Plot: In 1985, Russian boxer Ivan Drago killed former U.S. champion Apollo Creed in a tragic match that stunned the world. Against the wishes of trainer Rocky Balboa, Apollo's son Adonis Johnson accepts a challenge from Drago's son dangerous fighter. Under guidance from Rocky, Adonis trains for the showdown of his life date with destiny that soon becomes his obsession. Johnson and Balboa must confront shared legacy as the past comes back to haunt each man:(
My Movie Review: The movie is solid as rock in build and form yet still make the same impact! Creed II might be more physical than the first one and the story has more spectacle but the take-away is still the same confronting shared legacy and just go with the flow as other sequel! Michael B. Jordan is the king of the ring with more visible physicality boxing has never been interesting even his back has muscles I wish I have that body ripped and tone it's nice to look:0 Sylvester Stallone is fading this time age is showing his a little bit lumpy and his speaking voice getting worse I don't understand some words his saying to deep I don't hear that clearly:( The villains in this sequel outshines the villain from the first one I don't remember the opposing team last time the guy is huge punch felt real is scary and who knew Russians are into boxing?
Critics Consensus: Creed II's adherence to franchise formula adds up to a sequel with few true surprises, but its time-tested generational themes still pack a solid punch. The film simmers before it explodes and it maintains the slow burn for a moment too long in the quieter moments between family members. The fight scenes are decent, Stallone's still appealing, and when Bill Conti's original theme kicks in, it's impossible to resist. But please, no more. But when Caple really lets "Creed II" run wild, it's breathtaking. Hugely enjoyable, with some terrific performances and a keen eye on the continuing evolution of the series, maintaining the heart of the original. If Creed was almost as good as the Rocky, Creed II is almost as good as Creed.
