Review of Creed II (2018) by Notbuyingit — 24 Nov 2018
Don't go to a Rocky or Creed movie expecting it vary too far from the formula, it won't. Stallone's wise-old-man role as Adonis Creed's Yoda is not new, but has matured since Creed and is very much fun to watch as he delivers Jedi-master words of wisdom in shorter-than-a-Tweet sound bites. The battles in the ring are spectacularly cringe-worthy and or course the climax will play out in 12 rounds. Kind of goes without saying.
Adonis' truth-of-character is buried deep and as a "dig-deep" story, it comes with more nuance than you'd expect. But as predictable (or not) as the movie formula may be, you'll enjoy the ride if you let yourself.
