Creed II

[spurraider21]

I grew up with the Rocky movies so I have a nostalgic love for them, but man those movies sucked ass. I don't know how the they became so popular among grown ass men. The over the top boxing in those movies make Superhero films look realistic and believable. Is it too much to ask for some boxing coreography where the guy getting punched doesn't do a 360 on the air?

also punches never get blocked. everyone's just landing haymakers for 10+ rounds

[LaMarcus Bryant]

How can you not go see a movie with Rocky and Drago in it.? It's automatic gold.

I think this aspect of the choreography was fixed when Creed was filmed.

[FrostKing]

Whatever. Watch it, enjoy it. Not the film for me

[djohn2oo8]

Was pretty good

[UZER]

Initial reaction, not great but really good. But I think this will be one I enjoy with more viewings.

Felt like it was halfway between the old franchise and the first Creed.

[FrostKing]

Let me take a wild guess, today's Hollywood has the african defeating the Russian?

I might try to catch it this weekend. I've heard it's exactly what you expect it to be, but Jordan really sells it.

Yeah it is, and yeah he does.

Yes, its absurd the blacks would be good at sports. Total Hollywood BS.

Same here. Was happy to see Drago given an arc.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Can't wait to see this one.

turn in your

[Killmonger]

Yeah, something like that would never happen in real life





sit down and shut up, got

[LaMarcus Bryant]

This movie should end with Drago Jr wobbling then Creed goes full Killmonger and says "This yo son? This yo son???" Slams him with a hook to the side of the head knocking the outta Drago Jr, with Drago Jr's body flailing, flopping, convulsing up and down on the floor while Ivan watches helplessly as his son dies in the ring


Would be ultimate justice.

[Spurminator]

This was a chick flick for guys. But I still loved it.

Lol just wait and see

Russia out performs the entire African continent in the Olympics

[SpursforSix]

I haven’t seen it but it’s a solid 7/10.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Well done.
I liked how they contrasted this with Rocky IV
The drago - drago subplot was good.
Movie didn't around too much it gave the fans what they wanted to see right out the gates.
Two thumbs up

[Xevious]

Was it a two hour music video/montage like Rocky IV, or did it have a storyline and stuff?

[Kurgan]

the first one was a labor of love from a quality director, this one is a cash grab don't get me wrong it can still work but it definitely won't be as good

Stop slurping Coogler's so much. Every film in the Rocky series after the first one was a cash grab. The first Creed didn't bring anything new to the table. it was essentially another retread of the first Rocky with some mawkish cancer bits thrown in. There's really only one classic in the series(the original). Everything else is either a rehash of that movie(Rocky II, Rocky Balboa, Creed 1) or an unabashed popcorn flick(Rocky III, Rocky IV). Creed 2 falls into the latter category, mostly aping the third film. It's not really any better or worse than it's predecessor. Both follow their respective formulas to a tee but at least the sequel has an entertaining antagonist in Viktor Drago - much better than the charisma vacuum that was Ricky Conlan in the previous film. That scrub was barely a step above Tarver's character in Rocky Balboa.

It actually felt more like a mix of Rocky II and III than IV.

Definitely had a training montage, because of course. Pacing-wise, more like II. Thematically, more like III.

Storyline but they didn't get too into it. Pace was fast, the fights were often. It was a good action flick but don't expect a spiritual reawakening from it.
