a solid sequel overall.… Expand

An insatiable desire to see Sylvester Stallone on film has caused a frenzy. Met with talented acting and directing that the sequel doesn't need to improve. The single boring but fixable flaw in an otherwise excellent film is inadequate video editing.
