creed II

IN THEATERS NOVEMBER 21. Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he is up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family's past only intensifies his impending battle in the ring.

POSITIVES…
- Michael B Jordan is as good as ever.
- Stallone is Stallone, and I guess we don’t ask for more than that.
- I really liked the story line specifically about Adonis and Bianca.
- I also really liked the plot thread between Ivan Drago and his son Viktor.
- The training montages are always enjoyable to watch.
- Boxing matches are explosive and good as well.
- The overall themes of this story are great, and the movie takes it’s time to let the characters breath and grow.

NEGATIVES…
- The movie takes it’s time, and some might say that it also moves a bit slower than expected.
- It’s a solid movie about boxing, but it honestly doesn’t really add anything new to the genre.
- This franchise still relies heavily on nostalgia and is still retreading what we’ve seen in the Rocky movies.
- Maybe the next installment will finally let Adonis Creed stand on his own for real.

P.S….
- There are a couple of cameo appearances that I didn’t know about, and were pleasantly surprised to see.
