I enjoyed it.

Surprise of the movie for me was when Brigitte Nielson walked in!


Adonis will be training Logan balboa in about 20yrs after Rocky dies of cancer and his dad dies in a house fire from a crockpot.

Saw it tonight. Good father-son movie. Is it an Oscar contender? No. Then again I can't tell you the last Best Picture winner that was truly enjoyable outside of a niche crowd (Return of the King maybe?). It is a damn solid movie though.

And Russian women are some shallow, fickle, front running bitches. If Marvel ever needs a Hercules for the MCU or hell if anyone wants to make a live action Hercules movie (mythology based), then Viktor Drago has to be the top choice. Dude looked like a Greek God come to life.

Predictable but badass. Fun movie.... don’t go in expecting a groundbreaking film. It is great for what it is.

I saw it. If you love the Rocky franchise, you’ll love it. Felt kinda bad for the Dragos and wish there had been a little more interaction between Rocky and Ivan.

Saw it today, pretty solid movie. A few complaints though. One that I read about the first one also applies here, what does his girlfriend and now baby being deaf add to the story? Nothing would have changed if they weren't deaf. I think they weakened Drago a little by giving him mommy issues. He was almost a sympathetic character.

I hope they are done with this series. Creed has avenged his father and become heavyweight champion. There's nothing more for him to do. I don't really want a Drago spin off.

I saw it last night. I really liked it. I wanted some more interaction between rocky and Ivan than we got. I also wanted more of Ivan and Victor actually talking instead of what we got. Overall great movie.
God dammit Max Kellerman got on my fricking nerves though. They should have let Jim Lampley talk and maybe RJJ.

Got a lot of Rocky II and III vibes from it and it was awesome.

Sometimes you have to appreciate a movie that doesn't get too cute and just goes with what works.

Cheesy training montage was only part I didn't like, but wouldn't be a Rocky movie without that.

I like that they didn't make out the Dragos to be the ultimate villains this time. They were actually sympathetic characters and you felt for them.

End of the movie hit me all up in the feels also. Well done and great follow up to Creed all the way around.

Really well done movie.

I could have done with a little less focus on the wife and baby though. Boring and slow parts that I have zero interest in.

I wanted longer training montages, but they needed to get rid of the clip where Creed falls down on the street and picks himself back up. That was cheesy x10.

Fights were extremely well done. You felt the punches.

Only complaint with the fight is there were too many close up shots which takes you out of how the overall match is going. I prefer the wide view camera they used in the previous Rocky movies.

Yeah I know, but the whole time Adrian was on Rocky's arse about fighting, and then the whole time she was in a coma was boring as well.

The "Win" line is finally when things pick up

Coogler is a shitty writer/director, and Michael B Jordan should frick off after blackwashing the Human Torch.

I liked Creed 2, but it wasn't nearly as good as the first. To be quite honest, I'd have much rather seen a movie focusing on Ivan/Viktor. That was way more compelling than any of the family stuff with Adonis. The guy who played Viktor did a great job in the scenes he had to show some range.

I was expecting Ivan to try to fight his son for losing only for Rocky to step in and knock him out. I was surprised by the twist of him having a heart and the symmetry with the towel. Loved seeing Robert too.

This is liberal Hollywood. The white grandson of Balboa will marry the black granddaughter of Creed.
When Rocky refused to coach him I wish the dialogue went something like this:

"I have to avenge him!"
"He's already been avenged, kid."
"Not by me!"
