Creed II is not as good as the first movie, but it's decent. The most compelling and emotional part of the film is the Drago family, which I didn't expect. By the end, I felt sorry for them, as they weren't just 1980s bad guys but human beings who had to prove themselves worthy.

The second "Creed" continues down the exciting new path set by the first one, and further builds on its explorations of the meaning of legacy and how those of fathers' live on through their sons.

Predictably heartwarming. What I like most about it is that they did not portray Viktor Drago as all evil, his short subplot conveniently gain some sympathy.

A brawny and powerfully acted sports drama that features the reunion of Stallone and Lundgren while their characters' younger counterparts fight for the title. Michael B. Jordan displays a quiet intensity for smaller moments as much as his cocky swagger for the big cinematic beats. Newcomer Florian Munteanu is a mammoth of a person but capable inducing pity from viewers with his unflinching loyalty to his father. The fight scenes are good but not quite as exciting as the scenes in the first CREED. It's a good sequel but missing a few things that would elevate it to a great one.
