Review of Creed II (2018) by Axet — 25 Nov 2018

Shadow boxing excuse for a movie; it's a soulless, unnecessary, sheer bore that like its affirmative action insanely over-rated predecessor features a no charisma lead character played by an utterly lackluster actor who's in great shape physically but that's it.

Points for a semi-clever plot digging back into the Rocky canon as Stallone did so cleverly throughout his series and no doubt had a hand in here (He should have called it quits though after the last one!), but the actual antagonist is nearly non-present.

The tone on this spinoff series is wrong and this thing drags badly, one thing Rocky movies never did.
